Meet Lena, please...

Honestly.I do not know how to start... I was going to blog about it weeks earlier but could not find words.Many thoughts turn around in my head and it is difficult. It is hard, when you wish to help a person but you do not know HOW and you feel so helpless...

Imagine, how much it is possible...
When you a kid, you have been transfered from your family to children`s house.But you do not remember many things because you was a small girl. You do not remember faces of your brothers and sisters, you can not remember faces of your darling parents, mammy and daddy.You do not remember your father at all, because you never saw him... But you remember well and feel scared to death.When someone begin to scream and fight, you begin to tremble, want to hide far away in a corner or under bed.And you think that nobody will find you there. In children`s home you have been deprived your own things, because everything belongs not to you. You did not have your own toy or book. No one huged you but ignored, did not pay attention at all...

 But you grow, time goes and then you are transfered to an orphanage.Where are more grey and sad days.No one visits you and you feel alone.You with such disappointment look at other girls, who look  better than you and have beautiful dresses. And you have also a dress but only one, old and shabby one...

When you became a teen many questions come to your head.Where are my parents? Why they do not come? Are they alive? Why they left me ? Do I have brothers and sisters? How old they are?What they do now? Why and What is so and so and so many...

Then at the age of 18 years old you graduated the orphanage, you feel scared, where you will go?Where you will live? Where I will have a meal? But in same time you think  I got adult and everything will be well...

Then a trade school.You found a new friends, met your love.

Months later, you was told that you have 8 more brothers and sisters, who were born from 3 different fathers. You are a middle kid. Been more exactly not 8 but 7 children.Because your smaller, a little sister died in young age. You do not know names of your siblings, how old they are. Where they live. You only know that smallest brothers and sisters are in some orphanages...And they go on same difficult life road as you now. Have same feeling, same fears and emptiness in heart.

You try to find and meet them but everything is useless.It breaks your heart much more...

Not so good everything in your friendship with boyfriend. But you do not know how everything should be.And you think it is ok.That is fine. You think everything only begins.You only begin to live. You dream about happy life with your lover and you think everything will be good. 

But then your dreams smashes in a  moment. You feel scared. You do not know what to do? Your head turns around. What people will say? What will think friends?You feel much worst than years ago.You want to run away far away and forget about everything. You feel yourself awful and used... because you are pregnant... Your heart shrinks.Tears leaking on your face. Many bitter tears but you do not feel it.
 But you feel more awful and have more bitter tears, when your boyfriend having learned about your pregnancy, about your little precious baby refuse  marriage. When, with cry of your heart and many tears, you remind him about his promises to marriage on you... He stops to call to you by the phone and finds many excuses do not visit you any more and take care of you.

What felt this poor girl?What she thought? What pain she felt at those days? It is heavy even imagine... But this is real heartbreaking story, Friends about real person...

Meet Lena, please...

This beautiful young teen, never in her life have not seen her father.She even does not know his name.How sad.Her mother was in jail years ago because had murdered her younger sister, being a drunk.Her mother still drinks...Does this young girl knows about it?..I absolutely do not know.We have been told about it by a social worker. :(

Lena eats very little, to save money for housing.She lives in dormitory now.But when she will give a birth a little baby somewhere in August, she can not live in dormitory any more because of rules.There are can live only single persons.

BOM supports this sweet soul buying a food to her.

When BOM asked Lena why she would not leave her baby in baby house as many girls? She replied, I even had not thoughts  to leave her there. I know how bad to be there without parents.I want to give my love to my baby as I was deprived it.How precious is this?We love it!

So, our wish is to help this precious soul, feeling loved and take care of her. We plead and pray to the Lord Jesus to raise $2000. These finances will go to help Lenochka to buy all necessary things to her baby, be ready for childbirth. We expecting a girl! Such a joy! Also to help our young mommy with housing, food, clothing, whatever she and her baby will need during a year.

We already prepared some baby clothes and other things for newborn.Many thanks to those, who sent newborn baby clothes before!

If someone wish send to Lena and to her baby-girl, a clothes, food, whatever the Lord would place on your heart, you are welcome. She will be only happy! 

We very hope through these acts, Lena will feel love of the Lord Jesus and one day would ask Him to be her Saviour.She began to read the Bible and visits the church.Would you please, pray about her salvation?Thanks.

Can we do it together? Can we show Christ love to Lena, through support of her and her little angel?Can we bring joy to heart of this sweet girl and  glory to alive God?

We kindly ask you to pray about this need, to help Lena and her baby.Also, would you PLEASE, share about her need?Many thanks, dear Friends!

If the Lord gives you a wish, you can send your gift directly to BOM through PayPal  thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Just select option "I'm sending money to family or friends" and leave a note that this gift is to Lena and her baby.Thanks a lot!

The thermometer on the right side of the blog, will show you how much was raised.It will not show automaticly. We will update it. 

THANK YOU very much for any your help and involvement!May God bless you!

  2. Where do she and other girls in her similar situation stay? Are there many places (Christian ) in Ukraine for the housing of unwed mothers who desire to keep their babies but need necessary help to take care of them. Are there missionaries that take these girls in usually?

    1. Well.It is hard to answer on this question.Because it is main of troubles toward to orphans in Ukraine.If graduated orphans can not find housing. What we can say about pregnant girls? It is impossible.
      Each of them try to find housing where it is possible... They can live in house of their friends, relatives, whatever...But not for a long time.They survive.

      No. We never heard about places, even Christian for the housing of unwed mothers who desire to keep their babies.Sadly.But we do not have these places in Ukraine.
      Also we never heard about missionaries that take these girls.
      Thanks for questions.

      It is our big dream to buy or build, whatever ..., a house for graduated orphans, who need the help and single mothers, who wish take care of their babies.
