She is very grateful for all the prayers and support to assist her.

Praise God for all His mercies and blessings!

At home already

A precious little Sophia is at home already. She and her young mommy is doing really well. Praise God!

When we took away Lena from the hospital, there was made a Hospital Discharge for her and her baby.

I do not know how it is in other countries. It would be interesting to know ... But here in Ukraine, where her mother with a newborn baby is discharged from the hospital, the employee may make a solemn discharge, of course with the consent of relatives or friends. Everyone decides for himself whether he wants it or not. Certainly, we wanted to have a special event for our lovely mother. :)

There were many different wishes and congratulations.

A woman has arranged a fun lottery. Everyone pulled the card, where it was written, who will do what for the baby. 

Take to the zoo,  nurse in absence of parents, be a sponsor, sing lullabies, etc. It was very funny. 

                         

 All this happens very quickly, within 10-15 minutes, but stayed pleasant and joyful memories.

But at home, a pleasant surprise waited for Lena. We bought a crib, canopy, a blanket, a mattress and everything need for a crib.All is not new, but in great condition. We haggled with a woman, that would be even cheaper to buy it all. But when she learned that we buy for an orphan, she has lowered and sold out by a very good price, and gave a several new different bottles for the baby free of charge. Yay! What a joy!

We have set all and decorated by balloons. Everything turned out great! I really like the crib and everything in it. ;)

"Wow! This is so beautiful!", our young mommy cried out, when came into the room. She was so impressed and so excited and started to hug everyone. :) We were so glad she loved it and  she was happy!

She immediately had put a little angel there, who slept so peacefully. Isn`t Sophia precious? :)

She is our little princess, who deserves the best what we can give.She is such beautiful gift from God!What a wonderful blessing she is for her sweet mommy! ;0)

Welcome to the world, little Sophia!

This morning, around 8:30 am I got a phone call.

-Alla, please come! I am very afraid! I'm scared! through her tears, weeping bitterly called Lena.

-All will be well, dear! I'm going!

I hurriedly began to gather at the hospital. I started to worry a bit. Arriving at the hospital and saw this precious girl that she was in good order. I calmed down and the Lord gave me peace in my heart. I belived that everything will be well. I realized that Lena should have give a birth to a sweet baby today. She was VERY scared.Hmm. Not surprise.

It was not easy for her. I consoled and encouraged, Lena as I could, doing massage, read comforting verses from the Bible and prayed. But the Lord gave me the confidence and peace of mind that everything will be fine. The perfect peace of God filled my heart. I am so grateful to Him for that! Thank God, my past  little experience was very useful. I told Lena, what to do and how, etc. Also God blessed with a very good medical staff, doctor, obstetrician and others.

And .. at 1.25 pm a miracle happened!A little Sophia arrived to this world!Oh, my! Tears. Just tears of happiness.

My first words were. -Oh my! She is so cute! :)

She is sooooo precious!Born one small miracle. She's just a gem and treasure!

She is SO beautiful! Isn`t she? :)

We are so happy for Lena!
One more miracle  happened. Doctors were surprised  partly, that Lena, being small in stature and delicate constitution, gave birth to a big baby 3,550 kilograms(7826.3 pounds) and 54 centimeters(21.26 inches). Is not a miracle and mercy of the Lord?

Sofia is a healthy precious girl. And all thanks to you, my friends! We have helped and fed Lena, that a baby would was born healthy. Praise God it happened!

Our young mommy is doing very well and still can not believe that has happened this miracle. :) Also, the Lord gave me strength and I am not tired, despite the fact that only 3 hours I slept. :) Working at night, I went to bed just before dawn at 5.00 am and after 3 hours Lena called me. I'm so glad that God gave me strength and also to be with our sweet mommy and support her in this exciting moment. It's AMAZING how God set it up, and blessed!!!

We are SO grateful for all your prayers and support! I believe thanks to your prayers and mercy of our Saviour everything went just perfectly!What an amazing joy and blessing!God is sooooo good, as ALWAYS!  :)

EXTREMELY URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

A few days ago I received a phone call. Picking up the phone, I heard the bitter and desperate cry of a young girl. Who in depressing,   told me terrible experiences in her life right now. She is overwhelmed with grief...

  Zhenya is 16 years old orphaned mother, who gave birth a small boy Vitya 4 months ago.She got to marriage for father of her son. But they survive and live in such poverty.We support this family as much as we can.

  Several months ago, she bought a house from her aunt for $625 and moved  to live to this house in another town. 

When we were there last time, we explained to her that she should do the paperwork, that this is her own home. It's not a good thing that she bought a house without documents.

  A few days ago, she learned that she can NOT live in this house, because it is belongs to government and such houses are not sold at all. 

She is on the street already! She has no right to live there because the house does not belong to Zhenya at all. A true owner of the house must come and live there.

It sounds that aunt Zhenya cheat to her. Now, Zhenya, with small baby Victor have nowhere to live!  

  Zhenya wrote a statement to the police at her aunt. Went to the local authorities and explained the situation and asked for help, etc. But she was denied it. 

I do not know how this will end... But we ask you to pray very hardly, PLEASE. Zhenya crying bitterly and does not know what to do and where to go...After all, she had nowhere to go and ask for help...

Please, pray that the local authorities have done something because it is their duty!Pray that God will protect Zhenya and her baby and help to solve this trouble.

If this girl will not find in the near future a place to live. Government employees can take away her precious son and place him in an baby house. In order to protect a newborn baby from hunger, cold, and give a roof over his head, a children's home...

From  despair and hopelessness, Zhenya is forced to move to the house of her mother in-law, who abuse alcohol and kicked her out of the house some time ago. But more than that, her mother in law is ill with tuberculosis! She does not take any medication and does not interested in fact that was waiting for her and what kind of life she leads. It is VERY dangerous to live in that house! Alcohol abuse, sickness, the crime there . Zhenya, her husband and the child can become infected with this terrible disease that has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in our country.

Ukraine holds the 2nd place in Europe in the incidence of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis - the only officially recognized as an epidemic in our country, which has lasted for 17 years, since 1995. According to official statistics, ill with tuberculosis in Ukraine 457 thousand people, according to unofficial - about a million. Every day, more than 100 doctors diagnose patients. 1 hour in Ukraine four people are infected with tuberculosis and dies. 

Among the causes of death from infectious disease tuberculosis is more than 80%. 

When I explained to this poor girl that this is not a good idea to live with her mother in law with a TB patient and who abuse alcohol . She said, I have no choice ...

Oh, my!PLEASE, pray for all this situation!

Yes! It happened!

  It happened dear Friends! God answered our prayers!It happened a miracle!!!

The very last day God sent a wonderful blessing to Olya enough not for a month but for FOUR months!Oh, my! It is AMAZING!Praise God!!!!

  Thank you VERY MUCH for your enormous concern and efforts to help. Thank you SO much for your participation and prayers. We are so excited and happy! It's amazing to see how God blesses through His precious children and generously pours His wonderful blessings! Just for a day we raised 45% of needed funds. It is almost half! Wow! Only alive God is God of wonders!

  Our wish is to raise $1,700.  So, we still need $921 more. PLEASE, keep pray!We believe with all our hearts, when God began to bless, He will finish and not leave on the half way. :)

  Olga entered to the Lyceum- school. Yesterday was a bit of a difficult day. It took some time that would settle her in the dorm. Then all the students of the Lyceum gathered in the auditorium and had a meeting and introduction with the administration of the school. Then the meeting of the  group in class and getting to know the teachers. We were able to pay for tuition, housing, etc. All this took some time and we're all a little tired. For Olga it was a special and exciting moment. When we said goodbye, this precious girl cried herself suddenly. In the beginning it will be difficult for her... After all, everything is new for her. The new city, the people, the place of housing, bandmates, a way of life. She started a new life... She worries, a lot of thoughts and impressions.

We would be so thankful, if you would pray for this precious soul.That the Lord will help her in everything.Thank you!

Thank you very much for giving her a chance to have a future!

P.S.  Donations can be made through PayPal BOM,  thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com

Only one day for a miracle...

We have only one day... One day, that the Lord do a miracle to help Olya with education. Because August 31 at 9:00 am, we should meet with this poor girl and pay for her tuition, living and  help with food. We have to pay for one month. We need only $189.00. 

God has NEVER left us, even at the last minute! The Lord gives me peace in my heart. I believe that something is about to happen... I just do not know what to say to Olya, when we will meet with her ... "Sorry. We can not help you. We did not meet your expectations..." 

What should I tell her?I do not know.I do not know how to look her in the eye on that day ...How to wipe away her bitter tears and comfort?

Will I tell her that the Lord has answered your prayers and poured out his boundless love for you? You can learn and get an education, attend to church and to be with your Christian friends(BOM), who know you for many years. Will she be able to rejoice and praise God in that day?

But she HOPES! She PRAY. And BELIEVES she will fly out of the house, where she suffers abuse and violence. Fly out and start an independent life. She beg and plead of God to help her realize her dream. She is SO excited and waiting for a miracle!

We kindly ask you PLEASE, support our sister in Christ in prayer that the Lord would have realized her dream, defended and keep from evil. Please, would you help this precious soul give a future and hope?Would you pray please, God will pour out His blessings to this beautiful girl?Would you pray, God will show His love and care of this treasure?Our hope is only God.

"[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living". Psalm 27:13 

PLEASE, pray for a miracle!Thank you!

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!What a great joy! What an amazing blessing! We have all necessary funds $2000 for needs of Lena and her small Sophia. THANK YOU!Thank you very much everyone, who took part in this project! Thanks to your prayers and generousity God made it possible! Awesome! 

Thank you for your open hearts and sharing bread with widows and orphans, like Job did in past.

"If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof."  (Job 31:16-17)

Thank you!Thank you! Thank you! Oh, how I wish to give a hug  everyone!Because my heart exults and rejoices with gratefulness to you all.  :)

A small seeds for a big tree

We are so grateful for your open hearts to help Lena in her needs and to her baby!

It is such a great joy to see how your precious gifts are sending to the needy souls. We already raised $1,330. It is much closer to our goal. Praise God!!! Many thanks for your such awesome generousity!

Do you see this cute baby carriage? I love it! 

It is made for a cold and warm seasons. The Lord arranged so that we could buy for very good price. This carriage though used already but in an excellent condition. Lena will be able to use soon this baby carriage and to carry there her precious baby. Lenochka was so glad and excited  with this news! Thanks friends that you sow these seeds of love that in the future it brought glory to our Lord and that the big tree would grow. This tree of belief that will help Lena to come to the Lord and kneel before Him in a repentance prayer. Once, she told that she would accept the Christ, but she isn't sure, she is not ready yet. Time is necessary, that these seeds of care and love grew and in due time bore a fruit. Continue to pray, please!

When we bought a baby carriage for the Lena`s kid in one shop. I involuntarily saw when the seller of shop gave a small bag to other woman with the children's things which have been in advance prepared. While we waited our turn, between women there was a small dialogue. And I understood that the seller collects from time to time children's clothes and gives to this woman. This woman from some organization and I so understood that they help poor families, where there are small children. 

This shop is for the used children's things. Sometimes you can find there the used children's things in very good condition. The prices are different there and cheap and expensive. People bring what  isn't necessary for them any more to this shop and leave there. The shop sells at contractual price with owner, taking from him an additional payment, for services. Thus people sell things unnecessary them. 

Having witnessed this conversation, I meditated.Hmm... And why to us not to ask? Why not? Will be they able, though sometimes, to help children's things to orphans and lonely mothers? I meditated and couldn't dare to ask.

 But in an instant the seller of shop interrupted my thoughts and uncertainty. 

-And why to you not to ask for us to help you to collect children's things also? I became puzzled of such unexpected question a little and was in perplexity. 

-And is it possible? I asked. 

-Absolutely!- surely answered the seller. Here is our office number for you. You call, ask and what we will be able, we will help. The seller spoke giving me their business card. 

Even, if it will be some things and a small bag of children's clothes for our precious kiddies and lonely mothers. But is it not a blessing? Is it not God's hand? Such joyful and excited I flew home. It seemed that I rush on wings, my heart was filled by such pleasure and great joy ! Is it not God's mercy?Our God is awesome!!!  ;)

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!

Just a simple thing...

I`m working on another blog post and can not wait to tell you about one more awesome day we had recently. :)

 But right now I would like to tell you shortly something, what absolutely melted my heart...

You know that women, ladies and even little girls like all these things, as nice dress,  pretty-pretties, make hair, body cream, perfume and all this stuff. We are a little different than men. :)))

We had a fun with Olga and I innocently suggested to make her hair a little.

-Are you serious?! she asked surprised

-Yes. Why not?

 She sat down on chair, was trembling and having hidden her face.

-What happened, dear?

-Wow!Wow!Wow! It is unbelievable...It is unbelievable...It is unbelievable, every minute Olechka was saying.

-I`m excited and so happy.I`m thrilled!I can not believe...So emotionally this precious young lady was telling.First time in my life someone is making my hair...It was my dream...And then she started to cry...

Oh, my goodness!It was tears of happiness.Can you believe it?

She was overjoyed! 

-I love, I love my hair! I will tell it to Sasha(her husband). He will not believe!- with such a joy said Olechka.

Oh, my!!! Such a simple thing brought tears of joy to this lovely girl...Such a very small action touched her heart.It absolutely melted my heart...

It touched me so deeply. Sometimes we think to make something big, something awesome to orphans showing the love.But sometimes a small acting of love can melt and overwhelm their hearts...And even make real their hearted dreams and bring such a blessing.

P.S.Today a small Edick made his first 2 steps by himself. His parents were so happy! :)

A blessing days with new friends

Hello everyone!Finally I can update about some wonderful blessings we have.

In previous blog post I told you that some family from USA is going to come and spend some days with BOM.So, they came and we had amazing time visiting of orphans! God has been so good to us!  We had a wonderful and fun time.

So, we had a possibility to visit our little treasures telling them about God.

The weather is very nice now, such warm as summer. After program we played with kiddies outside, blew bubbles.

They were so excited, rejoiced to play and catch bubbles!It was so sweet and fun time.

In the end kids received beautiful pajamas.It was even more joy! :) Thank you very much, Susan Booker!

Then, we visited another our beloved souls with Bible lessons.At this time we have spoken about 10 plagues of Egypt.

As we need extra hands always.Our new friends were wonderful blessing and helped to those, who needed help.

Girls made craft frogs, as one of plague of Egypt. :)

Also Jesus gave us a possibility to visit a young lady, who gave birth a little precious baby.We congratulated her, and presented necessary difference items to newborn boy. 

Honestly, we have been in shock.We thought probably..,probably someone could to help this family, knowing their situation. As Zhenya is very young orphaned mother and her husband works since New Year and brings to home 100-200grivna for a month ($12.5-$25.00 sometimes more...). When we came...We could not believe and it absolutely broken our hearts...The newborn baby is so tiny and small that the clothes we bought smallest size, it is still too big for him.

This little darling boy had only ONE baby linen that a hospital gave and mother should return it.This family had not at home food,  ABSOLUTELY nothing! Even it is very nice weather outside, at home was very cold because the house is very old. We told to the mother that she keep open a door that warm air come to the house.Outside is much warmer than inside! But it is heavy in same time because there hundreds mosquitos! It was impossible to sit there! Oh, poor little boy Vitya...  Mosquitos bites him all time! We wanted to buy something against these creatures. But did not find.This family lives in small town and people snapped up everything! This year we have too many mosquitos! Brrrrr!

Zhenya was very happy received the food and all items to her baby. Can you imagine her condition, being a hungry daily, plus breastfeeding her boy, at cold home, being bite by mosquitos every day, having nothing to her baby, living is such poverty and not having ANY hope for help...Oh, my! I even can not imagine how it can be? When she showed to us her son Vitya, I was ready to cry...

 Seeing the condition of this family, it is very heavy...It is so sad and breaks heart.

The Lord Jesus brought us not only help in physical needs, tell about Him to the mother again. When we have been there, Zhenya`s father had guest there, who spent many years at orphanage too.He is not able to help to his children.He even did not have money come back to home, where he lives...We shared the Gospel with him as well.

But the most joy and awesome blessing for us was, when Zhenya`s neighbour, a teen Roma came to this house to see who visited  her ;) He lives without parents too, only with his older brother. This young man (in orange T-shirt on the picture) listened about God, salvation, His love and he asked Jesus Christ saved him! What an awesome blessing! Praise the Lord!

So, we have one more reason to visit this small town again and again. ;0)

We had wonderful and such blessed days with our new friends, this beautiful and Christ lovers family!

BOM team with family Branscum

Even we spent several days.  But we were ready to cry telling them goodbye. Tell me, why it is so heavy to say goodbye sometimes? :)

An one broken heart

I`m not very good blogger for 10 days already.I am so sorry. :( We are busy with visit of orphans and another our mission work.I absolutely have not time.But I very hope and will try to find a time soon, to update what is going on here.Thank you for understanding.

                                  **********************************
But here I would love so much ask you to pray for a one precious soul with a broken heart and so lonely.Our hearts ache and are so sad.

After the Bible meeting with kids when our team already collected things that to come back home. One guy approached and started asking some questions of God and to disprove that he doesn't believe in that that the Bible speaks. I having looked back around, noticed that the team can handle without me,  having collected all things. This guy needs time to talk.

Having communicated some time and quoting, reading  places of Scripture from the Bible and arguing, he rejected everything and told it all is a lie and continued to argue.

At the end I told:
-Do you want to tell, that the Bible deceives?
-Yes! He in the affirmative answered.
-Is it mean God is a liar too?
-Yes.There was his answer.

I didn't believe that he told the truth because he promised to start reading the Bible before. In some moments he contradicted to himself.
-I believe, very deep in your heart that you believe in God and everything He says in the Bible.You just does not wish to accept it for some reason,- I continued .
He did not answer.
Hmm.. I told him.
-Vitaly, seems to me you not about it want to talk. You are interested not in it.
-How do you know?! There was a surprised question.
I smiled.
-I`m not 16 years old. I am a little older than you and I see you well.
Probably my answer wasn't so well. But he told that I was right.
Then I told in the affirmative as in it I was confident. I noticed he looked for reason to speak with someone.
-Something disturbs you and about it you would like to talk.
-No, no!
We having left a class already and continued to communicate. I told.
-Ok.when time will come, you can talk about your feelings.
-No. No! I don't want! He hid his head in a jacket hood, pulling on himself, trying to cover his anxiety but walk around me.
-Ok. You do not mind if we would pray for you?
-No, I don't want! God will not help me! Already nobody will help me,- he said in low tones having turned away aside. His face dropped and he was grieved.

For an instant I thought. Well. Probably he wasn't ready... Probably not time yet. Probably he was afraid to open...Thoughts were turning in the head. But very much it was clearly visible that something disturbed him. We will pray that the Lord would help him and healed his broken and wounded heart, I thought... At the end I told him.
-Vitaly, remember that you are special for the Lord. He loves you and wants to help you. He loves you, want you it or no. I believe with all my heart that He has a special plan for your life.
I thought that on it our conversation stopped...

 In a moment other boy ran up to our van, called me that to resolve an issue with a gift on Birthday. Having left him for sisters to solve it, I returned to Vitaly and was surprised... He didn't leave. He didn't want to leave! He approached and continued to communicate with brother Misha. And he opened, friends... At this moment, when I absolutely didn't expect!
  He told us his heart pain and troubles. His mother got to hospital. He doesn't know what with her. He worries about her. And is next sorrow... I type and my heart feel his heartstrings, so bitterly and so sadly. Tears in eyes. His brother got to road accident and is in coma. Doctors don't give chance of life... I can't tell all details. Probably his brother already died. Vitaly doesn't know all details.It is so heartbreaking. But he is very afflicted and grieved. He is as the wounded bird who needs healing and the help...
It is awful! He is in a orphanage. Alone. There is nobody to talk. Also can't be near his relatives...How it can be?

Also he told us that wants to get rid of addictions as alcohol and smoking. But he can't. He wants something new, and to live  another way. It very much surprised me. Because a short time ago. He laughed and spoke "vodka and cigarettes, it is everything that is necessary for life!" Certainly, it has broken our hearts. I don't remember what we spoke to him about it then.

But last Saturday we had a wonderful meeting with teenagers in this orphanage and spoke about a choice. Also about alcohol, smoking, drugs and about consequences.

We promised to arrive in 2 weeks again, if God allows. There a week passed. Today he came running before the Bible lesson with younger kids and asked. Why you did not arrive today to us, to older children? We reminded him that agreed to meet teenagers in 2 weeks, but not in a week. Today is turn of younger kids. So, it seems that before a meeting he already looked for communication and waited, when we will finish.

When we continued to communicate with Vitaly, one of teachers approached and started speaking what he is the difficult and disobedient child. I believe that much more he would tell us, but he having again hidden his face in a jacket hood, escaped... So sad.And on it our communication interrupted...

I think. Whether teachers and orphanage administration spoke with him. Why he so behaves? Whether he spoke openly with them? Did he opened  the heart? Whether they were interested, when or why the anger and offense he pours out on others? Whether they know in general, what now occurs in his family? Whether they know pain of his heart? Whether they see why he hides and concealed?
I have the answer...But I so much want to be wrong...

Friends. Our pleading and prayer is for Vitaly. He is only 16 years old, and he was already tired of everything … Please, pray that the Lord Jesus healed his heart and soul. That the Lord would make a miracle in his family. That the Lord healed this lonely soul in search of truth and a consolation. That he will give his heart to Jesus. The friend is necessary to this guy. Someone is necessary, to whom he will be able to trust and open the heart. Someone is necessary, to whom he will be able to pour out all the bitterness and pain.

I already wait for the next Saturday more, from that again to talk to him and to console him. Instead of from that that to meet all teenagers. Though we wish it very much, as well we plan.I think as for guy, it will be better to talk to him to brother Misha.

Would you pray, please for heart and soul healing of Vitaliy?Would you, please, remember him in your daily prayers?He has a hard time now. He needs Jesus so much.Thank you so much!

I can breath by nose!

...such happy called Vova by phone some days later after surgery and demonstrated it.  :)

He is so happy he can breathes by his nose and feel himself  fully  functional person.He is so excited he does not suffer as before. He rejoice and praises God!

Praise the Lord, who blessed so abundantly this sweet guy and cares of his needs!

Everyone was surprised that Vova recovered so quickly! As it was told that he will be in hospital of 7-10 days or even 2 weeks. But everything happened much quicker!It`s because of so many prayers of you all! :)

Vova is at home now. He is doing very well.What a joy!But the doctor said we have to wait some days.And hope next week BOM will take care of Vova for treatment of his teeth.Such an awesome blessing and great joy for the guy!

Thank you so very much for your prayers, great support, generous donations, care and love of Vova.What a  wonderful blessing you are for him!God bless you!

Vova after surgery

What an awesome God we serve!We thank sincerely all of you, who opened your hearts and answered to the call of God to care of the orphaned children!What a great joy!

Just for several hours we raised $605 to help Vova! And plus $175 we had. Total is $780. It`s even more than enough for the surgery! Praise God! But the rest of the funds we will spend to help Vova with his teeth.What an amazing blessing for Vova!We are so happy for him!

Thank you!Thank you so much for your support and help!

Well.Vova had the surgery today. It seems that everything is well for now.We had not possibility to see his doctor.But we had possibility to visit this sweet guy.He slept more than 5 hours after general anesthesia.When we  came to visit him, he still looked sleepy but could to speak a bit.He looked so tired.Poor guy.

 We were told he will spend not smaller than a week in hospital and probably just in 2 weeks he will feel better.

Please, keep pray for his quick recovery and his good health and spirit as well.I will update, when we have any news.

Many, many thanks!What a blessing you are to the orphaned children!We really appreciate the assistance.God bless you!

Joy in the heaven!

Bible says:"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance". (Luke15:7)KJV

We so rejoice and sooooo happy that one more sinner repented, that one more sheep is found!We praise God, that one more orphan wishes to follow Jesus and to live for Him!

Yesterday Vova stood up in the end of church service and said he wants to be saved and receive Jesus Christ.He prayed.He became a Christian and he is not lost any more!What a joy, joy, joy and great blessing!!!! Halleluiah!!!

Vova was in one of orphanages that we visit regularly. He remembers all our trips, he especially liked puppet show. :) Also to him was especially remembered the last meeting with graduates a few years ago, where he heard about real stories how it is hard to live after a orphanage and Who can help them and change their life.

Vova's parents drank alcohol. Once, they wanted to drink again and without having money, they started to ask from Vova's grandmother. On what she refused to them. As a result in the face of small Vova his parents killed the grandmother. They got to prison and small boy in an orphanage … Since then, Vova never more saw the parents, he doesn't know where they, and also whether live they in general. Vova remembers everything that was and how there was this murder... While he was in a orphanage, and parents in prison, his house absolutely collapsed and today he has no place to live …

 Can you imagine fear, the tears, all horror and a stress of the little boy, drunk parents, quarrels, fights, blood, scare, murder of the grandmother, an orphanage, loneliness, the graduate of  orphanage, and now the street... It is simply awful WHAT he experienced and still to have to suffer, struggle and worry...It breaks our hearts.

Vova is very kind and diligent guy in performance. He is very hardworking and he with pleasure always does everything and asks, than he can be useful. He is modest and timid. Always with pleasure listens to the God's Word and likes to sing Christian psalms. But Vova has problems with health, problems with a back, an ulcer of a duodenal gut and a problem with feet. I don't know, what exactly because money for his inspection is necessary. Also he is a person with special needs... Because of the health he suffers and can't find work or often changes. On some works to him didn't pay the earned money. Therefore Vova is often hungry, is ill, can't buy necessary things, clothes. If he also works, works hungry till fatigue. 

Once, late at night, it was necessary to us, to go to other city, that to take away Vova home because he had no money to return back. He felt awkwardly, as he saw that we were very tired and sleepy(3.00am) But we explained to him, that the Christ made for him on much more, He suffered for him and gave His life on the cross that he would have eternal life. Therefore our fatigue, that it is nothing costs in comparison of what the Christ made for him. Having fed him, we explained, we love him and we can not leave at the night alone on the street.He left that work.

Vova survives. BOM helps him as can, with food, with footwear, clothes, but frequent we are unable.

 It would be such remarkable blessing, if someone or a family sponsored Vova monthly. That to help him with his daily needs, such as food, clothes, footwear, medications. Please, consider prayerfully this question. Probably, someone would wish to become a monthly sponsor and to help Vova?..How much you can...For any questions, please e-mail to bibleorphanministry@mail.ru Thanks.

The greatest problem for this nice guy is that today he IS ON THE SREET, he is the HOMELESS and he HAS NOT place to go... I will tell you more in the next blog posts. I have a LOT of things to tell you. 

Please, pray for Vova, for his spiritual growth, for his needs and for solutions of a question with housing. The help of Lord is necessary to us, all very much and very difficult...Oh, Lord Jesus, please, help us...
