Necessary items for graduates

The main reason for our night trip yesterday was the purchase of gifts for graduates! ;)
Every year they leave their orphanages empty-handed...Life is very hard for them without support. Each year, BOM blesses teens with the necessary items.

So, we have started this huge and wonderful project to bless 60 graduates with blankets and kitchen utensils!We are so excited!!! We went early at 3.00 AM to another city to the bazar. God was good and blessed in many ways!

We could buy blankets and kitchen utensils at a good discount. Isn`t it wonderful to see God`s hand in it?

At night it's harder to drive on bumpy roads. But God is good and we had a safe trip!

This year the roads became even worse in Ukraine. But in some places it is already being repaired. Therefore, we really hope for improvement so that we do not have to repair the van after almost every long trip.

                             

This is what happens when you drive on bumpy roads in Ukraine ;) You're losing parts from your vehicle! Ha ha!Thank God that we noticed it in time! 

Nature wakes up and everything blooms that so pleases your sight and brings a joy to your heart!

We are very grateful to everyone for donatings and participating in this wonderful project! It's so great not only to cover the needs of many but also to be a participant in the joy and admiration of precious hearts!THANK YOU very much!!! ♥ May God greatly bless you!!!

Please, pray for graduates, for their hearts, for their needs and that they would give their lives to Heavenly Father.

Waiting

Some time ago we have started a huge and wonderful project to help renovait the housing for sweet Kozak family. So, the housing repair is over. Since the family is big, and the room is small, we had to make some furniture to order. Oh, yes, by the way the kitchen is ready and can be used! :) We are waiting for the sofa. Also we ordered a wardrobe and 3 bunk bed, since there are three boys. Shhhh! Just do not tell Olga and Sasha! ;))) Ha ha!

So we are waiting... It is need to wait about a month. We hope that in a few weeks this family will move and will enjoy having their own cozy and lovely nest. I just can`t wait to see their joy and admiration! Super excited!!! ♥

The Lord feeds the orphans

We are so very excited to share with you all amazing blessing we have!

The director of the Children`s House phoned us and asked for help with the food some time ago. Because the institution does not have enough money for food.

These precious kiddies are so very sweet! They love visitors so much! Their hugs and kisses melt your heart. ♥ Very sad... But many of them are from very poor families, drugs or alcohol addiction... And many of these sweet kids transfer to orphanages when they get age 6 years old. :(

We prayed and asked the Lord to help to feed these sweet children.

We are so happy the Lord provides necessary funds to bless these little souls!

These little children will have food for a long time now! BOM was able to purchase rice, buckwheat, flour, sugar, sunflower oil, peas, pasta and more. It is over ton of food!!! Wow!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH to bless little ones! Thanks a lot to care and love them! Many, many thanks to those, who made it possible and we praise God for His goodness and mercy!!!!

God is good all the time!!! :)

Precious Boys Have Caring Hands!

A while ago we have started a project raising funds for sweet boys, who needed Extra Hands. 

We have been blown away with goodness and mercy of God! Just in a week we raised $4,390! Wow! Wow! Our God is mighty!!! It is enough to pay nannies for 6 months friends!Thanks alot for your generous hearts!You all are AMAZING!

We are so very grateful to every prayer and every donation. These hands are invaluable. Your gifts of love are value and make a huge difference!!! It gives a chance of life for precious boys! THANK YOU very much to made it possible! We greatly cherish your love and care of these precious souls!!! ♥

Delight and joy in the orphanage

We have such an exciting news! BOM has done one more big project few days ago! Awesome! We were able to purchase 6 new couches, carpet and vacuum cleaner for the orphanage!Praise God!!! The orphanage before had broken couches and in terrible condition. 

Girls were so delighted and so very happy! They admired and rejoiced! It was so heartwarming to watch their expressions. ♥
The orphanage administration was so grateful and amazed! The director not only shook hand brother Misha, but also hugged him. He also kissed my hand. It happened so unexpectedly! I felt so uncofortable! Oh, my! He held out his hand to me, I thought to thank us but he kissed instead. Another employee kissed and hugged me and was ready to kneel before brother Misha! Can you imagine?! Oh no! No! This is from the Lord!!! We are only His servants! This reminds me of the Scripture in Acts 14:12-15, 18

"And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. 

Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 

Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 

And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: 

And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them."

It means everything for the sweet girls and staff of the orphanage!!! For BOM it helps to open more and more wide the door of the Gospel showing God`s love and care with precious souls!Often God give us chance to share about Jesus Christ not only with children but with staff of the orphanage too.

Couches before...

And after... with beautiful and soft carpet

Look at these beautiful smiling faces from happiness!

Precious smile

Vacuum cleaner to keep carpet clean ;)

Words cannot express their delight and joy! I think a short video will show you more :) Girls saying "Thank you" on Russian(in our region we speak both languages, Russian and Ukrainian) and on English in the end, if you can understand. ;)

Seeing old and broken furniture everyday, it depresses and disheartened. But who does not rejoice in new furniture? ;) Can you imagine how the girls were pleased with these new things???

We are so grateful to the church Proclamation in Pennsylvania, who made it possible!!! Our thanks never will be enough!!! Thank you so very much!!!!! God is so good blessing these beautiful souls!!! Girls were like in the Heaven so happy! ♥

Nursery Room

Hello everyone!

 Ta-da! Here is our Nursery Room! It is done! Isn't it beautiful? :) We are soooo very excited what God has done through you all!

 For a very long time I was going to give an update about Nursery Room, one of our projects. But for many, many different reasons, I was not able... Forgive me, please.

Children have many different stuffed toys, developing books, musical instruments and many more.

Since the funds were quickly provided. We started immediately!In a short time has been done a lot of work and the parents could use the room already. And we are gradually continued to do rest of the work and other details.

Cozy and cute place to sleep for little ones.

Beds can move over and make a low that kids not fall down.

Play area. Kids can draw, play puzzles, anything. I really like that the 2 tables can be moved apart if necessary.

Place for breastfeeding newborn.

Oh, I love these clouds!The white shelves we were sent here. I thought, hmm it would be great to remake them and hang in the Nursery room. There you can put the toys, books, photos and much more. So, it were made the clouds. I think it turned out cute. What do you think? :)

Also, it took me a long time to find the sun lamp. Oh, I was thrilled when I found! Children love the sun! ;)

In a previous blog post, if you read, I wrote about the photo frame. Do you remember how God sent exactly what I was looking for? :) So, here is what we have done. Since we have many kids. I wanted to put each separately. But we had to place them on some photos with others.We believe there will be more children in the future. After all, the church is growing! :) Will have to look for another picture frame or come up with something else. Ha ha! I think, I already have some ideas for the future... ;)

We all love, love, love our Nursery Room! The cute and lovely nest for little kids and their parents! We all and especially parents are so very grateful for this special area! The room is very tiny for so many little ones. But it is much better then have nothing! It is warm in cold season, cozy, cute and adorable. Kids and moms have everything necessary.

Thank you! Thank you so very much to make it possible and participate in this cute and lovely project!Thanks a lot to help parents come to church and listen the sermon of God, growing spiritually and be closer to Him.Kiddies really LOVE this room and often don't want go home! :)

Thank you very much to being such amazing blessing to many precious souls in Ukraine!You are such a great encouragement! ♥♥♥

Extra Hands for Saving Lives-new project

   Bible says...Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. (Proverbs 31:8-9)

  We do what we can, as far as God allows... One of our services is for children with special needs. BOM for several years already hires 4 nannies, who as loving mothers take care of the boys. Feed them, dress, change diapers, bathe, play with them, sing songs, learn to walk, laugh or even give just a simple hug. That's what everyone wants and every child deserves.  Simple love. And every child is precious in God's eyes. ♥

  Some time ago the BOM has received rewards for cooperation with a mental institution for the past many years. I think, 13 or 15 years from now? Honestly, we do not count how many years and how much we have helped. Because, no matter how much we doing, it is still very small... So much we have not done yet and how much we still did not help .... We understand that we are dust of the earth, and our doings is nothing compared with what God is doing. It is your reward! We cannot do anything without your love and participation :)

  It was very sweet and courtesy on the part of the administration institution. Melted our hearts. But the greatest reward is to see our boys' healthy, happy and alive! Yes, alive!

We are starting a new project caretakers could continue to do their job and take care of  these beautiful souls giving them their warmth, love, and do everything from the heart. This year, due to economic instability in Ukraine has been made order to cut many jobs. This way in the mental institution became even less nannies. It was hard before. Thus it became even much harder... Each time we come, and each time the administration warmly thanks for this wonderful support, extra nannies hands. These hands are invaluable!!! It is such a great help! What happens if we will not help? The boys will start die little by little... Do you think, this what God wants?

   Jesus said: "The thief(satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. "

Don't you see how Satan steals peace in the hearts of men, how killing and destroying precious human lives in different ways today? God called us all to fight for precious souls. Each Christian has his own calling. I believe each of you fighting for someone's life. Dear Church of Christ we are all fighters!It is such a privilege to be a warrior of Christ, and to be in God's army!

These kids are abandoned and much neglect... These are children, who deserve love family, a Chance to live a beautiful meaningful life. A chance to go to school, play at the park. See the zoo, ride a horse, fly a kite. What is impossible here... Most of the boys are not available for adoption anymore. But They Deserve To Be Able to LIVE LIFE!!! These nannies are as a loving mothers for them. Only one who can give a love and care...

And so we're here, and we need your help, please. We need to raise $7,200-7,500 for 4 nanny for a year. Wow! This is a huge number! Every month salary for nannies is different. It depends on how many hours they worked during the day and work at night is also a little higher. We will need $600-625 each month in the next year. So we need and hope to collect half of the required funds $3,870 and minus $120 PayPal fee.

Would you bless please? Giving your donation is value and make a huge difference!!! It gives a chance of life for precious boys! Even your little contribution mites or cent can save lives!

We have few different options to donate.
You can make a donation through the PitchIn black button on the right side of the blog. It automaticly will show the donation. But PayPal will take a fee, 2,3% from the donation.

You can donate by check. Please make out to Kevin Ruth who will then transfer the funds to us. The mailing address is: Bible Orphan Ministry P/O Box 328 Bremerton Wa. 98337

Also you can send as a gift through PayPal and we will add your donation to the button on the blog. For more info please email:bibleorphanministry@gmail.com

But mostly we ask you for prayers! Please, pray God will do a miracle and provide all needed funds. We can do absolutely nothing without Him! Please, pray for sweet boys. They deserve so much more then we can do... ♥♥♥ It breaks our hearts.

And we would be so very grateful if you could share about the current project please. Online, through emails, on social networks, with your church, family and friends...everywhere it is possible. It means a lot for us! Thank you so much!

We cannot imagine what will happen with the kids... if we won't be able to help take care of them. Please. This our biggest pleading for today. Saving Lives through Extra Hands...

Thank you very much in advance for any participation and prayers!!!Your support is important and gives a chance to live!!! Please, prayerfully consider a plea... May God bless you!!!

Gifts to Graduates

A month ago I was so very busy that had no time to make a blog post to raise funds for graduates. It was left few days before our last meetings with graduates and Last Bell ceremony.

I began to count days and we still did not have money. We began to pray asking our loving Father for a miracle. We needed around $1200. Honestly, I began to nervous a little as we had only few days! Do you know what?! Just in few days God provided funds through at one sweet family! Wow! Wow! Amazing!!!
So, we were able to buy Bibles,  kitchen utensils, blankets for 60 graduates! This was awesome blessing! We were super excited and praised God!

So, we were able to hold last meetings sharing with teens about God`s love.Brother Kevin(who spent several weeks with BOM), could share his testimony as well.

And in the end BOM could to bless graduates with beautiful gifts.

I love how this guy cherish his gift :)

So priceless! ♥

In one of orphanages we were at Last Bell ceremony, where brother Misha could give last guidance and encouragement from the Bible to graduates. It was sad to see that from 17 graduates of this orphanage only 5 relatives came to congratulate the kids. Can you imagine the sadness in their hearts? But we were blessed to encourage them. They were so glad to see us at this ceremony! :)

The most wonderful blessing about 10 young people in different orphanages, asked Jesus Christ to saved them and change their lives!It was so wonderful to see how they did not hesitate and shy of the classmates to become  on their knees before God! How great!

 It was wonderful to meet teachers, who taught me when I got to this orphanage at age 9 years old. And meet my classmate as well. It was sweet time of fellowship. It was such a wonderful opportunity to share about Jesus Christ what he did in my life!

Praying for these sweet kids that God`s seeds planted in their hearts will bring fruit of Spirit some day.Hoping to meet them someday...

We are so grateful to a sweet family, who blessed these precious teens with such a beautiful gifts! We are amazed and humble with goodness and mercy of God, who takes care of our needs. He is always faithful, even when we are not faithful. He is great!!! He is worthy of praise!!! Jesus Christ is only alone alive God!!!
