Oh, how they just precious!

I am completely blown away by a blessed day we had today!!!We just admire what an amazing and good God we serve!!!We glorify and praise Him for his merciful to us and such kindness!

God has blessed and we could to visit today orphans in Children`s Home. I even can not tell you how we all (kids and BOM team) are happy by this visit! I`m so exciting and thrilled to share with you what we did there and many blessings we have! It was something incredible! Wow!

 Do you see these sweet faces who are singing a song?They are cutie ones with whom we spent time today.

Yes, we had puppet show.We sang several songs.It is the scenery of back side of our puppet theatre.But before we had program we had a fun time little bit with kids while we were waiting of other children who were going to this room.

We took one-two puppets and just looked out of theatre often and puppet has hidden her face very fast.Also puppet was laughing and did other acts.Oh, how they laughed!They liked very much puppets!

When all children arrived to the room, we began our program.

This cute boy played Jonah.

When kiddies saw a whale they were amazed! They spoke: "look at this whale!" "Oh, how he is huge!" "Is it big dolphin?""Wowwww!"  They loved whale sooo MUCH!

Children were much impressed to hear cry of sea-gulls and whales when we turned on they could to listen.They listened of history so attentively!

Next was our game, where they answered to questions about Bible story.They liked very much to pass on a whale to next when music was playing.They gave answer to all questions!We admire by them!

 

But there was such funny moment, when we asked them where Jonah was hiding from the Lord?One of kids said, in bushes.We all, children and staff were laughing.Are not they sweet and adorable? :)

After we repeated song we learned before, we played beloved already game by kids.Oh yes, to catch fish by numbered. This way we learned a Bible verse, as you already know :)

Look at this cute little girl how she is happy!

 Do you see how many of them wanted to play? :)

 They were so very much excited and enjoyed to play this game!

We added little a new rule this time.When a child catch a fish, turtle or what we have by numbered, he/she should to show this number on blackboard.This way we could to repeat numbers with them a little.They did perfect job!

And one more of important moments I would love to tell you.Do you know orphans do not have their own toy?What you think they feel when they see a some child has a toy but they has not their own?Just think.

Today these cute kids had rejoicings day! We could to give them not only chocolate candy but a toy!Wow!How they were impressed when they heard that Jesus sent toys to them!!!They were sooo much happy to hear it!What a wonderful news!

They began to make noise because of this joyful information.They were excited because of that! :)

As we spoke about obedience this time we reminded them about Jonah.We asked them: "Did Jonah obey God?" They answered, "No!" "Ok.What do you think, does God want you to obey him?" "Yes!!!" they all cried together. Just in moment they were sitting quietly!  It was such sweet and wonderful moment when they obeyed so fast! They are so amazing and adorable kiddies! :) I just want to hug all of them and tell how we love them!
They are such incredible creation of God and such adorable!And they are so pure and naif as lambs!

And he came up to bro.Misha and did sit down on his hands.Aww!Misha said he was surprised and it melted his heart.It was such sweet moment! :)

Visit of God`s treasures

It is such a joy for me to share with you all amazing God`s blessing we have! We could see and spent such wonderful time with God`s treasures whom we could to visit last week!They are such amazing creation who are needy love and care!Thank you so much for your prayers!We had such wonderful and amazing time with boys of special needs in mental institution!There boys who has Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, mental deficiency and different mental disability.We had such excellent and  fabulous time with them!Boys were soooo happy spending time with them!

In the beginning when we arrived there, we have presented diapers to orphanage.God has blessed and we could to bless orphanage a little bit.These diapers are enough only for 2 weeks.We would be so happy if someone will donate that we can buy more diapers to boys, because there is very big need with it.They need big and small sizes.Or probably someone can send diapers to boys.We spent $50 for these diapers.We would be very happy to help them!
Also administration of institution asked us to help with chemical things.It can be be washing powder, shampoo,soap, gloves what protect hands from chemical sore, things what to help to wash well floor, dishes, etc.
Please, can someone to help with these things?Thank you!

Also they asked us to help with food.There is BIG needs with all these things!

 Before spending time with boys, we gave candies and bananas to boys small and older who can not be with us at this time.And after that we could to be with other boys.

 In the beginning we were with older boys.Small ones were taking shower at this time.And it was perfect time for us!While smallest were busy we could to be with older boys.

 It was such blessing when they were sitting so quietly!We were amazed and praised God!

This nice boy helped us to tell a Bible story to children.He is so smart and very kind!

We learned with them a new song.They did gestures very well.Boys love so much guitar!They really enjoy to hear it and they show by their hands how they "play" on guitar.It is so nice and sweet!

After that we could to play, catch our fish.Dear friends you should to see their shining eyes how they were happy to play this game!!!How they smiled and laughed! Really, they were sooo MUCH impressed!We even did not expect this simple game will bring so much positive and active emotions!Wow! We were so much impressed to see them so happy!

Lokk at him!Is not he sweet?

And in the end we gave to them candies and bananas.We are sooo thankful to the Lord, He has blessed and we could to bring these sweets to them.Thank you Jesus!

Next meeting was with smallest ones.Oh, how they so sweet!It is such blessing to be with them!We had perfect time with small kids too!I would love to hug all of them and give my love to each one!They are so thirsty fellowship with folks!!! When they saw us, they were so happy!And we were happy not smaller than they. :)

 It was so funny when we heard how older wanted to be with us, when we were with small ones at this time.They wanted to be with us again and again and again! Is`nt wonderful?

Boys  applauded when puppets sang. :)

And they listened of Bible story so attentive! It was such blessing!

 

 Look at these next several pictures.There how boys are hungry of touching, hugs, holding their hands.While boys listened story, others just wanted to receive a love by holding their hands or just hug them.It is so sweet and heartbreaking in same time to know boys do not receive hugs, love and attention.Caretakers do not hug them, do not play, do not give to them attention.And they can not do it, they only do their work...But these boys are precious God`s treasures.

 God gave them life and we should to love them and give our attention as much as we can.They are creation of God about whom we must to care and pray.God so loved the world, that He gave his only beggoten Son.God teaches us His amazing, wonderful and sacrificial love.

 Some boys asked us stroke their heads.Oh, how they need attention and so little that to feel beloved...

And we played with small children too.Oh, they were excited not smaller than older boys!They loved soooo much to catch fish!They all got so many positive emotions! It was such wonderful time!!!

Look at this sweet boy.Isn`t he happy?

Look at Oleg how he is happy!He is so smart boy!We are sure he mustn`t be there, at this orphanage!He speaks and understands everything very well!

Sergey so sweet, quiet, clever and so kind boy!It is so heartbreaking to see his disabled hand.But he is very talented to do something by his hands!

Oh, yes!Many of them did not know how need to hold fishrod, they needed our help.Some of them needed to keep, as they wanted to turn over all water.It was very heavy to hold them.That is not surprise because they are hidden there from people and do not know how need to behave...

 And several of boys we needed to hold because Misha our head could not play on guitar.I took boy`s hands and sang with him with gestures, make him busy.And it helped, praised the Lord!

But some boys just wanted you held his hands and sang together with him.Is not a blessing?Look at boy who is singing with Nadya together.It is so and so sweet!!!

In the end we gave to these children, bananas and candies too.

Also we could to visit kids who are heavy most of all.Most of them are here on their bed all day long, doing nothing.They get fresh air only at nice and warm weather, most on summer time.But when it is cold, they do not go outside.Can you imagine their life?Lying in beds all day long, nothing to do, do not breath fresh air, nobody visit, nobody hug you and tell warm words,only hear yelling at them? That is more than terrible!!!

But there are few boys whom we could to take them and spend time.We had puppet show here and game.

Did kids were happy?Absolutely!!!

We had very nice time with them too.With several boys we could to play, holding them on our arms, hug, gave our attention and everything we could give them.So, sorry we do not have pictures.Because it is very heavy to make picture when you are playing with them.:) But we were such blessed to be with them!And they were exciting our time too!

When we told them goodbye, they asked us will you come back, will you come again?When you come?Ah, it is so heavy to hear it!!!We will  miss them so much and it breaks our hearts...

Also we could see and find out sadness moments what is heartbreaking and hurting.It is so and so sad...

Do you see this sweet boy?His name is Misha.This picture was taken 5-6 years ago.He was such kind boy, all time wanted we hug him. Not one time he flew to our director Misha that he hug him and cried all time: "Misha!Misha!" He wanted so much to receive a love and gave his love to us too.

Now he so looks

last times we noticed he changed much, he began to be not actively as before, he flew to us not often as before, he is sitting on bench so quietly. We asked ourselves often something happened.Why his behaviour changed? What is with him?
It seems that he began to undergo degradation.At this time we asked a caretaker about him.It was shock for us to hear that.Now I`m typing and my eyes are wet.It is so heavy and heartbreaking.This sweet boy lost his eyesight ...and he does not see any more.And we understood why his behaviour changed.It is so sad.I even can not imagine how is horrible his life!!! It was awful before but after he became blind it is more worst!Oh, no...

We ask you please pray for these sweet boys!Pray God care in His arms, they feel love.Pray for their health and their needs.We pray and plead God to help these poor boys, to have better health.Please, God help them!..

Unusual day...

  I`m just exciting to share with you what a blessed day we had last Thursday!I`m so sorry I did not tell about this special day earlier.I was going to post about it every day.But I was much busy.So, finally I can do that and have so many to tell you!

Last Thursday we were able to visit mental institution for girls with several volunteers(former orphans).They are blessing from the Lord! The day was such sunny and beautiful!

So many things has happened during this day.I would love to tell you about all of them.
We had blessings, such happy moments and sorrows and heartaches too. :`(

  In the beginning when we arrived to the mental institution, administration has found they forgot to let us know that girls take shower at this day and it will be heavy for us and probably we will not see all kids.But it was God`s plan!Everything was perfectly well! Until smaller children were taking shower we could to be with older girls.When smaller ones have finished, they came to the place where we had program and we could to be with them too.Everything was perfect and amazing!

Do you know orphans take a shower ones for a week?
Do you know that in one shower room can be about 20 naked girls take shower in one time?

Do you know that caretakers wash them very fast as there are many girls?And they do not play with small children with water because have not time for it.

It is not only in mental institution but in every orphanage.
Do you know that children in mental institution do not brush teeth, that is why they go bad and children lose their teeth. And as result they have problems with stomach and many others.

Do you know orphans have not personal shampoo, soap, toothpaste etc?

At this day we sang a song, has told a very simple Bible story about Daniel in lion den, played games, had puppet show.We had amazing time with children!

Children were excited so much by everything!They loved puppet show, song and enjoyed to play a game so much! There was loud applause for the us. We even did not expect they will be so happy!
I even can not tell you how they were glad, how they excited, how they had run to us that will hug and kiss!WOW!It was amazing time! We were so glad to see them smiling and rejoicing by everything!

Oh, my goodness!There were so many emotions!

                                                       The older group of girls.

                                                             The puppet show

Next pictures are smaller group of kids.

Before the Bible history we told them a little bit about lion and showed a toy lion.It brought a lot of emotions!

We took 2 girls who played acting the king and Daniel.Nadya has told this history.To one of girls we showed how need to bend on knees in prayer (when Daniel has prayed).

She did it perfect!Both girls did excellent job during history!They were so enjoying by doing it!

Here how they were excited of Bible history.Also a blessing was for us that over 8-10 caretakers could to be with us. And do you know what?They were excited also!It was a big privilege and blessing for us to tell them about God.The head Misha preached to them a little bit. After program  they came to us and thanked for everything.It was so sweet!WOW! What an amazing God we serve!

We sing a song with kids. Are not they adorable?

                                                                   The game

Here we gave to them a little stickers. WOW! How they were glad to get it!They were so much interested to see it on their hand.It was fun much to observe on them.

But some girls did not react. :( It seems they did not understand what we did.But we hope they were glad of our time with them.

We gave to children the marshmallow.

They love sweets!

This girl is blind.I even can not imagine what she come through.Oh, poor girl how she suffers and is desperate.It is just makes to break and crush my heart...

Hugs, sweet hugs saying goodbye.

After that we went to the heaviest children that to visit and spend time with them too.

We sang songs using guitar too, had puppet show and have played with them a LOT.We had amazing time with kids!They were so glad to play!

A little one check puppet out.

Director Misha was playing with girls by puppet.They loved it so much!

This little girl is more skinny than from last time, only bones.We are just afraid how long she will be alive, how long she will be suffer...

A short video of our time with children.

It was so hard to leave all these precious kids there.Yes, we had beautiful and amazing time!We just amazed how the Lord has blessed our time!But in same time with heavy hearts we left this place.We left them with their loneliness, hurt, sufferings and tears...

When we finished everything we wanted to do there, we visited a girl at hospital from this same mental institution.

                                                The view of hospital outside

Inside

Oh, how she was happy to see us and so many visitors for one time!:) No one has visited her during several weeks until she was there.So, you can imagine how she was happy.

We bought some fruits and gave to her.She was so glad to receive it!

This is one side of observation ward where stayed this sweet girl.There is 7 patients of different ages in this room.

The second side of this room.

She will be 18 years old soon.We hope to bring a present for her a next time.

The next what I`m sharing with you is so sad...

It is usual ukrainian cemetery.The size of grave says about age of a person who died.If big grave, it means adult, if a small one, a child.

Every cemetry has a cross like this one.Or you can see it in the beginning almost of every village.

It seems the new -made grave, because there are a lot of flowers.

This is unusual part of cemetry.Because it is cemetry of mental institution for girls...

And workers of orphanage are making the new grave for a little girl...Yes, in this same day when we arrived to the mental institution the sweet girl "P" has died. :`(

  She had cerebral palsy and big trouble with kidneys.Because of this sickness, came some other sickness with lungs.A poor little girl 10 years old  suffered 8 years with her bad kidneys. The mental institution could do nothing to help her during these 8 years!Because had not finances...At this time she was at hospital.Doctors has done everything they could to help this girl but nothing helped...

Workers of orphanage has told us she had dying kidneys.It is so and so sad.The tears has run down on our faces.We whole team were shocked and upset much to hear it.We know this girl, she was just a sweet and very smart!Oh, it make break and crush my heart...We are upset and sorry about her.It is so heartbreaking to know it when you lost someone, whom you know and love.We believe she is in the heaven with Jesus and does not suffer any more.

Please, pray for these adorable and precious children!Please, pray we can help them!Please, pray we will be able visit them oftener...
