Will they have a future?-New Project

Each year orphans leave orphanages and each year they face with the same trouble to get an education or find a job and find housing.Each year these kids fear to leave their temporary homes. They do not know what wait them behind of fence and walls of orphanages. They do not know from what to start, where to go, whom to ask. They don't know where to live, go to study.Who will help, who will give advice, who will support?

This year these 2 sweet kids, Kristina and Kolya, graduated orphanage. They faced with a huge challenge in their life, where to go? They can not enroll at to any college or school, because they both studied at orphanage for kids with special needs. As you know, these children are most vulnerable and socially unprotected in Ukraine...Do you remember what a great trouble Masha faced?

But they as many children, dream... dream to get an education. They both dream to be the cook.

When we started to hold Bible lessons at this orphanage and visit kiddies. We had no idea that God had a plan. That BOM will be provided and continue support graduating orphans. :)

We know Kristina and Kolya, since they were small kids. 

Bro. Misha instructed Kolya how to shoot from the bow

They grew

and became beautiful young adults...(Kristina in light blue sweater)Their teacher said that both Kolya and Kristina love to help in the kitchen.

They can enter at an one lyceum- boarding school for the disabled, who agreed to take them. But they should pay for her tuition and living expenses. This is impossible and unrealistic as they leave orphanages with empty hands, only a little their clothes and items BOM provides. The government will not help. All the more today`s war in East of Ukraine... It's necessary $2, 480 for the year for both these young adults. For each $1,240. This blessing will go for their education, life in dormitory and food. They will not receive a stipend as students. 

So, here we are to ask about your help...On behalf of orphaned children we ask you kindly and with humble hearts to help Kristina and Kolya get an education. Our hope is ONLY Jesus that He would provide all necessary funds, if it is His will.They both still do not know or will be able to realize their dream. Because they do not have funds. Will they have a future?..

We know them both for many years. It would be such a blessing for these beautiful young adults, if they have some one, who can help them in their challenge. It would be so wonderful, if they could continue visit our church and continue hear the Gospel, find Christian friends, same, who were in orphanages and whom BOM supports today. Can you help, please?Your little donations, seeds of faith, would be greatly appreciated.

We would SO grateful, if you could share about this need everywhere it is possible.Please.Thank you!

But most of all we ask you about prayers. God would provide all necessary funds, if it is His will.Many thanks to you , friends!

What is doing God

First. We really want to thank everyone, who participated and helped raise funds for our student Olga. To get an education and for her daily needs. With God's help, we were able to raise all nesessary money and even a little more  $1.739. :) All Glory to God! Thank you very much to all for your prayers! This is such a great blessing, prayer support!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you for everything!

 One day in September, when we had very cold days. Every day, poured cold and icy rains. The two girls came to the church in summer shoes. Walking in the cold and rain and at a cold puddles.  Only from the thought of it getting cold . When someone asked. "Are you not cold ?" "No", they replied in the affirmative shivering from the cold... 

    Nadya shared with us.When she went to buy boots for girls because they had not. First they tried to help to Olga's friend, Masha. Nadya did not even have time to help discern, whether they are good for Masha, suitability of size, etc. Sweet girl immediately shod boots on her feet . "Yes , Yes good! It`s suitable for me!" . It was obvious that she poor girl, felt so cold that was ready to wear any shoes, just to keep warm. Right from the shop she is pleased was walking home in new boots. Her face and eyes were shining with happiness. :)

Thanks to your support, the two precious girls do not feel cold at feet any more. Thank you!

Ok.Let me tell you from the beginning about Masha.

On that day, when all the students arrived to school and settled in a dormitory, where our Olga now study. It was and our part also, meet with the teachers to know everything, pay for everything, etc. 

  At that day we were sitting in a dorm room, where our student settled and we talked a little on the Christian subject. In the side, on her bed, the other girl sat quietly and attentively listening the conversation. We quickly got acquainted and continued our conversation. She continued to silently listen and watch us . We noticed that she was alone , without parents. "A Brave girl..." , I thought. "She came to school alone, without parents and help". But she kept sat and listened . 

     

    On that day, we absolutely had no idea that this was just the beginning ...The beginning of what prepared our loving and wonderful Saviour, Lord Jesus. :)

  The next day, when we came to Olga to school to take her to church. Masha came up to us and asked softly, "Can I go with you to church also?" We were surprised and pleased to hear it! "Of course!"  So, she gladly joined with us.

  

     One day, when we met and became acquainted closer. And when I asked, what school she graduated, I was shocked to hear it. "I graduated from orphanage this year and  came to this school." "What? are you serious ?" She smiled sweetly at me. I was not ready to hear this...

"Oh, Lord, I do not know what you are doing... But this is amazing..."  I prayed in my heart....I was shocked that the Lord has brought to us one more, this precious girl, who spent many years in orphanage. One more soul, who may need the support...

Since that day, for the third consecutive month, Masha faithfully attends every ministry of our church. :)

But that's not all. Other boys and girls from the same school come to us for church service. Is not that amazing? Is not that God's providence? Olga came to school not only get an education, but many of the young people were able to hear the word of God, and grieving soul find peace and rest in the Lord.Isn`t it awesome what is doing God? :)

We are so excited for Masha and other young souls, who visit our church services!

Would you please, pray for Masha and for these young souls? Pray for their salvation and their hearts will be open  to Christ?Thanks a lot!

"For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it." 

(Isaiah55:8-11) KJV

Giving future to precious souls

   This beautiful  young soul  this year just graduated an orphanage. Аll her childhood she spent away from the family, not knowing that such parental care and gentle mothering love. Throughout the years Olga was a good student and always did well with liability given to her assignments. She is always happy our arrival and came to Bible lessons or meetings. Olga is loving the Lord Jesus soul. She is a Christian who trusts the Lord that He will take care of her. In the daily prayers, she opens her heart to the Lord, pouring out all her heartaches and worries.

  This year, Olga faced with a huge challenge. Not one college and trade school did not want to take her, because she was in orphanage for children with special needs. Spent a lot of time and days in search of schools, who have agreed to receive this sweet girl. But it was all to no avail ... Imagine, what felt Olga at this point? What she thought?  Not being accepted from childhood she has still suffering from this terrible stain. "You are not like everyone ." 

In fact, Olya is smart girl and sometimes, when we saw her in orphanage. I always thought, what she was doing there? She probably got here by mistake of doctors. That unfortunately is very common. :( 

Honestly, I do not know why Olga came to the orphanage. But she would LOVE to study very much! Her dream is to get an education and to live an independent life. 

   So, finally found a lyceum- boarding school for the disabled, who agreed to take Olya, but on condition that she should pay for her tuition and living expenses. She can study there only under the contract. But where she will take money for education and living expenses? Oh, my! This is an impossible and unrealistic dream for this beautiful soul. Why life of orphaned children is SO heavy??? 

Our goal is to educate this young precious girl and help come true of her huge dream. If we will help her, she will be cook confectioner.

That to get an education and help in basic daily needs it necessary $1700 for the year.  The $675 will go for the Educate Year for Olechka. The $112 will be spent on dormitory in lyceum- boarding , where will live this precious soul.She will not be able to receive a stipend as a student. We therefore commit ourselves  to take her fully for support. $913 Olga will spend on food in the cafeteria in lyceum  (so it will be much cheaper) and other daily needs.

Can we PLEASE, help this beautiful young soul to get education? Can we help come true her dream? Can we show love and care of our sister in Christ through this acting? Can we show together, how great and awesome is our Lord Jesus and how He loves her tenderly, His daughter?

Please, pray God will help to make it possible. August 31th we need to make the first payment for education and dwelling.

If the Lord leads your heart, you can send your precious gift through BOM PayPal  thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Just select option "I'm sending money to family or friends" and leave a note that this gift is for Olya.

The thermometer on the right side(marked by red) of the blog, will show you how much was raised and how much need.

THANK YOU very much for ANY your help big and small blessing to this precious soul!Together, with God`s help,  we can make a BIG difference in life of Olechka! Many, big thanks from bottom of our hearts!May God bless you!!!

                                      ********************************

  Here, also, I'd like to ask you to pray for another precious soul.

When Yaroslava was one year old at birth, she came to the babies house, then another children's home, orphanage, etc. All her life she spent behind the walls of these institutions away from her family. Her parents were drinking and did not care for her younger and older brothers and sisters as well. Some of them have graduated and some are still in orphanages.

 After graduating of an orphanage Yaroslava worked. But on each work, she experienced problems and injustice. Or her salary is not paid partly or not paid the all money earned by her. Each time she had to change jobs in search of better. At the last job, where she worked. About 2 weeks, she could not work because of her illness and had to stay home and spend these days in bed. When she returned to her former job, she was told, you do not work here anymore. Can you imagine her shock?  Thus because of her illness, she lost her job again. With tears and broken heart she came back home... So, today Yaroslava is unemployed. :(

  She suffers . Starves. Can not buy all the necessary clothes/shoes and has daily basic needs. Lost hope...

 But  that's not all. After a few months, this beautiful soul will be homeless... She is very scared.

Yaroslava lives in a dorm, but in few months forced to leave it.She is frustrated and does not know what to do...

  We decided to help Yaroslava get an good education that would find a good job. Honestly, I lost count of how many trade schools, technical schools and colleges, we have went and asked to take her. Not all schools can  accept orphans. In some are limited places. Only 1-3 places. Hmm. But what about the rest of  the hundreds, who want to get a good education?

 Each college or technical school has its own rules and restrictions. Finally we found a technical school, which has agreed to take Yaroslava. We were ready to pay for her education as well. Yaroslava was SO excited and happy! She began to gather all the necessary documents and to pass medical examination etc. It seemed that her joy would never end. :)

But again misfortune . A some time ago, got a call from Kiev to this college and was told it is too late. So this precious soul will not be able to enroll in college again.Again, frustration, tears ...Yaroslava was very upset :(
We cried together and comforted her as could. Our hearts are broken.We felt so helpless...

We have hope that next year, this beautiful girl will go to this technical school again... She is very willing to study there and ready to do everything she can.

  Now we do not know how to help her... Or she have to go work. Will she find a good job that will not deceive her and use her rights, using the fact that she can not defend herself? Or, God has a different plan for her. We do not know ... But our hearts are broken and feeling sad knowing how much she suffers...

 Yaroslava is very nice, sociable and lovely Christian girl. Despite all the hardships in her life. She knows how to be happy and bring joy to the lives of others. She is always happy to help in any request.

 Please, pray God comforted and bring peace in her heart. That she trusted to the Lord with all her heart. He has best plan for her. Pray that the Lord would keep her from evil and did what in His plans. That she would  not stay on the street and provide her basic needs. Thanks a lot for your prayers and support! My love to all!

One more awesome day, with students

One more awesome blessing I would love to share with you!

Just about a month ago we visited students in trade school and asked you to pray for them here that God would give us possibility to have a Bible study with them.

Having our schedule tight and full as always, we had no idea when we can visit them and how often. But we had a burden in our hearts and it overwhelmed us to pray and ask Jesus Christ give us a possibility.

  We knew we will be more busy, it will take more responsibility, time and another things.But we were excited at same time and could not wait to visit them again and share God`s love!

And finally it happened!We had such beautiful time praising Jesus through psalms, playing games and learning the Bible with these young adults. It was simply amazing!

Some workers of the dormitory, where live these children, listened  God`s word too. It is such a blessing!

A wonderful joy was when 2 souls asked Jesus saved them and changed their lives.Praise God!

At the end of the meeting we had drinks and sweets.

They really excited to have it!

This is not all.In the end each of them got a big plastic bag of food. They were amazed and so rejoiced!

Thank you!Thank you very much for all your wonderful donations to these sweet souls!Thanks to your gifts of love, we could have so awesome and lovely meeting, sharing sweets and the food. We plan to continue visit these teenagers as much as the Lord will give us chance. We are so blessed! Many, many thanks for your wonderful love!!!

Dear friends, they need Jesus so much! It is such a great blessing for us, sharing His love with them!Please, remember them in your prayers Jesus heal their souls and hearts.

A little conversation:

-I`m so happy today! an one young guy said, walking together to the van with our director of BOM.

-Why?-asked brother Misha.

-Today is a such wonderful day in my life! We never had such meetings as this one.You came and visited us.You comforted and do not forget us, brought food and God`s word.And that is why I`m happy!

Dima lovely smiling said. :)
