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!..

We appreciate much your love!

Dear sweet and beloved Friends,thank you soooo much for your prayers and encouragements!We appreciate it VERY much!

We would like to let you know, today our dad has gone on the Heaven to His Saviour.

Yes, he asked Jesus to saved Him!We are distress and with broken hearts.We are overwhelmed and crushed.It is so HARD to tell good bye to someone you love...Just tears, pain and broken heart...

But in same time we have peace and calm in our hearts that our dear and beloved father is in the Heaven with Jesus.We still can NOT believe as it happened so fast, just for a few days.He suffered physical VERY much.He was in crisis care centre because of his very bad condition.He had big trouble in his brain, because accident happened with him.It was so HARD to see how he suffered from his a lot of pains in his body.And it is more hard when you understand you can not help him and only beg Jesus to be merciful to him and take away his pains.But God called him to the Heaven.
It is still hard to accept his death.We were shocked to receive this news, as we did not expect it will happen today... But God gives us a peace, because of YOUR prayers.HUGE thank you!

Funeral will be this Thursday.
We would love to thank you for a lot of your prayers and sweet emails, comments and encouragements again.Your blessing e-mails, encouragements etc helps us go ahead and live for Jesus.You are light of Jesus and Church of Christ!

Even in this hard trials of our life we see God`s hand.God has blessed and covered all our needs we needed for medicine our father and now for funeral.Also God blessed us by good doctors and nurses, who cared about him.And we saw God`s love in many little things He has blessed us in this trial.
We would love to hug you ALL that to tell thank you but we are not able.But some day in the Heaven we will do that.

We love you ALL and so THANKFUL to being with us in this hard moments in our life...

P.S.I do not know when I can post again.Because some questions and matters I need to do after this what has happened...We have some good news for you.I will try to post as soon I can.Thank you!We love you ALL!

Joyful moments and worries

Last Saturday we were able to visit this orphanage and had blessing time with kiddies.Each journey is different.We have joyful and happy moments during spending time with darling ones to us.Also we see sad moments, which crush and break our hearts...

But I would love to start with joyful and happy moments we had at this day.

The topic of our lesson was 12 spies when they went to check out promised by God of land.Nadya has told this Bible story and she does it perfect all time. :) Children listened attentively this history.

Children were so MUCH impressed when they saw binoculars!What that? many asked.Some asked:"Is it real?" 

Here when they came to me up and wanted to see.We took binoculars to show children how today people check everything out on border, to catch spies etc.  WOW! Children were impressed by that so much!Especially boys! You know how boys love all these things.:) It was funny!

 

 But what a surprise was when came to the class our two "spies" and they brought huge grape!Children were amazed!
But it was real so funny to see how these two boys were excited much to be these spies.When they were putting on clothes(in corridor), they all time said "how great is that!"
They were excited so much by that  and it was honour for them to act in this history.They looked sooooo funny when they could not control their emotions.:) I LOVE it! I love soooo much to see exciting kiddies! :)

After Bible story when we sang little, we could to play several games.Here Children needed find words about history they listened.They did good job!

                                          They all wanted to find words!

Next game.Children choose numbered "berry" of grape they wanted and gave answer on question.

It was funny some.We used sticky scotch tape which helps to hold our "grape" on big sheet.When children separated berry, our magnets did not hold sheet good.We needed to hold sheet, help children to separate berry because sheet was moving on blackboard.

And in the end we made craft, Spies carrying grape.Children LOVED it!And they exciting all time to make a craft. :)

Next pictures are teens.They were in next class.

 Sasha and Lyuba had wonderful time with them too.They were talking about faithfulness to the Lord, faithfulness between friends, faithfulness in any good acts etc.

We had wonderful  and blessed time with kids!Children were amazed and joyful!We were so blessed at this day!

The next are worries, stress and sadness I have in my heart. I would love to share it with you.Each time we visit these precious kids, each time they let us know they do not eat enough. They get only two pieces of bread for each meal.They can not eat more because not enough food, bread etc.I know director of this orphanage loves children and cares about them.She does everything she can do.But orphanage has not enough money, so they save as much as they can that cover other needs.

My heart broke and crush for them. Last days I can not eat good, I can not sleep, I can not stop to think about them and I can not stop pray for them.I remember all moments when we give them any sweets, food and whatever and how they are happy to recieve it!I`m typing and crying.Crying because it is heavy to see their eyes waiting for you to give something but we are not able...We are not able to help them...It became more heavy when you understand you can not help.The big lump is in my throat and tears running, tears of sorrow and hopelessness.It is very heavy to explain what I feel in my heart...I`m trying do not cry but I can not.Tears do not stop to run...It is very heavy to say all this.

I know what feel this children.I know well how children hidden bread under clothes, in pockets or everywhere they can that bring it to their room.How children eat it that no one see, especially caretaker.If they eat not enough, they took and eat only bread, because they have nothing.Or they begin to steal...If children   malnourished some later they get sickness.If they do not get good medication, they suffer all their life with their sickness.I know what they feel and think because I was in their shoes(when I was in orphanage).My heart is broken and overwhelmed...Our prayer and pleading is to Jesus is to help these poor children...

I think we must do something.We christians should to care about orphans, to be hands of Jesus Christ, because Bible says James1:27. We pray we can help them.We think what if we will bring to them food each our visit or when we will be able.Food what they can take to their room and eat there or whatever they can.There are about 90 children.We need $1 for a child.We ask you please, pray we can help them.
We do want to let you know of our need for funds and we want to give you the opportunity to be a part of the blessing of this ministry.
Will you lift up our pleading to Jesus together with us?Please, will you bless only $1 to feed an orphan?
We would be happy to hear any comment, e-mail or whatever how we can help orphans.Maybe some one has better idea.Thank you!

Thank you so much for your prayers, support and love!Blessings!

Games for orphans in camp

Our wish is to help orphans in camp. Usually children have fun and exciting to being in camp. They come back with new energy, health, found there new friends, have many impressions, etc.

But not in this camp, where we visited orphans. Buildings inside and outside look horrible. In their rooms are only beds and clothes cabinet. You will not see nothing on walls of their room. It reminds little bit a jail.You can see only difference that windows are with curtains which do not have lattice and kids scamper everywhere. Also children undernourished there, no games, no fun, nothing, they bored there.

Because of this reason children run away from this camp to different places.Sometimes to different cities, where police catch them and give back to camp.But some time later children run away again. It happens again and again. That is big problem, because in this time they are street kids, where they can meet many troubles, sickness, they hungry, begin to steal food, clothes, etc.

Children do not want to be in this camp. They do not have their homes where they can stay for a summer. They often say, it is better to be in orphanage than stay in this camp.

We want to bring to them different games, make them busy and sweets and different fruits.We need to raise $280 to the end of this week.Because next week we want to visit them again.
But we are not able to do it without your help.Please, will you help orphans in camp? Will you help to bring to them a blessing and save if little bit? Children have nothing there and it will be big joy to them!

Only 6 days...

We have only 6 days to raise money to help orphanage with paint.
We do not know will God send enough to help orphans. We have only 11%. The administration of orphanage asked us to help.The orphanage is very big and it is heavy to care and give all to kids with  not enough money. Director is upset much, because he does not know where will take finances to care about orphans.The economy is not good in Ukraine now, many orphanages suffer because of it.

We would like to show God`s love and care about orphans.But can not do it without your help. Please, will you help us to help orphanage?
It is will be real blessing and joy to kids and administration of orphanage.And good testimony to show that God is more mighty of any economy of the world.

We cherish any $ and cent. Please, can you help? Please, use chip-in on sidebar of the blog.
If you can not donate and would like to help. A blessing will be for us if you will share with others about this need and pray with us about it.Thank you! May the Lord bless you!
