This all is VERY scary, hurts, disheartening, makes me sick to my stomach!!! We tearfully are yelling and plead God to stop this all and give peace!!!! As Christians we are not involved in this and do not wish.Yes, we should fight! But believers should fight on knees!!! Bible says: 

 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]."  (Ephesians6:12)

PLEASE, pray with us for PEASE in Ukraine!!!  God save Ukraine!!!

Bad news. Prayers for precious pregnant mommies!

I have bad news for you dear Friends.

Recently, I told you that Kolya and Zhenya are expecting their second baby. But we learned that our sweet mommy may lose this precious babe... Please, pray for the health of our young mom and her little treasure. That this sweet family might rejoice, when the little one will born.

And more bad news and prayer request.

Our dearest Olga very poorly tolerates pregnancy.She has a very bad anemia. Olga suffer from this since her childhood. Never been treating her health in orphanage.Does anyone pay attention to this minor illness?

I was not paying attention as well... Until the doctor Olga said that it is very bad. This not only affects the development of the child and mother. But also in the birth process. The doctor said that there may be bad consequences with the child or the mother.  Or Olga simply  may not  survive during childbirth...

Here what I have found on Internet:

Severe or untreated iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy can increase your risk of having:

• A preterm or low-birth-weight baby 
• A blood transfusion (if you lose a significant amount of blood during delivery)

Doctors said they would do a blood transfusion for Olga, if the hemoglobin does not increase in the near future.

• Postpartum depression
• A baby with anemia
• A child with developmental delays

What I have found HERE

Iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of preterm deliveryand low birth weight. It's also associated with a higher risk of stillbirth or newborn death, so it's something to take seriously.

We help our young mommy with iron rich foods but it does not help... And I am not very happy that Olechka has a bad appetite. Probably because of anemia?

Sasha is not happy doctor of Olga. He not once complained that he saw not a good attitude to his wife. Once a doctor appointed injections to increase iron in the blood Olga. When husband bought it, he read the instruction, he learned that these injections are contraindicated for pregnant women at all!It COULD KILL their baby!!!! Oh, my. Why are doctors so irresponsible??? But we trust them our life! So scary. Ooh!

Sasha complained chief medical clinic, explaining the situation. Chief doctor said that will deal with their doctor . And advised to continue to go for a visit, but do not buy medicine, those that she attributes, and to go to another doctor ( to whom she said ), and to consult with him.

Wouldn't it be better to change the doctor at all?I really do not know or they can do it.One of these days, Sasha is going to go to the clinic to resolve this issue.

In any case. PLEASE, pray for lovely mother, for her health and their baby. If earlier she was not afraid to give birth. Today she is very scared. Sasha also worry and is afraid of losing his dearest and beloved wife and unborn sweet boy. Pray they trust more to the Lord and for peace in their hearts.Thanks a lot!!

Quite a stressful week.

We have some troubles and this week is quite stressful for us. I feel very upset and disappointed. Some moments absolutely breaks my heart.My eyes do not dry from the tears. Several days already my hearts hurts... I very hope it is not because all these troubles. Would you pray, please? Pray God protected us from evil, pray for wisdom and strength,  do Lord`s will and see His guidance and good health for us. We really need your prayer support  these days.Thank you very much!

P.S. I have several updates for you and would like to share . I am going to do it every day. But...it is hard. I will do it as soon as possible. When I will feel physically better. Thank you for all your love!

Terrible suffering and then be surprisingly blessed

I am sooooo thrilled to tell you amazing news and blessing!!!It seems that my heart now will jump out for joy and excitement. :)

But first. It is a heartbreaking and terrible story. :(

It is only a little part of an orphaned girl, who had so many troubles in the last few weeks. It is just a few things what happens with orphans after they leave orphanages.I will tell you a little what are the difficulties and trials meet face to face these lonely and defenseless children.It will be heartbreaking story with happy end.

Well. I will start from the beginning.
Do you remember that several months ago we asked you to pray for a one precious soul, Yaroslava?Do you remember that we did not know what to do and how to help her?All we could, it is pray for her...

Very soon, director of the dormitory where she lived , began to tell pressuring on her every day . That Yaroslava would enroll in some trade school. If she will not go to this school , director would kicked out this poor girl on the street. Of course Yaroslava was very scared and under pressure , with tears and fear she went there to study. But the worst thing is that she feels embarrassed there, because it's school only for boys. She is only an one girl of 22 boys of her group . At this school, where about 130 guys are only 2 or 3 girls . 

How do you think she feels like there ? Take classes, where you do not want , where you feel uncomfortable and pressure. Is it fair to acquire profession boys what do not need for a girl, only because not to be on the street?

Director of dorm promised that this sweetheart could live there for another year. Then, each day she changed her mind. That Yaroslava will be able to live just before the New Year. Then, just before December of this year. Then, she said different. And it was every day! One day, she said. You go to that trade school, then you must live in the dormitory of the school. 

Trust me. We saw this dorm. It seems worse than ever seen before! Windows and doors are beaten. Locks broken out. Torn mattresses on the beds, the beds are broken. Horrible spectacle. Moreover guys often fight with knives. Police there is often a guest. 

And the director wanted that this precious girl lived in a dorm for boys? This poor girl, in tears,  every day called me pouring out the pain of her soul....

Oh, my!It is so heavy seeing poor orphan in tears and feeling myself so helpless! All we could. It is give comfort her and pray trusting to the Lord.

Then in a one or two weeks again а trouble... 

Administrator of dormitory was cleaning all sorts of unnecessary things from one of the rooms, where there was a storage room.In that storage, all children(of the dorm) could to store their winter and various other things. 

Some winter clothes what belong to children orphans, including things of Yaroslava the lady threw to garbage on the street. It was the only one Yaroslava`s winter jacket, boots, and a few other clothes! Can you imagine the shock of these children??? What did they feel? Who would wipe their tears? 

With only a few things that belong to them, someone without their permission dispose of them. Throws in the trash, depriving the only one things.It seems that these "graduated" children still live in orphanage... 

When Yaroslava complained to the director of the dorm about this trouble. The director replied coldly to her. "That's your problem, deal with them yourself." And that's it.... :(

When children start to complain about the workers of  dormitory, they name-calling them rude and demeaning words. Humiliate them. There is no understanding, etc. 

Yaroslava not once complained about workers and crying about which humiliating and rude words they called them. The administration does not believe the words of children thinking them liars. Or may not want to believe because it is beneficial to them? 

Then this sweetheart was sick 3 weeks. She is now much better and she feels good. Glory to God! But another problem again...

One teacher from the school, where the study Yaroslava came and began to complain to the director dorm that Yaroslava shirk school.If she will not come to class , she was turned out of school ?What?

The director knew at the time that BOM supports Yaroslava . We bought her food and medicine . She called us and started to complain. We are quite well aware of this girl and we knew that she could not cheat. After listening to the director we have explained , giving her to understand that we believe more to Yaroslava, and no one to another, who was involved in this situation, we have never had any problems with her and that she really is sick. This woman unexpected that we will stand up for this poor orphan . She paused for a moment. Apparently not knowing what to say. After a moment, she said , "well I 'll decide problem myself" . But we knew well, who was right and that she will no longer offend this poor girl .

But the story is not over...

When Yaroslava felt a little better , the director has again started to put pressure on her. If she does not go to school, she would kick her out of the dorm . If I was a mother, I would not let my child in this state to go to class. But sometimes we are helpless ... 

At this time in Ukraine was terrible cold. Usually this weather is in late October or early November . But not in the middle of September! Many houses , schools , kindergartens , hospitals, etc. not heated . And many people have became ill . We were worried that Yaroslava not feeling still well, went to school, get sick even worse. But by the grace of God and the prayers of many , she feels good.

At this time , all students received stipend . When her turn came, Yaroslava  was refused . Explaining that she  shirked all the classes at school . When she started to explain that brought sickness certificate from doctor that she was really sick. She still was refused.

Poor girl again in tears, came pouring out of her heart . She had hoped that this money will be able to buy something to get dressed and put on shoes . After all her belongings thrown out , as I mentioned above. This is terrible! How it can be ?Where is the justice? This is a crime!

"Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: For their redeemer [is] mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee". (Proverbs 23:10-11)KJV

This is her field and money belongs to her!

We realized that the head teacher of the school, is up to something and is not going to give money. This precious soul every day reminded him of stipend. We decided to pray and ask God to intercede and intervene on behalf of this poor orphan. If in the next week, nothing happens. We thought to go and ask him. Why did he illegally holds the money of that student girl? And that Yaroslava went and wrote a statement about head teacher at the prosecutor's office that she would have given her money. 

The head teacher became even more angry and was not going to give this poor girl owned her stipend finding all kinds of excuses. At the last meeting, he threw her out of the office and having called humiliating her.

And do you know what? We did not have long to wait! Very soon, this man went unexpectedly somewhere. No one could understand why he just "left" his job without a reason. Later, everyone knew that he was caught in a very bad case and was disgraced for all the school. 

"A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold". 

I do not want to say what. It is very bad. But not because of the money. He was deprived of his actions because a criminal one. Now director of this school is looking for another head teacher or vice-principal. Woman, who temporarily replaces him, and found out the problem Yaroslava promised that next month she will receive a stipend for two months. 

We were VERY surprised that God has answered our prayers and so quickly resolved the issue. Wow!It is amazing!

 "Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:  For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them". (Proverbs22:22-23)

All this happened during little more than month...:( This sweet girl has undergone so much misery and hardship and shed so many bitter tears ... It's all horrible and heartbreaking ...

But God loves this precious and lovely girl! You will not believe, but Heavenly Father sent her housing!

A one beautiful and lovely family decided to support this beautiful young girl. God connected  their hearts by an invisible thread of love. :) They sent her huge amount of blessing, which is enough to rent an apartment for a year! Also they blessed her with new shoes, winter boots, autumn/spring jacket and other things! It is more then amazing!WOW!

When we were looking for housing for family of Zhenya. At the same time, we looked for apartment for Yaroslava. It was not easy. We had some difficulties. But God is SO good as always! :)

We decided to make her a small and pleasant surprise showing how God loves and cares about her. We bought flowers and balloons. And left a little message on the card.

When we were walking to the apartment, she absolutely had NO idea what is waiting for her! :)

There was a note which had a text:
Dear Yaroslava!
God loves you! He heard your heartfelt prayers and sent you this rented apartment.
Since this day you can not worry about where you will live next months.
Only live, be happy and thank your Heavenly Father, who always takes care of his children, especially orphans who love Him. :)

 With Love in Jesus: BOM and M. family <3

She was blown away!

                                                  She is such a treasure!

This lovely girl was AMAZED!And all time said," I am in shock. I can not believe! I can not believe!" :)

                                                     We love her so much!

This sweetheart said that she is even MORE then happy and hugged everyone :)

Then she began to learn her home.

Also she was surprised that there is piano. Honestly, we were surprised too. :) We know that Yaroslava dreams to learn play on piano. When she saw it, she start to play immediatly!She was SO excited!

We pray God will make it possible that her dream come true some day. It will costs her $50.00 per month. Maybe someone is interested to help this precious girl her dream come true? :) It is not late yet to get in music school. We do not wish she study at trade school for boys, where she is now and very soon she will leave it. If God gives you a wish, please email us bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks!

This is not all! Yaroslava will not live alone. There is enough place for several girls! So, we plan to settle someone there.How is AWESOME this blessing?! :)

I am just AMAZED how God organized everything and did everything in time!

You will not believe it , but we know this treasure only 3 months! When we found out that she will have no place to live after a few months , we began to pray that God would be given her shelter. At that point, we had NO idea that we will support her, and that the BOM will take part in it. We invited her to our church , and since then , she faithfully attends every service . As it is very easy to talk with her , so we became friends with her very quickly. Then more we learned what she had suffered as a child in the orphanage and now. The more it broke in pieces and humbled our hearts ... 

After a few weeks Yaroslava will have to leave the dorm. Just a few days ago, she was very worried and prayed.  She just had no where to go! But God sent housing in time and she is very happy! Praise Him for that!!! God is awesome and amazing!!!!!!  :)

"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow". (Isaiah1:17) KJV

What is with Zhenya`s family

The first, we would like to thank you all for prayers for this poor, Zhenya`s family.

The second, PLEASE, keep praying!

Finally, I can tell you some news that we have for today.

Since that time, as happened this grief and trouble at this young family, we visited them a few times to do something about this issue. But it was hard, because precious little baby Victor was sick and his mother was with him at the hospital. Husband Zhenya works till 8.00 pm, and he is unable to decide something. Finally a sweet baby is feeling better by God's grace, and he is at home.

The family still lives in the house that this poor girl bought. But every night they are going to bed and DO NOT know, whether they will spend the next night in this house. Of course, they are frightened and feeling discouraging. You can imagine what they feeling...

We spoke with several local authorities. Here's what we found out. First . The police is doing their job in concerning aunt of Zhenya . I do not know how this will end , and whether she will be in jail. But her aunt is famous by not a good reputation in the town. 

 The second. We have asked some questions and asked for help . Since Zhenya is the orphan and has a newborn baby. She also acquired the government house , which generally can not be sold . There are certain laws in our country. That is a BIG trouble even for government staff! There so many details. That not to confuse you , because the laws of our country and the laws of other countries can be different . After talking with the local authorities, we realized that the best option for this family, to move from there  in search of a new home. Now we are working on it. This may take some time. One kind person blessed $500  this poor family. Glory to God !!! That will be enough for a few months to rent a home for them!

PLEASE, we ask you heartly continue to pray fervently and unceasingly for this affected family. Pray that we were able to find an  inexpensive and good house/apartment as soon as possible . Also, for  a  new work for Kolya , as he forced leave this one, in connection with the move.Thank you VERY MUCH!

If Heavenly Father moves your heart to help this family. Donations can be made through PayPal BOM thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Thanks a lot!May God bless you!

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!

Need a miracle!

We need a miracle Friends!This is URGENT prayer request!!!

Right now the Watkins family, are stuck in country with their both newly adopted children Masha and Charity. They can not get home until the children's passports are printed and delivered. They are running out of money and the plane tickets are going up it price. They need approx $2000.00 if they do not print passports next week. They cannot afford to stay in Kiev anymore but cannot leave. 

There are some more families with their adopted kiddies are stuck here in this predicament, with same issue. All these families are running out of funds. We have a trouble with printed passports in Ukraine for several weeks already.This is something that could not have been forseen...It is terrible!

Could you please pray that this situation is cleared up ASAP? Pray for passports to get complete at beginning of the week so they can return home? Pray for this family, they can be in time for Lindsay`s wedding on July 27th, who is now in Ukraine, with her newly precious sisters. 

We were wondering... If any of you would love to be a blessing to this sweet family? That they will know they are loved by God`s outpouring of love. Watkins family sponsorship page is  HERE with a tax deductible donation.THANK YOU so much!Every, even a small gift of love is so big blessing to them and encouragement!

Also please, pray for other families with their children, who are in same issue with passports.I even can not imagine what go through all these families. They did so much that to rescue all these kiddies, devoted their hearts to give them a bright future.And now for a some reason they have to suffer and go through all these troubles...My heart is aching.If I could to do something, to help these precious families...

Awesome blessing and congratulations!

We are so excited and so amazed!God`s mercy and love is so great and so astonishing!

Almost the half year ago we asked you  pray for brother Misha trouble he had.Many of you know but some no.It could affect our local church and orphan`s ministry very seriously for many long years.It is even impossible to imagine what would happen...

Brother Misha COULD BE deported from Ukraine to Russia for many years!!!Because he wasn't the citizen of Ukraine and his passport wasn't registered in special services. I know. All this sounds strange. We ourselves still can not understand how it happened. But imagine his shock. When pastor arrived to Ukraine many years ago, a bit later he made the Ukrainian passport and nationality. And about 15 or 16 years later he casually learns that his passport isn't registered in general and Misha isn't the citizen of Ukraine. In such cases is only deportation!  

Thoughts were confused, he couldn't understand how all this occurred. Why? How it can be? After all, everything was made lawfully! Imagine what huge there was his shock. What would you do? 

When brother Misha rushed to resolve this issue, learned that all people died, which were somehow connected with it and made this problem. Also there is no one witness at all and though any way to solve it fast. It was necessary to do everything at first. Huge money was necessary. In total that we could, it only to beg a face of Lord, to be merciful, protect and to help to solve this problem. Brother Misha, both all our Church and BOM are sure that he is chosen God`s servant, has to be here and continue ministry, instead of deportation.God sent him here!

So months later...

•  Today the director of mission, officially is ukrainian, living more than 15 years in Ukraine illegal. Whether ridiculously it sounds? Hmm.What nationality he was these all years? :)
• He has the registered passport, using it many years illegally, even without suspecting about it, not that without knowing. 
• It happened much faster than he expected.Usually it takes about 2 years to solve this issue.
• Many people even didn't want to hear about it. As passed many years. But our Savior sent those people, who agreed to help and make what was in their forces.
• Brother Misha says that it was very much and very hard and it is almost impossible. But our God is mighty!Is there something an impossible for the Lord? "Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27) KJV 
• Moreover,  Jesus gave the chance to him to make and the foreign passport. Our Heavenly Father told him it to make, opened a door and everything made possible.Amazing!

Wondering, how he could go to Russia all these years?..

We believe it happened because of so and so many prayers.Look what many prayers can do!Where human law is impossible, God`s law and His hand is powerful!

Our Director of BOM, brother Misha is VERY grateful for your prayers and support you showed to him during these months.He is very thankful for your wonderful gifts of love have been sent, what helped to make it happen.We join to his thankfulness and praise God for his amazing  blessings from above.We thank God for His protecting under His loving wings.

Praise God!Praise God!Praise God!It is AWESOME blessing for all of us!THANK YOU so much, dear friends!

                                          Congratulations to brother Misha!!!

Good news

Thank you!Thank so very much for all your prayers!God always is so good!Isn`t He?

A little bit, on slightly thing move ahead. Brother Misha says that everything is very difficult. But the favor and God`s grace is more than all obstacles and problems. 

Bro.Misha could make the important document what further to solve his big trouble. It didn't happen and didn't occur, what could happen bad that would harm to orphans ministry, private life of our pastor and local church. The God's hand is strong to destroy all obstacles and leads quietly and peaceful, through all windstorm and storm. Thank God for all his mercy and grace!Thank God that we can take cover and feel protected under his loving wing.

To brother Misha was told that probably his problem can be solved in 2-3 probably 4 weeks.It would be real, real miracle!Because usually it takes 2 years to solve the trouble like this one!Our pastor works to solve these troubles already during several months.

 We would be so grateful, if you could please, pray together with us further, for God's favor, for the help and protection. That anything bad wouldn't occur and didn't damage to BOM ministry, while this problem not to be solved.That it really would happen and for these weeks this issue was resolved.

Thank you so very much!!!!Many thanks for all your support and love. We are so blessed to have you!God bless you!

Little news

Today the important meeting took place. But it didn't help to solve a problem to brother Misha. Tomorrow again a meeting, only it will be in another place and with other people. Please continue to pray that the Lord removed these mountains!Thank you so very much!!!

A little update and the urgent prayer request

Thank you very much for all your prayers and concern about everyone in BOM and all our children, as we call them. :)

Brother Misha does not have bronchitis also, thanks to your prayers and mercy of the Lord Jesus.But he is in VERY BIG trouble right now!We ask you heartily and diligently to pray for him, please.It may affect our local church and orphan`s ministry VERY seriously and for many, many years.As our blog read in different countries I can not say details, as it can bring troubles to private life of brother Misha.Please, pray God help brother Misha, protect him and send necessary means that to solve this trouble.It may takes several months or even the year.Thank you very much for all your love, support, prayers and care!God bless you!!!

Our dream can come true some day

This blog post is post of great prayer request and faith.This post about worries and troubles.But most important, this post of thinking, many prayers, dreams, joy, peace, seeking of God`s will and much more.I would like to tell you something great and I would love to open my heart before you, beloved our friends.

 I never will forget this awful night. Here I couldn't tell anything to you precisely, as I only received shocking call and it was necessary to go urgently there, on a scene. I could only ask you strongly to pray. It is so wonderful to know and see, how many wonderful brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ prayed for our family.

When we arrived on the scene, I cried, heart was squeezed, I could hardly believe my own eyes, there was a shock and horror, I begged the Lord to stop it... I could not believe that the house burns. I cried and prayed... I couldn't understand why these awful things occur in our family. About 3 months to this awful case, our father died. It was huge shock as he died for few days, doctors fought for his life, but couldn't make it. It was awfully sick and is heartbreaking. I couldn't believe that father died in the face of and instantaneous.I still  often cry, I miss him...Sadly.., we didn't live with him together as one family..,in one home... but I and my sister Oksana, we love him with all our hearts. The single consolation and a joy from the Lord, that he is now with the Lord in Heaven, is consoled and doesn't know grief and diseases and stays with Jesus forever.I wait a day when we will meet him in Heaven again.

 Honestly, I even didn't think that feelings returned again. I write and tears are in eyes, the lump stay in throat.

At that time, when the house of mother burned down, I couldn't understand why the Lord allowed it.I understood that for any purpose... but it was so heavy to understand all this. But for what?The house isn't subject to restoration and to live there not possibly. Residuals of the house suit to demolish it only...

But as Bible says:"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."(Romans 8:28)KJV

Yes! It`s the TRUTH!!! "all things work together for good"! This verse helped me to endure many difficulties in my life. When it was heavy for me, I always returned and said to myself, you shall trust the Lord, all things work together for good, the Lord owes to make something wonderful. And it helped! The Lord made so MANY great and surprising miracles in my life!!!I`m in awe!Our Lord Jesus is SO good and so AWESOME!!!


The house burned down, but near the house there is a part of the land.Do you know that our mother gives this land to us?! It means that we can do there what we want. It means that we can build there the house for street children, for those who has no place to live after an orphanage graduation. It means that our dream can come true a some day! Wow!!!

Yes, this our desire and our burden. We prayed for it many years and decided to forget about it and even crossed out on our blog. Our desire was to create a home to save souls of these teenagers from awful life after the orphanage graduation. That to save them from this, from this and from much more. It seemed unrealizable dream. Honestly, I even stopped praying about it... Until the Lord didn't suppose to me on heart to give this property to Him. This part of the land already belongs to Him. In my heart and a special prayer before Him, I gave to the Lord Jesus, that God realized and created there what He wants what is in His plans and the purposes. I am so glad and excited! Yes, it seems crazy idea without having enough support even for orphanages. Yes, it seems impossible for us, but not for the Lord. Our God is rich and strong, all-powerful and good! We don't know how many will pass months and years while it becomes reality, but we trust.I believe with ALL my heart, excited and have peace in heart!

Yes, it`s huge work, a huge paper work, huge finances, many worries and headaches.But we are excited!It`s little by little, little by little, with God`s help, we would do it.We can build the house there for 10-15 or even 20 children!It would awesome blessing to give roof for those who do not have.It would be such great blessing to give a loving home, protection and care, who are needy.

I will tell to you my small secret. When I became a Christian, for years later I always dreamed and wanted, that on this ground that to make for the Lord. :) At that time I thought, it could be the Christian camp or something another. I didn't know, what exactly, I only had desire. But couldn't make it because it didn't belong to me. Now, it is already real, we know what we want, we have an image and we could make it with the God's help.

But I can't precisely tell, that it is wanted by the Lord. In total that I have and I know. The Lord speaks in His Word Bible, cares of orphans and to provide them a house or roof, wherever possible. I have huge desire to create this house. I don't know when and how it will be, but I have the perfect peace and calm, concerning this question. And I have vision, joy and excited.We see that God shows in our ministry that we should do something for these children, as they often need a help. Please pray together with us, that the Lord opened and showed, whether it is exact in His will. We need to know precisely His will. Because His will is good, acceptable and perfect.

 After orphanage graduation I had many problems besides that I often was undernourished and had no necessary clothes. Thanks to Church and Christians, I rose on feet. Friends, I don`t know, where I would be today and how  lived, if Christians didn't help me with my needs. I`m sure, my life, would be simply a nightmare. I often think about it. And I thank God for those people who helped me in due time. Now this is my desire and BOM dream to help those teenagers who get to similar situations after the orphanage graduation.
We ask you to pray because it`s very big project and it`s a lot of responsibility and we need your help in many prayers.Will you pray with us?

But there is one nuance and trouble we have now.The matter is that our mom lived in the house on two owners. During a fire not only our house suffered, but also partially a part of the house of neighbors.Now neighbors submitted on court to select  the land of mother and to compensate their loss, despite that mother isn't guilty, there was an accident.Guilty of mom is unproven and her fault there absolutely aren't present.

Several months ago, after fire I very much was afraid of it and begged the Lord, that He wouldn't allow, that saved us and there was no court. Everything seemed normally and everything calmed down. But several weeks ago we learned about that, that on July 2 there will be a court. It is so funny to see, how heart and thoughts of the person changes. Before I was afraid, cried, begged God to protect our family from the evil.I begged the Lord that He didn't allow court. I told, the Lord it is not for me, I am not so strong to go through it, I am afraid, I don't know what to do, how to be etc.
Today, I probably even would like that this court would take place and that the Lord put an end to it to everything. Today I am not afraid, I have the perfect peace in heart and even joy. Yes, it not pleasant process etc. But the Lord gives me a peace in heart that helps to suffer and not to think everything of it often. I don't know than it will end and what decision will carry out court. But I already thank the Lord for the peace in heart and I trust that all from the Lord.What decision the court wouldn't carry out , I will accept everything as from the Lord.
We ask you our dear friends, to pray for this court that shall be on July 2 (in two days). That this court was honest and fair on the relation of our family and neighbors.Please, we ask you to support us in many prayers that the Lord would protect us and helped us with the solution of this question. That the Lord would grant to wisdom and blessed process of court. Also that the name of Lord Jesus was glorified through this situation. We pray for salvation of souls of these neighbors that the Lord would help us to show His love and compassion, as though it was not heavy to us. We ask you to pray that the Lord would be there.Please, will you pray with us???We need many prayers now.Thanks!

Heavy but blessed

   First we would love to thank for many your prayers, for our brother Misha and his father.Tears leak as a stream, tears of the humble heart and great God's love, kindness and mercy.Thank you, our dear friends for your love and such kindness in these heavy days.Your Christian love simply melts our hearts and bring glory and praise to our Heavenly Father and Saviour.

  God hears your prayers, dear brothers and sisters in Christ!Thanks to your prayers the father of brother Misha is still alive. Though he is in very serious condition, but his heart still beats waiting for the last meeting with his son and a meeting with the Saviour in the Heaven. Also the Lord sent necessary finances that our pastor could go and see the father.It`s great blessing!Thank for your great love and kindness.

Praise the Lord for all His mercy and goodness!We are so blessed by His grace and astonish love!

Our pastor is on his way the second day already. Please, keep him in prayers and his father, Yuriy. Only God knows, how many days his father and our brother in Christ will be alive...Thanks.

   In these heavy days for our brother in the Christ and director of BOM needed to be solved, how to be, how to do correctly and right. The father on a death bed, it is necessary to be with him in recent days or hours of his life but he lives in thousands and thousands kilometers from here. And at this time we had only several days to say goodbye to graduates of orphanages, because then we wouldn't see them.These all things in one time and in two different countries... As though it was not sick and it is heart-breaking, the decision was made, first of all to say goodbye to graduates of orphanages, to tell them about the Lord, to give the last manuals and lead to the Lord, if God`s will. And it was the right decision, we believe! Yes, it was not easy but right.Our hearts are broken but God helped to do right decision and as the result, blessed . We prayed and asked that the Lord be merciful and prolong life to the father of brother Misha. So, we could visit orphanages during two days. The Lord  surprisingly blessed with huge blessing and the father of our director is still alive by mercy of Lord and thank your many prayers. Praise the Lord!

So, we could visit one more orphanage where there are graduates.It`s one of biggest orphanages.There are 31 graduating children, the 2 grades.

After a meeting, we could provide your huge gifts, showing your care about them. :)

The blessing is really huge! Isn`t it?

 

 Jewelry to orphans,  the God's word.

 We are so blessed could provide Bibles to these children.

 And the magnificent book, "Thoughts for young men".

The director (to the left of me) this orphanage was so struck! All employees of orphanage couldn't believe that blankets and utensils are for each the orphan. All were inspired, amazed and warmly thanked.

 

 Many children came running to look and admired looking what gifts graduates receive. Many small children asked. "Will you present too to us such gifts?" :) They were so sweet.

We had great time and were so happy that could provide these wonderful and so necessary gifts to these teenagers!

In next post I will share with you about one more huge blessing we have :)  Hope today. So, coming back soon!Thanks.

Come to Me, I will give you rest...

"Come to Me, I will give you rest"these words belongs to Jesus Christ who says it in His word SO many times.
I love this song, it so pure and beautiful.

Our Heavenly Father wants we trust Him with all our heart when we have some trials and troubles, sorrow, grief, cause, heart aches, even it`s hurts and heavy.Because "all things work together for good". God does the best in our lives.He loves us so much and He never wants brings us a pain because He is our Father and the best Friend. He wants we will be happy with Him and enjoy every moment of our life.He just work in our lives and hearts that make us better and purer for His glory.That we will be more fruitful.Yes, you do not see the light in such dark tunnel, yes, you do not understand why and other things.But our beloved Saviour wants you trust Him.I just trust what He says in Bible.Probably we never will understand His purpose.But He is God.His ways are perfect and the best.And after any trouble, God blesses SO greatly that you forget about all sorrows you had before.You trust more to Him and say, "yes, Lord, you was so right!"

One of my favorite Bible verses: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)KJV

Just trust Him.Then faster we will accept it in our life and make up mind to it, then the faster come the peace and rest in heart,  to us it will be easier to live.

Friends, we need your many prayers.We see and feel as devil harms our efforts in ministry, how he bother us and try to stop everything here. We need your prayers that the devil will be defeated in his attempts to harm us.

Lately Bible verse is in my head."Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them." (Job 1:6)

Many of you know this great story about Job, about his trials and how the Lord blessed him in the end.

Yes, we are far away from Job, we are not perfect as he was before the Lord, we will not have so many trials as he had.But our situation reminds me how trouble came one after other. 

First I would love to say about blessing we have.Recently we would inform you that you didn't visit our official website as spammers has cracked it.Somebody has told to us, it`s visible that who dislikes you strongly, as already the third time for year have cracked the website.I think that we don't need to think long who us strongly doesn't love and harms that people wouldn't learn about orphans and didn't help them. :)

But the glory to the Lord website already works. There were some difficulties and have spent more days than we thought.But anyway, our official website www.bibleorphanministry.com already works!Praise the Lord!

Yes, it is small harm if compared what happens.Simply it is really visible as the Satan harms.We are very sorry if it has created to someone inconveniences.

Before there was a great grief in our family, has burned down the house of our mom. Many of you already know about it. We asked you to pray strongly for it, as test only has begun. In the beginning I have strongly got confused and didn't know what to do.
 I have been VERY strongly frightened, not that has burned down the house, but what waited for us ahead, as to us have already informed. I should make the correct decision as Christian and to protect the family. It was very heavy, I cried, prayed, begged God to help to give to me wisdom and to help. It was very heavy to understand what is correctly.

One my dear friend has told that I should accept this decision that will bring to me the peace in heart.Just in moment I understood, she was SO right! I thank God for this my dear friend!I have remembered that learned recently children in a orphanage that we can win fear with God`s help. When I prepared this lesson, I have thought about, as I would like to become once courageous as David. But I hadn't to wait long. :) In this situation that has occurred to our mother, it was necessary to me boldness and wisdom in the correct decision. I had to make the decision that I VERY much was afraid. I had only 5 days.These days I wanted to hide in Jesus embraces as the small girl in embraces of the father or mother. That He strongly would embrace me and didn't release...It was awful days...

I have thought, I should win this fear as David has won Goliath. Guess what? When I have countenanced to it and I have accepted which that decision was afraid. The God`s peace has filled my heart! I have ceased to be afraid and I am NOT afraid any more. The Lord has helped to win this fear! Now I rejoice and I glorify the Lord! I would love to thank you ALL for your many prayers!I`m very grateful for all your wonderful e-mails and encouragements!It`s such great blessing to see and know how many wonderful brothers and sisters pray for us.Thank you so much for your Christian love! 

One more moment.Once I posted about that trial on blog.It hurts and breaks my heart.But when I published a post.In several minutes a felt peace in heart.I felt as many of you prayed for us.Isn`t amazing blessing? :)

It is no matter what was in my childhood and where I have spent, it has no matter that I grew out of my family,  but in orphanages, has no matter that was in the past. But we should live by future instead of past. It was the God`s plan and purpose. Yes it were awful days spent in different orphanages. But it was the God`s plan and I thank God for it.And I praise the Lord for that! I should care of my mother.It reminds me history with Joseph. When he was have sold to Egypt, it was more than awfully. But it was the God`s plan, that to saved his relatives and family. Many years of my Christian life, it was one of the most favourite my stories.And I love this story!

Our trial has not end yet...I`m very sorry that I can not tell to you of all details, this very personal. I trust that many of you have made the same. We would be very grateful if you continued to pray for this problem. The Satan wants to cause us the BIG damage and harm. I should protect myself, my sister Oksana and mother. A situation is VERY heavy. I would very happy if you pray that the Lord has protected us and has helped us with the decision of this problem. I don't know when is the end. The Lord knows. But we need many prayers, the God`s protection, the help and a miracle. Thanks!

The next. I named it, if not fire or conflagration but flood. :)

Some days ago we have come back home and have found out water on a floor, a computer table, etc. I couldn't understand technically whence water arrived? Then I have found out that water dripped from the inside of Internet a cable and it has caused to us of a few harms. I could not believe! How it happened? I was horrified when have seen that all electric wires, electric plug, charging devices and all electricity was in water.It`s was good that Internet cable was not connect to computer but it would burned away.Also router what I use for Internet was in water.I use router to connect Internet cable because network interface card burned in my computer some time before. :)

                                                   Can you believe that? :)

As the result we did not have Internet some days, I could not work on computer.And I have more work now than had before.
But we thank God, we came back to home in time and He protected while we were not at home.Nothing has not burned yet.Yes, it brought damage some furniture but not so awful as it could be.
The problem is that days earlier snow began to melt outside.Water on streets everywhere, we laugh need take a boat to swim to get somewhere.:) We had strongly frosts before, as many of you know already.
As a result our Internet cable has damage and water inside of cable  became to get inside of apartment.
We had water inside where we have computer and all electricity wires.It`s miracle that nothing were damade.Router was in water but I use it and very hope, it will work and everything will be well.

I thought that we will not have Internet for a long time for some reasons.But praise the Lord we can continue to work for the Lord!Even I have much more work.But it happened and what I can say.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

But it is small harm that the Satan wanted to cause to us and wanted to stop our work for some time. The greatest need for what we now pray and we worry these days, for our pastor of Church and director ВОМ.His father at deaths door and he is dying... It crush and breaks our hearts.It`s so heavy to lose someone you love and who are dear to your heart.It`s hurts your heart, sorrow, eyes full with tears, pain, grief, loss...

We never met him personally.But our hearts aches because he is father to our brother in Christ, brother Misha.

Some years ago brother Misha has resulted his father in the Christ. According words of brother Misha, his father couldn't believe to his eyes as his son has changed. He couldn't believe in what he speaks. After all he was the bandit and the thief in the past who constantly broke the law, an orphanage, the street and prison were his house and family. Brother Misha spoke during some days and nights successively about love of the Lord, about as the Lord has changed his life and about salvation. Later his father has asked what I should make to be saved? Today he is the Christian. It was the happiest day in life of our pastor!

After many years ago, after brother Misha was imprisoned and left. His father has told him, once again you will get there, I don't know you any more and I do not want to see you. And it has occurred. Brother Misha got to prison second time when he was released, he many long years didn't see the father. But what the love of the Christ can make? The love of the Christ is capable to forgive, sympathize and bring together! It is SO amazing  and incredible! 

Today both of them are Christians, rejoice in the Christ. But the father of our pastor is dying. He is 75 years and has very sick heart. But we ask God`s mercy that the Lord has extends the years of life, if it in His will. It was more heavy for our brother that his father lives in Russia. It very much, very far from here. There 2 days are necessary to reach.

That day when all of us have learned about this awful news, heart of our pastor and ours has been broken with tears in eyes. He wouldn't have any cent that to visit the father and probably to say goodbye to him... It costs not small money. All of us hotly prayed and asked God`s mercy and miracle. Guess what? The Lord has made a miracle and has sent money this very day. Believe, that nobody expected that the Lord will answer SO quickly! It was the REAL miracle!Amazing!!!

So, today we ask you.Please, pray for brother Misha, cover him in many prayers.Pray for his father...Pray for traveling of our pastor, we do not know when he come back, probably in a week.May God bring him peace in heart and comfort in this difficult time.He needs our prayers and support as never before.Thank you!

This is not all.We have more troubles here...

 These all and other things stymie or make slow our ministry here and we can not serve full time as before.But we very hope it`s for a short time.Recently we began our new project to share the word about Down syndrome.But we should to stop for a while.We were excited so very much when we began.We very hope we continue soon but do not know when...It`s so heartbreaking we did not visit all our dear and precious kiddies some time.It`s breaks our hearts, knowing how they wait...Please, pray for us here.We need many your prayers.Thank you!

At the end I would say, what said to me one my friend:
The devil only attacks those who are a threat to him, and this shows us that we are worthy of Jesus and of His kingdom!  I like that! :)

One more not good news.I have told you before about a family who is going to adopt their precious little girl Amelia.They have a great trial in their lives also.Please, lift them up in your prayers.As Satan destroy everything.Their blog http://bringamelia.blogspot.com/

Burned house...

Dear beloved friends, supporters, followers and just guests, with very heavy and broken heart I`m writing this update.First of all I would love to thank you for all your prayers, sweet e-mails with Bible verses, comments.When a day ago I asked you to pray. It`s such BLESSING to see some one with you in this big trial.Your love and prayers brings comforting and consoling.And it throw light in these dark days of our lives.We are in grief and sorrow.It hurts, breaks heart, feelings of hopelessness, eyes full with tears and it`s VERY and very hard.We need VERY much your prayers.

On monday late night I received a horrible calling..."You must come immediately!Your mother is burning"...I was shocked and scared very much.When we came to a place, having seen that 2 fire-engines still haven't extinguished a fire, the house which burned already about an hour.I was crying and beging God to stop the fire.I typing and tears do not stop to run down my face.

It horribly to see and understand you can do nothing...We could not sleep all night.

The next day we have seen the home in this horrible condition...Nothing...Everything is empty...Only smell of smoke and still burns fire in some places.Everything have burned up...It was home of my mom where I lived only first of my 9 years...

Again tears and hurting heart...It squeeze heart.Why God?What are you doing?Why it with me and my lovely and dear sister, who is great helper and servant in ministry to poor orphans.Why God? We have daily problems and now you let that it happened.We had a lot of troubles in our life already.Why God? We are still in grief after death of our dad, who died only several months ago.God, it hurts our hearts, it`s heavy for us.It`s heavier than I can bear... I feel so hopeless and emotionally exhausted...It`s so very hard...

That is not all. Everything only began...and it`s terrible...Dear friends, Christians, Church of Christ, we need your prayers VERY much! After this trouble everything  the consequences of our mother, actions have fallen upon me and my sister Oksana... Disastrous occurrence happened.The situation is more than hard.I and my sister have to pay for that.There is NO guilt of some one in this situation.It is God`s law and human sympathy. The situation is very and very hard.We have only 5 days to decide it.If we will not decide, it will become even very much worse for me and my sister.Situation is very hard and I can not explain it.And it scary me because we live in sinful world...

It influence on our ministry also.Devil does not like what we do for orphans and he is mad and destroys everything.

I believe many of you have worse situations and it hurts you too.You do not see a light in dark tunnel and do not know the end.Every day you pray with tears in eyes...And it`s hurt...When I think about these terrible things, I want Jesus come sooner.

With broken and heavy heart we beg you to pray hard...Please, pray God will protect us from evil and give us wisdom how to decide this trouble.Please, pray God will lead us to people who could help to decide it.Pray God give us strength and cover our needs.It`s cost for us about $5000.What is unreal and terrible for us.It scary.It is very huge money and I have no idea where to find.Please, pray God will decide this situation because it influence on ministry to orphans here.We beg you to pray.We need God`s miracle!Our hope only on God who see and controls everything.Please, pray...

Thank you, VERY much!We appreaciate your prayers VERY much!

I do not know how many "hundred" times I listened this psalm and especially in these hard days.And I so agree with this brother.His words SO much deeply touch my heart.Each time when I listen this gospel song and cry.We have to rejoice and trust Jesus even it`s very hard.Hope this psalm bring you a comfort too and console also...

With Love,
Alla and Oksana

P.S.I`m very sorry if it confuse you.I CAN NOT tell you details of this.It`s too personal.We ask you to pray.Thank you for understanding.
