God`s Word to orphans

Ok.The next day Friday after visitation of small ones, we could visit orphans at other orphanage and had Bible lesson as every time.

After prayer we sang a little and refreshed in their memory several Bible verses which we have learned with them before.We every time recollect that they remember Bible verses and it remain in their hearts forever.

Why we do it?Because Bible says:"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:9;11

If we have verses in our hearts it keep us from sin, give encouragements, strength, faith, wisdom, peace, do right etc.Than oftener we read Bible (sincerely and with pure heart) all the more is our faith."So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

I Bible every time give advice to Christians. Do you want to have strong faith? Read Bible daily with all your heart!It is very simple and it is what Bible says! :)

One of my favourite verses:
 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success". Joshua 1:8

And children like it much to refresh verses, especially verse with gestures "O Lord, my strength and my fortress..." Jeremiah 16:19 which we learned here.

Next we recollected last story.That is was very interesting that they remembered the name of Boaz but could not remember name of Ruth.We were surprised and amazed that they remember Boaz!It is heavy to remember for them.Because names are Hebrew and these kids are with special needs.So, we repeat names with them too.But I think that ok and most of all important that they remember Bible stories and what God can do in their lives too. :)

At this time we told them a grand story about Debora.I love our "Debora"!Isn`t she beautiful? Masha was very  proud to play a role of Debora.She is very nice and clever girl.

Taras played a role of Barak, who was afraid to fight with Sisera.Judges 4 He so excited to be him!

A second Masha(on the right side) played Sisera.We did not have enough boys, so we took the girl.We did not have many kids at this day because several of them were sick, several of them(boys) a teacher took them to do something at orphanage.But we had a good time!

After telling to them of the Bible story we explained, if any person do not do what God says to do, He pass a praise to other person.It is same as Barak did not trust to the Lord, he was afraid Sisera and asked the woman, warrior Deborah to go with him.And God praised a Jael wife of Heber the Kenite.
Judges 5:24 "Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent".

Here we played a game "To help palm tree to blossom".If they gave correct answer on Bible story, they had right to stick a palm leaves.They loved this game sooo much!

And after that we learned Bible verse."The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree..." Psalm 92:12(a) In Russian Bibles Psalm 91:13 Kids were amazed to see this verse with Deborah!!!

They said:"Oh, that is very easy!" And each of them wanted very much to say this verse after that when we learned it.They enjoyed to learn and liked it very much!!!

In the end children made craft, palm tree with Deborah under tree and with Bible verse.

Oksana and Nadya helped those, who needed help.

Here our kiddies with their palm trees.Aren`t they beautiful?

They enjoyed and were impressed sooo much by their palm trees.So, they decided to place it onto blackboard. :)  Isn`t it sweet?

 

We were so blessed to spend time with them and we praise the Lord!Probably next Friday will be last day when we will meet them and we will miss them.It is so sadly. Because after 23 of December they will have winter vacation.We are not sure yet.But we will see.

God loves them

Do you see this sweetheart and precious one whom pastor Misha is holding? Do you remember we asked you to pray several days ago for this small one who eat not well? 

We pleaded Jesus to help this little girl.We are so thankful to you for your prayers and we are so blessed!God answered and sent to us a blessing just in time we could help this small girl! Wow! What a blessing!

"...for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy". Hosea 14:3(c) KJV

We could to buy a medicine what will help to her we hope to have a good appetite.We could buy pills what will be enough for several weeks!Also we could  help with diapers little.
 

We are so glad that God cares about orphans and we praise Him!We praise the Lord for his measureless love to these sweet treasures and adorable ones!

We could spend time with these small ones!Oh, what a blessed and amazing time we had! Children were so excited by games, songs, especially by puppet show!We were such happy to make this day special in their small lives and happy!They received sooo much positive emotions and exciting moments!

On this video you can see a game we played.Usually when we play at this game, children should to give a correct answer to question about Jonah.(While we have our travels, Bible program about Jonah to orphans during this month). Oh, yes we told them very simple Bible story about Jonah too. :) And they were soooo much amazed when whale opened mouth!!! They said: "I, I want too!" It was soooooo sweet! Many of them wanted to be Jonah too and hide behind of whale.It was so and sooo funny!

As these children with special needs and they are too small to give an answer and many of them do not speak.We just played a game and when music stoped, they should to turn oneself and pass on a toy to a next child.

They enjoyed to play!

Next game was loved by many kids, to catch fish.Oh, how they loved it and excited!

 Aren`t he cute?

As you remember we learn Bible verse by this game.But these kids are too small so, we just played.And when they caught a fish, they just tear away a piece of paper on blackboard.An one sweet girl when she got a present in this game.She caught a fish with gift.She not needed tear away a piece of paper but she saw children did it.They liked it much. And she said: "Where is my piece? Show me, I want to tear off too!" :)

Look at him, how he is happy!

The next video how they enjoyed and excited by puppet show.They loved it so much that asked puppets to sing more and more!Are not they cute when they clap of hands?

Oh, how they sweetie and cute when they sang a song! Aren`t they?I love to watch this video again and again!

This is not all.We have brought gifts to these small angels, toys and small cars.Oh, how they were amazed when they heard it!How they were excited!It was so funny when several girls wanted to get cars too!

Thank you so much Sabrina and her wonderful family, who has blessed these sweet orphans by so many toys!What a blessing to the orphans to receive and have their own toy!We were excited very much with our small angels, it seemed as we receiving these toys too! :)
Bible says: "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep".Romans 12:15

We had such blessed and wonderful spent time with small ones!We thanks God, who has blessed these precious ones who has needs all time!We are so happy could bring if only little bit a Christ light, hope and love to these abandoned by parents kiddies. Please, continue to pray we will be able to help them in their needs!Thank you!

Exciting day

What an exciting day we had yesterday!We are so rejoicing and praise the Lord Jesus!
 We had special meeting in Kiev with already special friends. :)
 I will tell to you little. But first would like to tell you before the meeting by the way to Kiev we could visit several orphans at hospital.They are sick by bronchitis. :(

Ukrainian ambulance

 
We had Bible lesson last Saturday at an orphanage where  from are these sweet kiddies.I will tell you and will post pictures later about lesson.So,some kids were sick and they coughed much, some could not be on Bible lesson and several of them are in hospital.We decided to visit those who are at hospital.

When we came in to their ward or hospital room, we were shocked.Because there are nothing except several empty bed tables and beds.The bed`s clothes are such yellow and wear from reusable and washings that looks awfully and is already unsuitable for use.There are nothing for kiddies to play, games, toys, books or anything that help them to be busy while they there.On walls is nothing hanging, only dyed by paint many years ago and it is need to renew already.

 Hmm.I thought or a person can quickly recover, being in this hospital room only looking all the day at these walls and lying in awful bed`s clothes?Only being there and seeing this condition of hospital room you can get sick more... :(
Awful not because medical staff or workers do nothing for a condition of hospital room. Because the hospital has no enough finances that care about of patients and to help them to recover quickly.

So, when we went into the room oh how kids were happy and surprised!Oh, how they were excited much!

God has blessed and we could bring special gift to them fruits, bun and drinking yoghurt.As orphans never ate yoghurt they asked what is that?You may inquire that these kiddies never ate yoghurt?Yes, it truth, they NEVER ate it!And they were amazed and soooo happy to get it, thanks God!

 We praise God He sent us blessing gift in time and we could to bless these poor children!

Some orphans are sick in orphanages.It is cold here and children catch cold.Please, will you pray for their health and quickly recovering?Thank you!

After spending time and prayer with these precious we went to have another meeting.

 Well, we have a family who was a huge blessing in our ministry, who blessed many times poor orphans here.Now they adopt 2 nice girls with Down syndrome.We knew they will go to Ukraine and we wanted to give our special personal thanks and give them our hugs. What an amazing, sweet and lovely is family Kimble!What a blessed family with such sweet God`s spirit!

Please, follow by their blog and support them by your prayers, encouragements, comments, donations or whatever God will put to you on heart.Thank you!

 What a surprise was for us to meet one more beautiful family who adopt 2 precious girls too by Reece`s Rainbow also, the organization that helps families to adopt children with Down Syndrome or other special needs.The family Eubanks are so sweet and kind!With such inspired and sweet spirit! Please, follow their blog, in their journey of adopting.Support them by your prayers, encouragements and even donations, as they need.

 What a blessing to know those people who chose God`s way, obeying him and follow Christ.What a blessing we had speaking about orphans, christianity and many other.We had such blessed and amazing day!Even God sent us nice and sunny weather at this day.Now here it is cloudy, windy and cold.

 We were able to share a meal together, traditional Ukrainina food. :)What an amazing gift of Christian fellowship God blessed us! We had such sweet and peaceful feeling of being with them.It seemed as we knew them for a long time. :)

 And we could to see little a beautiful places of famous city of Ukraine.

 We are so and soooo exciting God blessed we could to see our special friends, to make new ones and had such blessed Christian fellowship!We came back to home late but we were so happy and blessed and praise the Lord for His mercy, many blessings and wonderful day!

In next posts I would love to share with you a blessed 3 visits of orphans we had last week. Come back soon! :)

about Deborah to orphans

I`m very happy to tell that we could visit several orphanages yesterday and today.We had very blessed time with kids!Also we are going to visit one more orphanage tomorrow, if God`s will.About our visitings I will share with you a little bit later.Here I would like to tell you about one of ours visiting that we had last week.

Do you see this beautiful girl who is sitting under a palm tree?She was Deborah.Yes, we told a Bible story about Deborah, woman-warrior to children who dwelt under palm tree and who was a prophetess and judge too.In Bible this story is in Judges 4. Children were amazed and surprised to hear that!!!They loved this strory!

After prayer and song we had object lesson.We showed a picture of chariot to them and spoke a bit about it.

What do you think, for whom it is easier to winning for infantryman of the warrior or who has a chariot?Why? etc.

After that they listened of  the story.We have decided to tell this story in roles where there were Devora, Sisera and Barak.

The Lord has blessed with it we could make a palm tree that it would be more interesting to children. We have made leaves with of the big sheets of foam. Thanks to those who has blessed us with big sheets of foam! And we have made a tree trunk(body) with of a cardboard pipe which we have asked in shop for fabrics. Usually on this pipe reel up the big rolls of fabrics. God has blessed that we have got several of it free of charge. :) We colored it, have added leaves and we had palm tree.Children were amazed and said: "Oh, we have palm tree!That is unusual!"

Kids were excited very much to play roles of this story but others were excited to listen and it was fun!

Then we had a game, where children should to give the right answer on a question on Bible history. We named this game, Help a palm tree to blossom. As our palm tree was without leaves, children helped to blossom to it by means of their answers. :) Who has given the right answer, had the right to attach a palm leaf.

They loved much this game!

But children were more amazed and impressed when they saw Bible verse which we were going to learn with them!!! Wow!That is nice!Oh, look it is Deborah and palm tree! and many different speeches you could hear! :)
The verse we learned with the was "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree..."Psalm 92:12In Russian Bibles Psalm 91:13
We printed big picture of Deborah with warriors where is Bible verse too and colored it.Also we made palm tree there, leaves were made from foam too that we can use it in many orphanages. :)

Then they did a craft, Deborah under a palm tree. Very much it was pleasant to them, as the craft was unusual and it was easy to do it for them.

We were so blessed by spent time with them and telling about Bible heroes!We thanks and praise God!

At this time Sasha and Lyuba had time with teens.I`m so sorry I do not have pictures.But I know, they had absolutely blessing time with older kids!

Friends, we need your help!We would be very thankful if you will pray for us, God give us wisdom, strength, patience, to know heart of each child more, how to train and help them as much as it possible.How to discipline them and teach them to obey.As most children are with special needs and each of them are very different, it is very heavy for us.Very often we need in God`s wisdom.
Please, pray for us! Thank you!!!

Carrying out the International day of invalids is directed on December, 3rd to attention attraction to problems of invalids, protection of their advantage, the rights and well-being, on attraction of attention of a society on advantages which it receives from participation of invalids in political, social, economic and cultural life.

The purposes for the sake of which this day has been proclaimed, — full both equal observance of human rights and participation of invalids in society life. These purposes have been put in the World program of actions concerning the invalids, the accepted General Assembly in 1982.

 Children and adults with the limited possibilities, suffering an epilepsy, cripples, with cerebral palsy, with Down syndrome, autistic, blind, deaf, physically and mentally disabilities etc. are considered as invalids in Ukraine or Persons with Disabilities.

We were so blessed have been officially invited to visit an orphanage for girls with special needs which we visit regularly at this unusual day!

We didn't have a program or Bible lesson as usual. As other visitors who government officials regional (oblast`), local and regional have been invited also. But we had a wonderful day to see all girls, to hug, kiss, to communicate a little.

As the older girls very much like to embroider in this orphanage during a nap while small kids sleep at day. In the beginning the orphanage has shown to visitors of their embroidery that is one of advantages of the Ukrainian people and art. We even have a saying that each Ukrainian girl necessarily should to embroider.Hundred years ago a girl which wasn't able to embroider, couldn't marry. But today it doesn't work and remains in the past. But nevertheless some sisters from our team can embroider also. :) It brings pleasure and employment.Those who was already in Ukraine, could see hundreds and thousand embroidered products or goods anywhere and everywhere. But in this orphanage of embroidery help girls to be occupied and it helps them to calm down mentally.

Here some pictures of  embroidered products by girls. Years earlier they even could sell their products at special fairs.Aren't they wonderful?

One employee woman of this orphanage is very creative and talented and she has thought up here such a small museum of the Ukrainian life of hundred years ago.From old things and fantasy they made such very interesting museum.
 It shows how there lived people in the Ukrainian houses earlier.

The old metal iron

Wooden distaff on which did a cloth of flax. And then from these cloths sewed clothes.

 It is traditional Ukrainian drawing where necessarily there should be a girl, the river, the house, and trees a willow or a arrow-wood etc.

When we have entered into a class to see children and to communicate they were so surprised and so rejoiced!Oh, how they were happy!!! They huged and kissed us! It was so lovely!

 They were amazed and excited

 This girl showed on me and spoke all time "mammy, mammy". I was surprised and it was pleasant to me.What a wonderful blessing!

 Tanya didn't want to let go Lyuba very long and pressed to herself very strongly.She deaf but very lovely and sweet girl.

Also we could to bless orphanage by educating books and necessary writing-books.We were so blessed to deliver it to them!Teachers were excited very much by that!
We thought to give only to two groups when we will have enough money, to buy more books and writing-books and for other groups and to bring later.

But as there absolutely there are no textbooks so they have divided that into several groups.Few textbooks to each group. Teachers have been very glad and excited. All of them thanked often.

We would love to thank those who blessed us recently by huge blessing for school supplies!Thank you to bless this orphanage in their needs!Thank you from bottom and deepness of our hearts!Thank you to be such kindness and to be Jesus light in this world!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!God bless you!

After there was a meeting where government officials and the director of orphanage spoke about this especial day etc.

We were soooo much blessed to see girls and have fellowship with them!We were blessed to deliver educating books and writing-books to orphans thanks all of you!We praise God for all his blessings and mercy to us!We are so blessed to serve to children with disabilities!!! Each of them are very special and are precious gift of God!We love them and praise God for each opportunity to be with them! :) Isn`t it a blessing?
