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!

Mattresses and pillows

Finally I can share with you about amazing blessing!We have been so busy these last days.But we are very excited and praise God!
I can tell you that we finished our last project Sweet Dreams of Orphans.It`s was awesome to see God`s hand and presence in so many different ways!We were thrilled and very happy to see how the Lord Jesus led and blessed generously!!!

As we couldn't find a bigger van, that for once to collect all mattresses and pillows,  2 days in a row were necessary to us to go to other city to take away and bring to the orphanage. We left early in the morning and came back late at nights tired and exhausted, BUT happy and pleased. :)

Here are pictures and video for the first day of our trip.

The luggage carrier of van was full.

Girls were so glad to our arrival again! Each of them wanted and hurried to help to unload the van.There was so much joy and delight!Wow!





Girls help to unload pillows.



It is how looked in the first day when we brought all pillows and a part of mattresses.Great!

Happy girls said goodbye and asked, will you arrive tomorrow to us? :)

Next day we brought a remaining part of mattresses.

It is how look already all mattresses and pillows.AWESOME!!! Isn`t it? It`s really HUGE blessing for the orphanage and these dear girls.

Look what surprising things your love and care of orphans can do, our dear friends. Look, how many joy, delight and admiration only small or big participation in life of the Ukrainian children can make. We are so warmly grateful to each of you for involvement in this magnificent project, for small and huge! Your care is surprising and great! Your involvement does life of these children on much better and brighter in this world.We are so happy and are amazed by such great God`s love!It`s simply AWESOME and HUGE blessing!

Blankets to girls

I`m so happy to tell you that our beloved girls received a new, warm and so beautiful blankets!We are so excited!
When we only arrived, girls, having seen us started to run towards to us, to kiss and hug. It was so joyful to see them again!And it was such sweet meeting!

Here is a wonderful blessing we could to bring to them at this time.It was such a joyful and excited to see the full baggage of our van.It`s such great blessing from the Lord!

Girls were very glad to help

After that we could communicate with girls a little.We had such heartwarming fellowship.There were such many laughter, smiles, hugs, joy, fun and sweet moments. It`s such a blessing to meet and see whom you love and who is dear to your heart.

I love these sweeties.Aren`t they lovely? :)

Well.The half of the project we already done.Tomorrow we are going to get mattresses and pillows and deliver to these girls again.We are so thrilled!Please, pray for our safety travels.It will take us 11-12 hours.
The greatest is heavier that now in Ukraine is very hot weather, +30-35`C(86-95 F), air is wet and to breathe very heavy. In our van there is no airconditioner and it troubles our trips when the van heats up and becomes overheated, feel as on a frying pan and are tired very quickly. We pray diligent that the Lord bless us and sent enough to set the air conditioner in van that much more will facilitate our trips and won't influence our health.

Workers of the orphanage were very grateful and admire! They warmly thanked and are glad that for one more need it is less at orphans now. There are a lot of needs...Praise God He cares of orphans so greatly!God is so good and awesome!!!

The five loaves and the two fishes

Do you believe in miracles? I do! I do believe that Jesus does miracles as thousands and  thousands years ago. Because "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews13:8)KJV People change, friends, job, time, circumstances, life, location, home, everything changes. But Jesus NEVER changes!!!He is faithful! He is Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace!

Many of you is known history about the five loaves and the two fishes. (Mark6:34-44)How Jesus multiplied it, made a great miracle, having fed five thousand people. There was only five loaves and the two small fishes! How it is possible to feed such great number of people, having only such smallness? I don't know how it is possibly. But I do believe. I simply believe, what tells the God's Word. It was simply a miracle! If we could understand by our mind, it any more wouldn't be a miracle. ;)

I like it:"And they did all eat, and were filled.And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes." (Mark 6:42-43)

Well. I have to tell you something.Something great and amazing!
God "multiplied" our means and we can help much MORE to orphaned girls, not only by mattresses and pillows! Throughout the long time we looked for mattresses at the acceptable price and that suited to beds of girls. Their beds still an old sample, from period of Soviet Union. We looked for so, that wasn't expensive and it could serve long. We found for 125 hryvnias($15.6) a piece. We were glad! As mattresses of the first-rate quality it is very expensive and they don't suit to beds of girls.

 Having raised funds, we needed to organize everything that to acquire and provide these wonderful blessings that our dear children could have sweet dreams. But HOW we are happy and also delighted! How God miraculously suits everything and makes! God took us to the right people and a place, where we can acquire mattresses for 75 hryvnias($9.37)! Wow! We are so glad! We ordered, as this is large number. Here it is necessary to order everything, differently you won't find. And now mattresses sew at a factory, for our lovely girls. It means that we can buy now not only 90 mattresses, 90 pillows, but 84 blankets for the same girls! Oh, my!!!!!It`s awesome blessing! Isn`t it?
 Interestingly and funny that we just were going to begin our following project in some weeks that to bless these orphans with soft and warm blankets. As their blankets are in an awful status too.But God ALREADY blessed and sent to buy enough blankets!Great!

I can't believe that we can already buy such large quantity of blankets!!! And we don't need to begin this project already. It is already in operation. Lord Jesus so miraculously suited everything and increased, caring of orphans. This is miracle! So, for $2.206 we can buy 90 new mattresses, 90 new pillows and 84 blankets!(For other $60 we are going to buy mattresses covers, as we have little more). Do you believe it?! This simply is HUGE blessing! In some days we are going to get and provide blankets to girls while mattresses and pillows are sewed at factory. We are so excited!We are sure that the director and administration of an orphanage will be shocked. ;) What  awesome God we serve!!!

$0.5 a day to support a mental institution

Honestly, I at all don't know from what to begin... My heart is broken and overwhelmed. I feel bitterness and pain... The lump is in a throat and tears are in eyes, I have not words... Friends, I simply have no words. I write and I delete. Then I type again. I can not find the correct words... Forgive, please... Loading this video and  pictures, caused those feelings that I had when for the first time arrived to this mental institution. I had big shock, pain and heartache.Throughout the long time, months I couldn't come to the senses. It is awfully heart-breaking. Having visited this mental institution, you never will remain same person. Your heart changed forever... You will feel pain, tears, shock, broken heart, disappointment, a regret, helplessness and it is a lot of  and a lot of another.

Our ministry consists in bringing the God's Word to orphans and cares of their emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, on how many it is possible, on how many the Lord allows.

Below, there are pictures and videos of the abandoned children, orphans with different special needs. It is not a secret that every year many children in these institutions die... Many of children that we saw, for a long time aren't present in the live. These children are left by the parents, some of them even never saw them and the word "mommy" or the "daddy" isn't familiar to them. They are lonely, helpless and defenseless...
Our help is necessary to them, Friends. Our protection, care and love is necessary to these poor souls.
 These, God's precious creatures need the great help and tender care. Who will be cares as not we, children of God? Who will show them Christ love as not God's army, Christians?..

Sweet words and gentle hugs are necessary to them.
Touchings need to them, they are deprived of it...


The hope is necessary to these sweet boys


They feel lonely and neglected

 I just wonder... will be their eyes sometime to shine with joy and happiness?

I love very much this verses:"Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy."(Proverbs 31:8-9)KJV


So, we PLEAD you to help these needing orphans... Many of them can't be adopted unfortunately and will stay here for many years... We can not help with all needs, but something to do we are capable, only with God's help. We beg the Lord to help these poor and the abandoned children.We plead the Lord to make a difference in lives of these darling boys.
The director of this mental institution does everything what in his forces. But it is very frequent means simply insufficiently. Nannies work heavy to feed, clean, wash and look after these children. Often are only 2 nanny for 20 children.It is very hard physical work.
Do you know that about 5 hryvnias a day go on feed of an orphan in Ukraine?It`s $0.62 a day!Oh, it`s terrible!Often orphans simply survive...Here (unfortunately in Russian) one of directors of a small orphanage for 30 children, shares that the government gives 0.59 hryvnia a day ($0.07) for treatment of an orphan and 890 hryvnias ($111.25) a year, for clothes and footwear. :(

In this mental institution are 90 boys with different special needs, such as Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, Apert syndrome, blind, mental delay  and others.If God gives you a wish, you can support the mental institution $0.5 a day.It`s $15 a month.Your finances will be directed to needs of this mental institution. Children will have necessary clothes, footwear, the clean bed, necessary food, diapers, means of cleaning.
 We undertake to send a pictures when necessary things will be provided to these children or even a bill if necessary.
Our greatest desire the Lord send monthly sponsors to help with needs to these orphans. Please, prayerfully consider this question. If you unable to help. Please pray.Pray God will help and care of these needy boys.Please, share about this need.We will be VERY grateful for any, little bit help.Because the need is really big.Thank you so much, sweet Friends with all our hearts!!!
 God bless you!

We are so excited that we could do it with God`s help, not in 5 weeks as we thought and expected, but in 3 weeks! Miracle! Miracle! Our God is great and mighty one! He is so good and is all-powerful! Is that something impossible for the Lord Jesus? Thanks a lot to all, everyone, all who took part in this great project. Thanks sweet Friends!

Good and bad news...

This updating is about the father of our brother Misha and director of BOM.

We have for you good and bad news.
Good news, that prayers can do miracles. It indeed, our dear friends. Thank many your prayers the father of our brother Misha, is still alive.
This is real miracle. Thank God! Neither doctors, nor friends, nobody can believe in it that he is still alive! Each time our pastor Misha goes on funeral to the father and each time he stand up on feet and he become better. At this time he started to eat and he started to stand up on feet too.

And bad news. He has a sick heart and as the result other illness joined. It seems that he has the hypoxia. Also he had a stroke.When his son arrived to him, his father raved and didn't understand that occurs, forgot names sometimes, behaved as the child. Therefore to his son Misha, it is necessary to look after him, to comb, feed, shave, dress, to wash etc.and stayed longer time there.

Here what brother Misha says:
"I understand that not for long remained, though doctors say that such senile status can be prolonged still any time. 
Now he in such status that for me it become by pain to look at him, such helpless. Such to worry is very difficult, day after day, day after day.... And it passes day after day...; I shave him, I feed, I take him out under a hand on a yard (is very weakly), I dress, I sit with him at nights. Today had cut nails to him and nearly didn`t cry... After all I remember that once in the childhood he cut to me nails, and now I do to him, because he is unable. And sometimes I simply hug and say - "Father, I very much love you", and he is silent, probably, already understanding nothing about what I speak.So painfully that I nearby, and he doesn't feel joy from my presence, as earlier. It is difficult to tell and show the love, and it is so heavy to transfer it when your important words and your feelings to dear person are known only to you, and he doesn't know it, or - simply doesn't understand.

It`s heavy to look at him, but I love him, and he very much is dear to me. Difficult that this love isn't mutual, and is one way, with no strings attached .
I love him, even if he doesn't understand it, or nearly doesn't understand. I understood, though, likely and not up to the end how we are beloved by the Christ. I understood more that the love to my father became even more strongly not is dependent on any consequences in his life.
Though I am and in bitterness, but partly enjoy his presence... and probably in his last days..."


  Our hearts are broken with bro.Misha and it hurts.It`s so heavy to carry this burden...

He is so deeply grateful for all your many prayers, e-mails and support!It gives him strength and peace in heart, even it`s hurts. It helps him to carry this burden and see love of Jesus, through your great Christian love and care.He so much appreciates it.Many thanks, sweet Friends.

Dear our beloved brothers and siters in Christ, Dear Church of Christ, we ask you to continue to pray for brother Misha and his father, cover them in many your prayers, God give them peace, comfort and provide all their needs they have.Please, pray God will do His will in their both lives, what He wants...We know God will do what is the best even it`s heavy and you do not understand.Please, pray...Thanks a lot!God bless you!

Denied because of Down Syndrome...

I looked and cried.It breaks my heart... It were tears of bitterness and tears of happiness.

http://govoryt-ukraina.tv/stories/discuss/64/

Elena Muzolevskaya wants to adopt a girl with Down syndrome, but officials forbid her to do it.
A resident of Simferopol Muzolevskaya Elena - qualified nurse and mother of two children. Hearing the story of Veronica - a girl with Down syndrome, abandoned by their parents, Elena wanted to adopt a child, but local officials denied her in this. In the studio, "To say Ukraine" to discuss whether there is in our country, unspoken discrimination against children with Down`s syndrome and why these children do not allow to adopt.

I`m so sorry that this video is on Russian. :( Probably someone knows Russian or someone who would help with it... It is necessary to watch!

One more meeting

I LOVE these precious smiles!Aren`t they cute and sweeties?Ah, we so love these darling souls.
The Lord gave the chance to us to conduct with them one more Bible lesson, telling about God's miracles and his care of his children. This time we told them story about Elijah how the Lord used him and made many surprising miracles/(1 Kings 17-18)

I told you early here that we made a puppet a raven who was a guest(in other orphanage) and told to children about Elijah, as ravens fed him.( 1 Kings 17:4) It was such joy to children at this orphanage too!
All of them so attentive and with amazement listened to what our raven Karkarona (her name) told. It was amazing and such wonderful moment! All children listened and looked at her with delight, in fact she was our guest. ;) Kids wanted to pet her and were soooooo excited!They LOVED her!

As the puppet of raven drew attention of children, it was easy to tell a remaining part stories about Elijah, what Nadia and made.It was awesome time!

Then we played game, "feed Elijah". One part of children hid slices of paper meat where the Bible verse was written and which we studied then. Other part of children, which were in a role of ravens, shall find this meat and bring to the protagonist of the Bible story, by other word to feed him. We had Nadia as prophet Elijah.

Kids were so much excited to play this game!They were so thrilled they should to find something.As they love to hide and find!The game was excellent too!

Look at this sweet boy how he is happy that he found this piece of the meat.

Then children did a raven craft. So that saved time at lesson and children weren't soiled in black color, we ourselves painted paper plates by black color, before going to this orphanage. It was necessary to paint 70 pieces. It simplify much more work of children. They should paste only a beak of raven, where it held the Bible verse that we studied. Also to paste wiggle eyes. Oh, how they simply adore, when eyes move at their crafts! And with help of brads to attach wings to raven, that it could "fly".
They were SO much excited to make this craft!And especially that it can fly!

At the very end of a meeting we congratulated who had birthdays. Oh, how they were glad to gifts! Before the lesson began, children already hurried to tell that they had a birthday. Some children asked:" Will you congratulate me and present a toy to me when will be a birthday in 3 or 4 months?" 
Many orphans wait these gifts for some months forward! Please send toys, cars, whatever you can.., that we could congratulate them. It is a special day in life of each child. You need to see their admiration and such pure joy when they receive them!
Our desire to make their special day, at least a little more joyfully and absolutely another from all common and gray days their lives. Please, remember that nobody congratulates orphans, and they so wait for a gift...Thanks!
 We had such great and wonderful time with these kids.

Well.With these souls, dear to our hearts, we can meet not soon... They go to homes on summer vacations. They go there, where for them don't wait, where they aren't loved, where they can meet an evil and violence, misunderstanding and humiliation.It so sad and breaks our hearts that here on the earth, they simply are necessary to nobody, lonely and thrown... Please pray, that God keeped them from any evil and troubles.Pray that they saw the God's hand in their lives, love and his care.Thanks a lot!

"But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." (Luke 18:16) KJV

Sweet Dreams of the Orphans - new project

 Dear our loving friends and faithful readers, brothers and sisters in Christ, we begin our new project -Sweet Dreams of the Orphans. The purpose of this project to bless orphans in their need with mattresses and pillows that they could sleep, forget about awful nights and with a joy thanked the Lord.
The administration of an orphanage asks us to help long ago in this need, but we can't help orphans without the God's help and providing.

 This orphanage has 90 girls with different special needs, age of 5-35 years. There are girls with Down Syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, mentally retarded, Apert Syndrome, delayed of developmentally and others. We visit this orphanage regularly with Bible lessons.It`s same orphanage where Annya received a wheelchair a year ago.It`s same place where girls received school supplies.It`s same orphanage where girls received wonderful gifts recently.

 Status of these mattresses and pillows the simply is awful. These mattresses are more than 30 years old! You can imagine what is there inside of mattresses and how it is not easy to sleep to orphans.In the inside of pillows are rags that does incapable to sleep on them. That causes mass of inconveniences and sufferings. You can imagine how heavy to sleep at night to children and as awfully they suffer. And if children with special needs sleep not enough or badly, it brings more problems both for children and for employees of orphanage.

Special inspection of orphanages requires that mattresses changed EACH 6 years. But the orphanage unable to provide all orphans and to solve this question.

Once we saw a sweetheart child that slept simply on this metal grid because of absence of mattress. The grid was covered just by a simple sheet. Can imagine how this child felt and suffered on this grid??? It`s terribly!

Seeing these mattresses and pillows simply breaks our hearts.And became a burden since then.There are no words...









The need is to raise fund $2.206 for a month, for all girls that to help to bless each of them,by a mattress and a pillow.This sum includes mattresses and pillows for all 90 girls and all fees.It frightens a little, because a large sum. But the need is more there.

But when I start to think as wonderfully and generously the Lord blessed our last project.How much we made with your help before in other projects, that just makes really smile, because we know that we have some very loving friends and readers who care, want to help and pray. You all make us grateful every single day for this wonderful community of friends we have and enjoy being a part of. 

Dear Church of Christ, dear our brothers and sister, can we do it together in one team, in one unity of Spirit for God`s glory and joy of precious children?Can you please help to make sweet dreams at nights of these orphans with special needs?

 If God gives you a wish, you can be a part of this great project, by these ways.

  • Please, share about this need everywhere you can...via e-mails, on social networks, at your families, at churches, with friends etc.
  •  Please pray that the Heavenly Father of these orphans would bless and provided in their need.

Thanks a lot for involvement in this project, thanks for your tender loving care to these children and prayers. We very strongly appreciate it!God bless you!!!

                                            

About prophets to orphans

God gave the chance to us to conduct the Bible lessons last Friday and Suturday at orphanages.Here about one of them. 
It was great and wonderful day with children!All of them so rejoiced when saw and ran to us.It was such warm and friendly meeting.Having received lovely hugs from children, we began a lesson.

After we prayed and sang the song, we repeated with them 3 kings about whom we learned before, Saul, David and Solomon. Children attached figures and names of kings. We were surprised, delighted and are so thrilled that all of them still so well remembered all stories! It warms our hearts and brings such blessing that children remember, despite that passed enough time.

Also having remembered about Elijah, we told them story about Elisha at this time.

We love to make something interesting, so decided to surprise children. We printed Naaman and laminated, so it is possible to place in water without being afraid that it will become wet.We drew leprosy by a felt-tip pen and when lowered in water, it was gradually washed away. (2 Kings 5) Children were amazed and surprised!They LOVED it!
Rest of parts of history about Elisha and miracles, which God made through him, they looked on the animated film.So we continue to study prophets. Children already know two from them, Elijah and Elisha.

To solidify knowledge of history, we played game where children added puzzles. We printed these big puzzles that the picture would be visible to all children.
That who gave the right answer on a question, had the right to attach a puzzle. Thus we had the picture where the widow spilled and sold oil with her sons.(2 Kings 4:1-7)  Children were excited so much to play this game!They LOVE puzzles!

I love 3D operations! Therefore to diversify and make interesting training, made a gold Bible verse unusual. Having printed it in a big format that would be visible to all children, we decorated this picture, pasted fire from reaped paper, having glued cotton wool to make clouds volume. Also made foam leaves of palm tree and cocoes.It was so fun and I love it!
The Bible vese is: "But without faith it is impossible to please him." (Hebrews11:6)If you want to see miracles in the life, you need to trust to the Lord.

Even if it is necessary to work over any project, until late at night, (or to the morning) and to get up early in the morning that to go to an orphanage. You still feel tired and not got enough sleep. But dear friends, it is worthy of it! It is worthy of it how children admire and thrill! It is worthy of it to surprise children and to bring so much joy in their lives! :)


Here children do a craft, Elijah on a fiery chariot.
 We found many small boxes and made chariots having painted by red color to facilitate operation for children. They needed only to color horses, to attach fire to chariot, Elijah and Bible verse that learned before. And at the end to connect horses to chariot with help of drinking straw.
It was fun to work on that!
Isn`t his smile is precious?
I love these kids! They are such darlings and smart boys. They are three friends and finished their job the first at this time.Aren`t they sweet?

At the end of  meeting we congratulated those children at whom there was a birthday during this time.Of course, they love their gifts!Aren`t they darling?
Boys so liked cars that they started to play directly and other children asked to play. It is not surprising.Where they will take these toys to play?
Alla placed the bunny in chariot of Elijah and so played with it.She loves him. :)

These dear and precious kids permanently ask and so much plead to come and to them also.It breaks our hearts that we can't do it. But we very much and very much hope that next year, they will join our Bible class and also can study the God`s word and enjoy fellowship.

It was the last Bible lesson this educative year, in this orphanage. We can continue only in the following autumn. All children go on summer vacations. Our hearts are distressed from that they go there where for them don't wait and they often see misunderstanding and violence in their families. Please pray for these children that the Lord would save them from the evil and they saw His love and care.

Please continue to pray for the father of our brother Misha. He is not better... Probably our Director of BOM will stay there 2-3 weeks more. No one knows...It depends how long his father will be alive. Many thanks, dear Friends.We know, God hears your prayers!
