Necessary items for graduates

The main reason for our night trip yesterday was the purchase of gifts for graduates! ;)
Every year they leave their orphanages empty-handed...Life is very hard for them without support. Each year, BOM blesses teens with the necessary items.

So, we have started this huge and wonderful project to bless 60 graduates with blankets and kitchen utensils!We are so excited!!! We went early at 3.00 AM to another city to the bazar. God was good and blessed in many ways!

We could buy blankets and kitchen utensils at a good discount. Isn`t it wonderful to see God`s hand in it?

At night it's harder to drive on bumpy roads. But God is good and we had a safe trip!

This year the roads became even worse in Ukraine. But in some places it is already being repaired. Therefore, we really hope for improvement so that we do not have to repair the van after almost every long trip.

                             

This is what happens when you drive on bumpy roads in Ukraine ;) You're losing parts from your vehicle! Ha ha!Thank God that we noticed it in time! 

Nature wakes up and everything blooms that so pleases your sight and brings a joy to your heart!

We are very grateful to everyone for donatings and participating in this wonderful project! It's so great not only to cover the needs of many but also to be a participant in the joy and admiration of precious hearts!THANK YOU very much!!! ♥ May God greatly bless you!!!

Please, pray for graduates, for their hearts, for their needs and that they would give their lives to Heavenly Father.

Resources for a tired mom

Resources for a tired mom, it was the topic of the seminar a few days ago devoted to mothers or very busy women. Many young adults suffer emotionally and physically very much... Many do not know how to help themselves. It breaks your heart... The purpose of the seminar was to help young ladies, to give information on how to take care of themselves that there were strength and energy to take care of their sweet family. And also that mothers could emotionally and physically rest from their children.  :) And it succeeded! We had an incredible time!!! We studied, we had a sweet fellowship and we had a wonderful time! It was AMAZING!

We sang and it was beautiful...

We learned...

Beautiful young women studied The love languages to know how to help ourselves and help their families.

They learned how to take care of the heart, mind, body, and soul.

 Precious Karina. Such a sweetie ♥

Since we were all day away from homes it was great to fill not only, mind, heart but body too and to have a lovely fellowship ♥

That the mind does not explode from a lot of information, the young ladies could rest outside, breathe the fresh spring air and enjoy the beauty of nature. :)))

We played fun games

And we even had a small romantic dinner! Why not? ;)

At the end of the seminar, all received 2 books, about the upbringing of children and about the relationship with husband. All the ladies were delighted with the gift!

Many young women greatly thanked for the wonderful time and rest! After all, some mothers with many children for all the years could not leave them for a single day to rest! Can you imagine how they are exhausted emotionally and physically besides daily routine worries?

Mommies were so inspired by the information, rest and lovely fellowship that many immediately the very next day began to work on themselves! How amazing! Many have seen problems in the upbringing of children or problems with their husbands. Some have realized how important it is to take care of their health and emotions. Many young ladies have not read books for many years! Some began to fill their minds and read books. Everyone can find 10-15 minutes throughout the day to read the book. The main thing is to want to do it. ;) Some started to plan their day! Many have realized how weak their relationship with Christ is and what needs to be done for this. Wow! It's such inspiring!!!

We hope to continue doing similar seminars from time to time to inspire moms and women and to help them in their emotional needs. 

We are so grateful to Christ for this wonderful opportunity and experience!!! Praise God!!! We also sincerely thank all those who helped to fulfill this plan!!! ♥ 

P.S. God began to bless from the very beginning when we were given a 40% discount on renting a building! How awesome!!!

Waiting

Some time ago we have started a huge and wonderful project to help renovait the housing for sweet Kozak family. So, the housing repair is over. Since the family is big, and the room is small, we had to make some furniture to order. Oh, yes, by the way the kitchen is ready and can be used! :) We are waiting for the sofa. Also we ordered a wardrobe and 3 bunk bed, since there are three boys. Shhhh! Just do not tell Olga and Sasha! ;))) Ha ha!

So we are waiting... It is need to wait about a month. We hope that in a few weeks this family will move and will enjoy having their own cozy and lovely nest. I just can`t wait to see their joy and admiration! Super excited!!! ♥

Special Guests

The Children`s House has to harder and harder to find funds for vital things lately. A few days ago, the BOM team brought food, hygiene products and cleaning products to the Children`s Home. Carrots, onions, beets, cabbage, bananas, lemons, laundry soap and many more. All together almost 1000 kg! Wow! This is amazing blessing!!! Praise God!!!

And you know what??? In honor of very few people, the whole orphanage gathered and made a concert! Oh, my!..

The BOM team asked and pleaded that we did not need all this. We just brought what the children need and that's it! All glory, honor and gratitude only to the alive God!!! He is worthy of honor, praise and worship! The administration said. "No no!! You are our special guests so you have to watch. We are very grateful to you and we do not know how to thank you!"

Children dressed on beautiful embroidered blouses and in gratitude sang and danced...

This all reminded me the place of Scripture. 

11. And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

12. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

13. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

14. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

15. And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

16. Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

17. Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

18. And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

(Acts 14:11-18)

Of course the BOM staff is far from Paul and Barnabas...But this amazing joy and gratitude makes me teary. Tears of joy, humbleness and thanks to God for His mercy and these precious children...Tears of joy for thankful hearts and for the open doors for the Gospel. We often speak about Jesus with staff of the Children`s House. And we thank God for this amazing opportunity!Tears of humility that we are not worthy of so much honor... God, all glory and honor to You, the One and alive God!!!

We are so grateful to those, who blessed and made this possible! Who not only took care of the needs of precious children but brought so much joy and delight to the whole orphanage!Thank you very much for your amazing love and care! May God bless you greatly!!!♥

The beginning is already done!

Repair in the house Kozak family has already begun! What a great joy!

First. We would like to thank absolutely everyone, who takes part in this huge project! Whoever prays, donates, shares this need, any little participation is very important for us and especially for this beautiful family! We collected all the necessary amount of money! Praise God! Thank you soooo very much!!! Many, many thanks to all, for your generosity and kindness! YOU are AMAZING!!!

Second.Repair has already begun! We had to hurry up to the cold and severe frosts to make a window and door. That workers staying warm could continue the rest of the internal work. There are still a lot of work to be done!

Honestly, I'm a little nervous and feel overwhelmed to think things over, do all the right things, conveniently and functionally. In fact in this room there will live 2 adults and precious 3 kiddies. Prayers for wisdom and quick work will be deeply appreciated! :) 

At the same time, we are very excited and happy to help this poor family have a roof over their heads and their cozy and lovely nest! ♥

The whole Wedding and Thanks from Sasha and Yana ♥

Here are a few photos and video of the whole wedding of our lovely Yana and Sasha. It was a super sweet and amazing time! ♥

Since the young couple did not have money for the wedding, they thought only to register their marriage and receive a blessing in the church. We decided to make a surprise and make small wedding for the newlyweds. Why not? ;) We played games, sang songs, showed funny and amusing sketches and enjoyed delicious food. Everything was just great! Also, BOM presented the washing machine to young family. It was huge surprise and their joy and delight was not the end! It touched and warmed the heart to see them so very happy! ♥♥♥

We are so very thankful to everyone who helped to make this day so very special and memorable forever! They felt loved. This special day will stay in their precious hearts forever! Thank you very much!!! ♥♥♥

Look, at these happy newlyweds and how love and joy is radiated on their faces! ♥ Their thanks :)

                               
                              

Sasha: I am grateful to all and the church for everything that has been done today, who helped us. We did not have the money, and we could not even think that we are celebrating such a beautiful day. We are blessed with many gifts and necessary things. We are grateful to all who helped us! And we thank Alla, who helped us with the choice of clothes. She went shopping with us everywhere and helped us. Today, we came to the church to receive blessings, changed with the rings and the church gave us a real holiday. We did not know, and even could not imagine what would happen and we are very pleased. We came to church and it was made a happy day for us! Thank you very much for all!

Yana:I would love to thank you for the wonderful gifts and the beautiful holiday that was done for us with Sasha. I did not expect.  I was very pleased and blessed my heart. Thank you for all the blessings and everyone, who participated in this. Thank you very much everyone!
