How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." 

( Psalm 133)

 What a beautiful Thanksgiving we had in church this Sunday!🍂🍁 🥰

The hall was full even many were sick and were not able to come! 

Many praises and thanks to the Lord, singings, testimonies!😇 

 In the end, we had a Love Dinner where everyone together could eat and have a wonderful fellowship. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

  This year is very special for all of us. A lot of things are happening in the ministry. A lot of different great trials in ministry and personal life... Only one test ended, the second began, then the third ... We all learn to live with new difficulties...
Our church is small but friendly as a big loving family. ♥ Because of his illness, the Pastor Misha could not be in the service for several weeks. I also could not be in church for several weeks. Stress and various experiences led me to gastric tuberculosis. The past two months have been especially difficult for all of us. I feel much better now. I thank and praise my Saviour! I believe that it will all be over soon. It takes only time and great patience. :) God is so good!

We began to appreciate fellowship with each other even more. It’s like a balm for the soul, you feel resurrected and renewed after 2 hours of church service and few hours fellowship with precious friends, dear brothers and sisters. 

Passing through the valley of trials, our church is like a small island of Love, where you can find peace and rest for your soul. We are especially grateful to the Lord for our large loving family! ♥♥♥

Please, continue to pray for the healing of Pastor Misha, for his needs, for the spiritual growth of the church, for replenishment with new souls and BOM staff as well.Thanks a lot to those who support our church!😍

Oh, did I tell you that we had baptism this summer? :)

Camp for Graduates!

An one 15-year-old girl shared with me once.

  "My parents drink. There is often no food at home. My father often has delirium tremens, he shouts, is aggressive, he grabs everything that comes under his hands to hurt someone. More than once he beat my mother before my eyes. Once he left home and was searched for several days. He was in the forest all this time. I am afraid to live in a house with my parents. When I'm home, I shake with fear and can't sleep. I do not know what awaits for me tomorrow..."

  We know this sweet girl from the Baby House, when she was 3-4 years old. Often she looks sad and depressed. Today she graduates the orphanage...

There are a lot of such and similar stories...It is terrible, heartbreaking  and painful for these precious kids...

Every child has experienced terrible moments in life... God repeatedly in His Word says to care for the needs of orphans.

 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)

 One of the parts of our ministry is to help in the emotional needs of orphaned children. They live daily in poverty, fear, uncertainty about the future, defenseless, lonely, homeless, abandoned by their parents, seeing violence and mockery in families and so so much more...

  We are starting a HUGE and VERY joyful summer project! Our hearts are thrilled!
Our big desire and prayer to our mighty God to take 50 orphans to the summer Christian camp!Wow! For us, this is a huge amount! But we do not wish to leave anyone aside!

  Thanks to such camps, we make friends with children even more! We get to know each other more, children make new friends, learn about God, get answers to their questions, get hope and much more!
Thanks to THIS incredible trip we have become a huge family! Very often, children come for the Weekend to BOM staff, and we spend time together! It is AMAZING what the Lord does! Even today, when I write a blog post, there are 7 girls in our house. ;)

 Sveta S. "I wanted for a very long time go to the Carpathian mountains very much. I saw mountains on TV, what a beauty there is! And when BOM told us that we were going to the Carpathians, it was a big shock for me and so one of my dreams came true! When we only drived there, everyone was so very happy and thrilled! Most of all, I liked it when we went up on the lifts and you could see all the beauty of the mountains. And of course the mountain Goverla! This is an unforgettable experience, joy, pride in ourselves and our class, when everyone climbed the highest mountain in Ukraine. Thank you very much for giving us such an unforgettable trip to summer camp in mountains! 😍 ❤"

 Their teacher was very surprised and said, "I do not recognize them and can not believe my eyes! What's going on? For the first time in 9 years of work, I see them new!"  The love heals wounds! :) 

This amazing gift not only gives them hope and confidence, but also shows that they are not forgotten, that they are not alone and the Lord loves them! It will bring great joy and delight! Awesome adventures! Enjoying the magnificent creation of the Creator Himself! 

Throughout the year, teenagers often ask us. "Will we go to the mountains this summer again?" :)))

Many of the children live outside of poverty and can only dream of such a trip! For many 14 years old teens, this trip will be the FIRST time in their lives!

For 50 souls it is need $ 6,650. This is $133 for a week. About $20.00 per day for a person. This includes absolutely everything! The travel, rental vehicles, accommodation, food and much more. For us, this is a HUGE amount, but not for God!

Would you like to become part of the great joy and delight for orphans? Would you like to touch the heart of a child and present this amazing and wonderful gift?
To bless orphans and become part of emotional healing and enable them to live with a loving BOM family.

Thanksgiving

This Sunday, we had Thanksgiving in our local Bible Baptist Church Charity. It was so beautiful and so wonderful day!!!

It was so great when young people helped decorate the hall and to clean as well! :) They are such a wonderful blessing!

There was a sermon at the service, children and adults praised God. There were also many amazing testimonies about what God has done over the past year.

Our hearts were filled with incredible joy and gratitude to see and hear how God works in the lives of young people!

Many people have been invited. Many unbelievers have come to praise God together. It was so wonderful to see a lot of young hearts! It came many more souls than we expected! We did not have free space and did not even have enough chairs! Some had to stand during church service. Wow!!!

Every soul is precious in the eyes of the Lord. We had almost 50 souls! Awesome! :) Our hearts sang praising God!

In the end we had the Dinner of love. No one was left hungry. ♥

We have a tradition that after the holiday all fruits and vegetables were distributed to the neediest families and orphans. Many precious souls got the bag of fruits and veggies.

Of course everyone was happy and grateful! ♥

It was amazing and so beautiful day! We praise and thank God for His mercy and goodness to our small but lovely family!!! ♥

P.S.Since our church is 80% of graduates of orphanages, different age. Many young people suffer and face various difficulties.We would be so thankful for your prayers for the spiritual growth of Christians and the salvation of those who do not know the Lord Jesus personally. Thank you very much! ♥♥♥

Marshmallow and Kite!

What an amazing day we had with the youth on Monday! We learned it had to be holiday. So, why not to do a little picnic?

We learned how to toasted marshmallow! Yay! We made s'mores with crackers and chocolate.

For all, toasted marshmallow was for the first time! Except me. :) Some of my dear friends in America have taught me how to do this. I was glad to share my little experience!

Everyone was delighted and said, "Wow! We could see it only in the movies! It's so cool!" :)

 Also we learned to launch a kite!And this was also the first time for everyone! It was so funny and great! So many emotions and laughter!!! 

Children and even their parents were delighted and super excited!!!😍 Edik shouted at the top of voice, "Mama, look, I'm launching a kite myself! " His joy was not the end!Olga was so proud of him :)

Everyone was like in the Heaven! 😇We all had a very fun and amazing day relaxing and enjoying each other!!! 

Praise God for the amazing day, beautiful weather and wonderful fellowship with each other!!!

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!!!

Thanksgiving at church

Yesterday our local Bible Baptist Church Charity had a Thanksgiving. It was such a lovely and beautiful day!

In Ukraine, it is also called the Harvest. But our Church celebrates Thanksgiving but not harvest. Everyone in our church thanks and share a testimony of what God has done for a year in his life. Mainly Protestant churches celebrate this day in Ukraine and every Church decides itself, when to celebrate this special day.

It was so fun to prepare and decorate with the young people, who are great helpers!

Preaching of our Pastor Misha was great that touch the hearts of many. The songs, testimonies of young people and their gratitude to the Lord melted and warmed the heart...

The hall was full and there were no seats. Awesome blessing!

The corridor was filled with childrens trolleys, so we had to find a new "parking" for the youngest newborns. Ha ha!

Every year is special. So this year was special also. So, we are grateful to God for the many new young people and many children :)

For those, who have returned to the Lord.

For those that you see how life changes. And many, many other wonderful and amazing blessings! I wish I would have a time to share about all!

Zhenya become such a beautiful young lady! Precious smile. ♥

 We are so thankful to bro. Kevin, who sent us new tables from U.S., what help us in many ways. :)

And paper plates, napkins sent from U.S.  made desks look very pretty as well. Everyone loved it!

 After the church service, we had a lunch or supper of love, where everyone can fill their bellies as well as the hearts. :) Our church consist somewhere 70% of the former orphans. Basically, all malnourished ... So for many it was a special time. 

Every Sunday our church feeds the hungry orphans. But during the holidays more food than usual :)

 "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? "

(Isaiah 58:7)

Everyone had a lovely and beautiful day. Outside was cold but inside was warm and sweet. No, we do not have heating yet. It is very cold in buildings now! But it was warm because of sweet and lovely spirit. In the end, all former orphans receive food, fruits and veggies. All were happy :)

But again. We would NOT have so many wonderful blessings without your precious love and generous support! So, we THANK you ALL for your astonishing God`s love, tender care and fervent prayers!!! Thank you VERY MUCH!!! Much love to all! ♥
