Unconditional love

  "Why are you doing this? Why? I can not understand..." I heard a trembling voice on the other side of the phone. I could see tears, disappointment, pain, betrayal, bewilderment and misunderstanding. Misunderstanding of how strangers who barely knew me want to help and get me out of the pit of loneliness, pain and tears.

  Dear Friends, God is doing something amazing and beautiful!!! Almost 2 months ago I was in fasting and prayer for my lovely girls. On the same day in the evening I received a call from the Social Service for children's rights with an invitation to the office. Honestly, I was scared. I understood that something had to happen in the life of two girls. But what, Lord? It was scary. It is terrible to hear a decision that could cripple the lives of girls even more. The girls had no where to go! If the eldest could settle in a student dormitory since she will be soon 18 years old. Although we did not like this decision very much, to be honest. Because there are children without control and a lot of terrible things are happening. We felt that was not right desidion. But young 16-year-old girl simply did not have where to go! The house in the village was destroyed, her grandmother called me and asked me to take care of her granddaughter because she was not able to. The girls were scared and confused. They begged me not to leave them. Our hearts were broken. I cried a lot and prayed. The situation was very difficult. I just could not leave them on the street! I was ready to fight for the girls to the end! I was ready for the worst ... If Social Services forbids me to take care of the girls so that they continue to live with me. I was ready to defend their rights!!! I was determined to defend them decisively and fight for them to the end, whatever it would cost me!!!

Do you remember when Jesus Christ appeared to the disciples and they were afraid ?! 

 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (Luke 24:36-39)KJV

 

It happened the same with us! Jesus Christ Himself appeared and it was God's plan to save and reunite this sweet family!Wow!
When we were at a special meeting where the commission met and decided the fate of the children. As I told before Children's Affairs Service wanted to deprive of parental rights their mother and appoint me the guardian. I saw and felt that this is NOT what the Lord wants from me...

When we saw everything happening at the meeting, we realized that God has a different plan. We did not know what would come of it! But having faith and desire, we decided to help the family reunite!

The Social Service for Children's Rights gave the mother 2 weeks to find housing and work. We took full responsibility in the search for housing and everything else. It was a step of faith and hope on both sides.

The next day I received a call. "Why are you doing this? Why? I can not understand...How can you pay housing barely knowing me? I have only 50 grivnas($2.00) in my pocket. I don’t have food, I can’t pay for accommodation if you find. I will be ashamed to live in the same city with you because of my lifestyle and so on..."

It was difficult for a woman to trust other people. Our hearts were broken. The woman was undoubtedly confused and scared to move to another city. I promissed to be able to help walk her through this. I promissed to support her and to be near. Humans may let down, but He never will! We prayed and prayed for God`s miracle for this sweet family.

   The woman has never experienced unconditional love from anyone before...She was going to experiencing the goodness of God through His children for the first time in her life. It's not 'natural' for people to be so giving and loving to people they barely know, but that's what we as Christians are supposed to do. Don`t we? ;)

We needed it urgently and we were looking for any housing just to save the family! Very soon we found a dorm room! Then the woman found a job. The girls moved and started a new life. Honestly, it was emotionally difficult for us all. For a year and a half of life you quickly get used to a person. Girls took a special place in my heart and it was hard for me to let them go. I cried and begged the Lord to help me to let the girls go out of my heart to their mother. They should be with their loving mom. We are very attached to each other. There has been a lot of hurt in that family. Those girl's hearts have to heal.

Thanks to your willing hearts, care and love we managed to raise the necessary amount and buy the most necessary things and furniture so that the family could live!

 This is not the end of this beautiful story. :) The girls have a brother who had no where to come for the weekend or vacation to visit his family. He is also a former graduate of the orphanage but lives on his own.  Today he having holidays spending them with his beautiful family for several weeks now. In addition to the girls with his mother, he also attends our church where they hear the word of God! We all became wonderful friends! A young woman longs to hear the Word of God! We see the Lord touching her heart! She longs for fellowship with us and we have a great time together! The girls are very happy that their whole family is together! They have moved physically but not emotionally. The young ladies know that we walk along side all of them and make sure they are doing well and it gives them added reassurance.We see each other every day. Young ladies come to learn lessons when they don’t have internet, use a computer, use a washine machine, take a shower (there are no conditions in the dorm) or just chat. 

I admire the mercy and grace of God! How great and amazing is our Lord God! How marvellous and wonderful! My heart rejoices and sings! I am in awe of the miracles and actions of God!!! I cry with happiness ... and praise God for His mighty and greatness!!! 

Thank you all VERY MUCH for your participation in this beautiful story! Thank you for your fervent prayers and donations! Thank you for being there. Thank you for being part of this wonderful family reunion and part of the unconditional love for these beautiful souls!!! ♥♥♥ Please, remember Fodor family in your prayers. Pray for their salvation, for the healing of their precious hearts.

Share the amazing story of God`s grace and His unconditional love! ;)

He is free...

We are grieving these days with our brother in Christ Misha, who has lost his brother few days ago... 

Andriy was homeless often and he got sick with TB a while ago. Few days ago his brother Misha called us and asked to pray for Andriy because he was dying... He was so very bad. We were horrified to hear this news because we knew this young guy and we know how awful this sickness. How many lives it took away... It was heartbreaking to see how Misha suffered, worry and feel about his brother. He did the best he could.
Both boys are orphans, there are no parents, no relatives, not even friends. Sadly, we don`t have Andriy`s photo. His brother is working, but these funds were not enough to feed both and pay rent for housing.

Misha is in a gray T-shirt on the photo in the cemetery burying his brother 

Andriy could no longer get out of bed for several days, he coughed with blood, had very low blood pressure, he was very pale and very skinny. He was very sick with an open form of TB... Misha called an ambulance 4 times. All refused to take the young guy to the hospital, saying that there was no point because he was dying, he had a few days or hours left... Can you imagine what felt and think both guys at that moment??? Alone, without support and abandoned to the mercy of fate... Is this fair?
The next day poor guy was finally taken to the hospital. Doctors did X-ray, all the necessary tests. But unfortunately he passed away the next day... :(((

BOM helped with funds to help Misha take his brother to the last path. Andrei lived on so much poverty that there was not even shoes to bury him ... 

Some years ago, when Andrew came to church, he looked and was dressed awfully. Pastor Misha was so sad and could not look at him. He took off his shoes and gave it to Andrei. It was just one and last pair of shoes that our pastor had. Later when we met Andrew he said. I was so ashamed, I felt terrible, but no one helped me, only you pastor took off your shoes and gave it to me. And Andrew started to cry... It touched our hearts and gave a good lesson. Sometimes we do not see the result at once, but God works in the hearts of people.

We feel heartbreaking and very sad these days... How many orphans did not live up to 30 years old? BOM knows not one situation that orphans do not live to this age dying completely alone ...

But at same time we celebrate victory in Jesus! We are so grateful to everyone, who prayed for Andrew these days. We published early on facebook. But God had another plan. Andriy is FREE! He no longer feels pain, he has no tears, he is not alone, but with his Lord and Savior! The day before his death, he received Jesus Christ as his Savior! Praise God!!!Now he rests in the Heaven with his Heavenly Father and is comforted under His wing of love. Now Andriy enjoys the presence of God and everything heartbreaking and terrifying is behind.

We are so thankful to everyone, who blessed the young guy Misha to help him bury his brother showing him love and console in these heavy days... We are so thankful for sweet notes of love you left for Misha on facebook. He saw how many people around the world praying for him and he is NOT alone! He cried when we read notes... He said, it is so important for him at these difficult time... We try do not leave Misha alone and take him everywhere it is possible...Thank you very much for all your Christian love and care!

Here is a short video of Misha's thanks for prayers and financial support. He feels your prayers. :) He shocked that his brother has gone so fast. He grieves and at same time has peace in heart. And he is happy that he will meet his brother in the Heaven some day.

What Misha says:"Dear friends, thank you for your help and prayers. I felt very strongly that you were praying for me for my brother. Thank you friends for your financial help. And thanks for the prayers again! It's very hard to talk for me now. Friends, thank you for everything! Amen."

One more nest for homeless souls

Some time ago we shared the picture of this young lady on BOM facebook and asked for prayers. The prayer request was very urgent! Yaroslava and her 5 years old daughter ate only once time a day. Because of this little Kristiana is getting sick very often. So, her mom can not work and she had to stay at home. But at same time Yaroslava necessary to work to make money and feed their little family. And one more huge need they had, they were homeless. Yaroslava were at many places and governments also asking for the help. She was denied everywhere. They had only few days and had no place where to go! Can you imagine thoughts and fear of the young mom?She was alone and had no hope.

But happened something incredible in lives of these sweet souls! This little family is not homeless anymore! :) Yay! We were looking all ways possible to help Yaroslava and Kristina. We could find nothing! So, it was only one decision to rent an apartment for them. God blessed miraculously! Because the owner do not mind that family with children live there! This is awesome! We even could witness him about Jesus :) Usually it is very hard to find apartment that owner  would agreed kids live there. We were so excited by kindness of the owner and saw the God`s hand in it! Praise God!

He gave us permit to move furniture and add what we would like.

We really like the apartment is clean! And we plan to add other curtains and more other things to make their nest more comfortable and cozy. ;)

It was sweet surprise for Yaroslava and Kristina. It was exciting to see their surprise and joy. :)

Also they do not eat only once a day! What a great blessing for poor souls!

 Our sister (Yaroslava has accepted Jesus Christ few months ago) is so grateful God! You would see her joy, sparkling eyes and kiss everyone, who bring food for them. Such a blessing to see happy souls! :)

But we have a great need! We rented the apartment with a faith that God will provide funds for this sweet family. :) We simply could not leave them on the street and let them stay homeless... Each month we need to pay $120 for the apartment. So, we kindly ask you for the support of this sweet souls. Would be someone interested to cover needs of the small family, please? Maybe 6 persons can donate $20 each month? Maybe two or one? :) Maybe Church or Bible group? Would be someone interested to devote a small gift of love monthly to stay them safe, cared and loved at the nest? 

You can send donations through PayPal account and leave a note "Housing for Yaroslava and Kristina". Please, email for more info bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks!

Thank you very much, who prayed about Yaroslava and Kristina! Little girl is getting sick often and her mom has difficulties with job. Your prayers would mean so much for them both!

Many thanks for your support and love! Our thanks never will be enough to thank you all! Thanks a lot, who has provided the housing for the small family for a month and feed them! Praising God and celebrate the blessings in lives of the small family!My love to you!!! ♥

Housing for Young Adults - a new project

We start a new project. Young adults do not have place where to go and where to live... Kozak family with their 2 little ones and young lady Yana, who are under BOM support as well. Also often another young adults or families stay for a night or several days. Those, who do not have a place, where to stay for a night.So, for many souls this housing was a nice and safe place.

BOM supports Kozaks for several years already. The couple is very young and still need to learn many life skills and need the help in many vital things.

Grandfather of Yana kicked her out on the street some time ago. At that time young lady had no place, where to go and live. Can you imagine what felt and thought this precious girl?

On the picture. Yana is at school, where she study for cook.I love her beautiful smile here.

Sasha Kozak can not find a job for a very long time. Some people tell him "no", because of his very short stature.

Except this trouble, his wife Olga became very sick. Young mommy visited a doctor sometime ago, he gave a medical prescription. Olga took the medicine but it did not help her. Last week she visited another doctor, who gave her direction to an oncology clinic and he discussed that Olga will be send to hospital for some time. I don`t know how it can be with 2 small kids. That is a big problem! We do not know or medical staff will let that at least small Andrew can be with her mom at hospital. Olga need go through medical test and give analysis to find out exactly her sickness. Doctors can`t find it.

Thanks your support BOM provides food for young people.

Edick, the oldest one, loves his little brother Andrew and likes to play with him.I cannot imagine that all young people and babies can be send or stay on the streets!

Edick is so adorable little man. He is such a treasure and blessing not just for parents but for all of us. We love how he likes to watch, touch, kiss and hug little babies. It is so fun to observe his fellowship with little Artem, who was born recently. So priceless!

Young people will stay at same lovely and warm apartment what was found some time ago.They all need our help. Can we do it together, please?

The goal is to raise $2,350. The money will be enough for renting of apartment for entire year and their daily needs, such as food or medicine and more. Can we help provide housing to protect and secure the young souls?That they would feel loved and safe?

We have just a few weeks. Any amount is very and very helpful!Your participation is greatly appreciated and is a wonderful blessing from the Lord Jesus!

At current moment we ask you.Please, pray God will provide all needed funds for these young people and babies.Pray God will bless with a good doctor Olga, who can help poor girl and for her health also. Olga is very scared and cries. The word oncology makes her afraid and all these medical researches. We very hope that sweet girl  has not a serious sickness.We don`t know. But maybe that is why young lady lost some kilos, became pale and feel weakness often? A week ago, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.

Pray Sasha can find a job and can take care of his sweet family. With the war and unstable the economy in Ukraine it becomes more and more harder...Your prayers, would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you! Thank you very much!!! As always we very thankful for any your help, any your little participation. We can do absolutely nothing without your support!May God bless you!!!

The Sudarik family has a nest!

We are so excited!!!We are so happy Sudarik family(Ruslan and Marina) have a nest!It is a REAL miracle we could find apartment for a day! The owner is a very nice woman and she likes Christians. (If you are a baptist, pentecostal, adventist, charismatic etc you are not a good person and you belong not to church but to a sect. Thoughts of many people in Ukraine today still persist). She was surprised to hear the answer why BOM wants to rent the apartment. And she liked it. Also it was a great second blessing that owner agreed that there would live a couple with newborn baby. Even a broker was surprised, who helped us to find a housing. She could not believe and said, guys you are very lucky that owner agreed! Because mostly owners are not happy to have renters with children. We know it...But we are not lucky, we are blessed :) Aren't we? Lol

We know for sure God's hand was with us and it is the answer to your prayers!So wonderful blessing!Thanks tons!!!

But we have been greatly surprised more, when we learned that apartment has 2 rooms but not one as we were looking for!For the same price as cost apartments with 1 room, we can rent 2 rooms! Wow!That is AMAZING!We believe God has a special plan...We already know who will live in second room in several months. :) We have many young adults who are looking for housing...We have young adults who need place stay for a night, several days, weeks, even months.

We always have a trouble with housing...Isn`t our God marvellous and surprising???How great!!!

The apartment is not in very good condition... The renters before were not very good. So, it is need a lot to clean, wash, to paint then again to clean, clean and clean.

We have very few days to be ready! Wow! So, we have to use extra funds to prepare lovely nest for little Artem. 

Please, remember Marina in your daily prayers. She should give birth precious son during these days. Maybe till the weekends? So, pretty excited!!!

We would love to thank everyone, who helped to make it possible! Thanks your tender love, kindness and great care, little boy Artem will have a warm nest and his parents will not worry, where they will live with their darling son. It will be much less stressful for them! Thanks your step of faith with us one more family is saved from streets! How wonderful!!! Ruslan is very happy! He can't wait to hold in his arms his treasure :)

Our current project still proceeds. The fundraiser is going so well! Praise God!!! We have had 43% of needed funds only for few days! Many, many thanks for your small and big donations. Oh, HOW  good, mercy and generous hand of Jesus to this sweet family! But we still need funds. With humble of hearts we thank you all for your Christian love!Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

Look what prayers can do!!!!

Can we stop this baby from living on the streets?

How would you feel, if you live in this abandoned and terribly cold house?

What you would think, if in a week or so you should bring a newborn baby here?

What your thoughts would be, if you knew that government will not help you and will not give you any penny or cent...

And you don`t have money in your pocket...

You work but the money enough only for a little food...

What you would do, if you do not have place, where to live?

Please, meet young couple, Ruslan and Marina, who's expecting precious baby boy Artem soon. The baby should be born the 20-27 January. Marina is  17 16 years old  student in a trade school. Ruslan is 20 years old young man, who works hard. Both live in a dormitory but after birth of baby they can not live there any more. Ruslan is from big family with 9 children, was abandoned in childhood and grew at an orphanage. Because of alcohol abuse of mother. Marina, was abandoned and abused by mother in childhood also. Mother was beating Marina so strongly that sweet girl has a scars on her body... :(

Today they feel lost and don`t know what to do... They have faced with a big trouble and feel scared...

Marina and Ruslan do not where to go after birth of their precious son...This is very and very scary to be on hands with newborn baby and not having a cozy and warm home!Ruslan, young Christian man, prays every day expecting a miracle...

We had two options how to help them. But seems that the first option will not work out...So, we have a second one, raise funds to stop the baby living on the streets.

When we asked Ruslan or does he have a house for living? He said, yes and showed us this abandoned house...We were hoping that they could live there. But when we came, we were greatly shocked. Since they do not have a place for living he thought to bring his newborn son here... Can you imagine that? Oh, no!!!! Human can not live in such cold and drafty house! We felt so heartbroken. It is such a disappointing...Imagine, the stress the parents must be feeling.It`s grievous cry, Friends!How we can stay away and let the baby live there???

So, our goal is to raise funds for year to help them with renting an apartment. It will cost $1600-1700 and $800 for the needs of precious Artem, a medicine, diapers, with food may parents have... in first months and so on. Also fees $80. Total $2,580

But we already have an awesome blessing! An one family would like to offer a matching grant for $800 for this sweet couple until January 20th. So whatever we will raise for them before January 20th they will match up to $800! The family will send the money sooner if the $800 is raised sooner! How amazing is that!?

Do you wish become a part of this wonderful blessing for young parents? :) God already has started to bless... Can we all be a great miracle for the family?So, we have only few days that this awesome blessing would be doubled!!!

Please donate your miracle gift through the PitchIn widget on the side of our blog.  Or, you can donate directly through Paypal thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com which will remove any fees.We will be sure to update the total amount raised on the side of the blog! 

Would you pray, please for a miracle and for this young family? We have only few days... We have to start to looking for an apartment this week. But we can't not having funds.Would you pray God will lead us to the right place and right owner? Many owners do not like give for rent housing with children and it always stressful for us...We hoping and praying for God's mercy to this lovely family... Ruslan hopes and prays his sweet son and beloved wife would have a safely and warm home.You can become the answer to his prayers! :)

Also may we ask you kindly to share about the need? Would you do, please?Thanks.

Thank you!Thank you very much for any step of faith with us!Thanks a lot for anything you will do for this poor family! Your any step is cherished greatly! May God bless you! ♥

One abandoned little boy

This absolutely breaks my heart friends...It is such a common here and often happens. But sometimes a situation or a story has something special and especially heartbreaking...

In March we visited Zhenya`s family and had a wonderful biblical fellowship with her husband Kolya and her brother Ruslan.

A few days ago we visited Zhenya again. Day seemed was ordinary and as all workaday. All blossom and smells, trees, flowers, people are preparing for sowing, everything looks so wonderful and amazing. You enjoy and delight by beauty of God`s creation.

A small boy Vitya grows healthy and cute little man. He is so precious! His beautiful blue eyes melted my heart  :)

We brought diapers, toys and some clothes.

Also, thanks to your donations we were able to buy groceries for the family.

But there was a boy with a sweet smile on his face. 

-Is he a neighbor boy came to play? we asked. 

-No, this is my nephew,- said sadly Zhenya. Roman cries often and wants to father and mother...

-Where is the mother and father ? What's the matter ?

Mother Roman recently released from prison for murder. Among drunk people killed someone. Father of the boy still is in prison. When he will be out, unknown.

A few months ago, his mother brought this little boy into the house Zhennya and left him there. She abandoned him...Poor little boy...He is only 6 years old.

Zhenya in despair did not know what to do. Tried to find any clothes and take care of the boy. This autumn he should go to school. His aunt Zhenya does not know how to help him and what to do. Thus Roman awhile already lives in this poor family, where the other day must be born another baby...  

This is so and so sad and heartbreaking. But was more heavy to hear that mother of this sweet boy was in orphanage... And in same orphanage, where I have been many years ago. This absolutely breaks my heart. ...Typing this blog post with tears in eyes...It is hard. It is realy hard and hurt. 

It's like a vicious circle. Children left walls orphanages, and then years later, their own children get in the same orphanages. And then again, all the same. And so from year to year... 

I can not stop my tears...It is so hearbreaking and hurt... Knowing the fate and life of some of my classmates. Some no longer alive, they died, some were imprisoned several times, a few of my classmates girls birth of illegitimate children, some drink alcohol. And it's scary. Scary and painful how Satan mocks the fate of orphans.

It is spiritual war, friends. It is longest spiritual God's war in the world for souls, for their salvation. Over two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again to give new life and new heart in Christ. Life is full of meaning, happiness, peace and joy. But the answer to the call of God depends on us. Do we wish this life? New life with a new heart filled with incredible joy in Christ and happiness?The life with a forgiven heart and perfect peace inside?

Jesus told Christians to go and preach the gospel throughout the world. And this spiritual war for souls, goes on for over two thousand years  already.

The BOM`s main goal is to change the terrible statistic of graduates that our country has. That children, who leave orphanages, their temporary homes, could live independent and successful  life for God`s glory and praise.That Jesus has changed their lives and hearts and give meaning to life, as in his time filled ours, BOM team.

Please, pray for graduates we have this year, pray for the current project to bless them with beautiful gifts, pray for their salvation that they trust their precious lives Jesus Christ and follow Him.

Also please, pray for this little abandoned boy Roman. He can be send in orphanage also...Only God can do a miracle that this little precious and sweet soul will not be send there...Thanks.Thank you very much, friends!

Gifts to Graduates-project

These young adults are graduated orphans. They all were abandoned by parents in early childhood and got to baby houses, after were transfered to orphanages. All of them did not know, where to go after leaving orphanages. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine their worries and fear? What they felt at that time?Parents do not wish to see them any more. Some lost their parents and never seen them.  Each of them has teir own heartbreaking story...

Many of you remember how Olga Kozak lived at hospital about month after birth of first baby Edick, because she had not home! She did not have a place, where to go with her beloved newborn son! It`s terrible! Do you remember how suffered Zhenya`s family and how they stayed on the street with sweet baby Vitya? Do you remember about situation with Yaroslava? How she was in high risk to be left on the street.

 These precious souls and many others BOM supports thanks mercy and love of the Lord Jesus, who provides for their needs.We are so thankful to you!!!

 This year few more dear souls should join and become members of our big family. We are really excited! We do not know how everything will turn, what our Heavenly Father prepared and we have no idea from what to start ... But our hearts rejoice and triumph! 

But how about others? How about rest of teen girls and boys, whom we are not able to help?

 Each year we have a special project Gifts to Graduates.Where we bless kids with kitchen utensils, blankets and Bibles. What can be very useful in their lives.

 Orphans, who live in orphanages, leave their temporary homes with empty hands.  They take only their few clothes or whatever they have(if they have of course that mostly do not ) and leave walls of institution forever, without nothing. Do you remember guys, who did not have jackets for winter, shoes and even socks? Some took sweater of their friends to wear because they had not their own? Here is how Father of fatherless blessed them.

These young adults stay on their new threshold life, not knowing where to go and what to do. They became "adults" absolutely not prepared for the life.

This year we have 70 teens, who need our help. The need and our wish is to bless the precious souls by kitchen utensils, blankets, towels and Bibles. The towels only for 20 kids at 10 grade.

Do you know that God already started to bless this special project? We only started to think how to organize this all, about funds etc.And only in few days He sent enough money to buy Bibles for all graduates this year! Wow! How amazing is our God! ;)

Our goal is to raise $1,650. It`s $23,5 for each kid to bless by wonderful gifts. The button PitchIn on right side of the blog will show you process of our current project. Please, prayerfully consider this great need.If you can help even by a little gift, $5, 10, 20..., we would be very grateful on behalf of these orphans!

Please, pray for this project. But mostly for these beautiful souls, who leave orphanages and start independent life.Thank you!Thank you very much for any participation!May God bless you!!!

New Year party

Do you see these beautiful young souls together?I am so excited to tell you what God is doing!

We had  New Year party at our local baptist church. Just would like to clarify we that we do not celebrate a New Year. :) But this is a great opportunity to gather together all friends and dear people.Summarize the past year, to share the blessings and the brightest moments that have been during the year, making plans for next year, pray for God's blessing and just have a great time with the children of God, to those who are dear to your heart.

The greatest desire was to gather our orphans and share the love of the Lord with all of them.A little sad that not all of course could come. We had over 12 young adults. Yay! Nevertheless, we had an amazing time!

At the beginning brother Misha as pastor preached. We came into New Year 2014 all church together in prayer!I love that!

Then we played different Biblical games, for those who are very young in Christ and knows a little Scripture and for those, who knows the Bible well enough.

And then at the end we had very fun time!

Everyone was so excited and had so and so fun!

Also we had  a supper of love.

It reminds me place of Scripture:  (Luke 14:16-17) "Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many. And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready." 

Bible says: (Luke14:12- )"Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."
So, we called poor orphans :)

The supper was so delicious!And we had lots of food! :)

No, we had not eaten all at once! :) The next day we had a meeting again and again we continue the evening and fellowship. And then we gave all food to all the orphans. Everyone was happy!

Some kids had lit sparklers :)

It is interesting that in same chapter Luke 14 is the verse 22 "And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room." 

One of our orphans met a young guy, who wandered in the evening and asked the people to eat. He is homeless and living on the street. Sad, but he is graduate of an orphanage... Yes. This is reality. Without the support, these children live on the street, are survive and just disappear... Our guy invited him to this supper, because we had plenty of room!

He took a shower(we have at church for homeless) and gave him clean clothes.

This guy the name is Sergey, he has a lot of not only physical needs, such as housing and daily bread. We found him temporary shelter. But also spiritual needs, from which he suffers. Therefore, almost all night our pastor Misha spoke with Sergey about his life, about that he needs Jesus, which can fill of joy, love and happiness an emptiness that he has in a heart. We know that there is still a lot of spiritual work with this guy, still a lot of hours spent and not enough slept nights. But is not that what Jesus has called us ? Could you please pray for the salvation of this soul , of the change both his heart and mind.Thanks.

I like as one of our donors said, "I hope you have a wonderful party, that bellies are feed and hearts are full knowing Jesus loves all of them." And this happened! The spending time was absolutely amazing!

We had a wonderful fellowship!Some orphans first time in life was at church and hear the Gospel. Some first time in life had fellowship with Christians. Some probably first time in their life could hear and see how Jesus loves them and desires to change their life.

Thousands times thank you to those, who helped to make it happen!Jesus is so awesome!  :)

Wonderful news about Zhenya`s family!

Can you believe that Zhenya`s family moved AGAIN?Oh, my!Poor, poor souls...How many times they should to move to finding a better place?It would be so stressful for me...

This is very small house where lives Zhenya, her husband Kolya and sweet Vitya.Of course, the house leaves a lot to be desired...

It's like the girls opened the gate that the van drove into the yard.

 Zhenya has no washing machine and all the clothes she washes her hands.This is how dry wet clothes, even when there is no sun.

 Other side of the house

But inside is a small healthy man, who brings such a joy to his parents. Isn`t he beautiful? :)

 Even there only an one very tiny room, Zhenya and Kolya happily live there.We were very glad that house is warm. There is gas system, that helps to keep house warm.

That this precious small sunshine, grow and stay warm with his lovely parents.

Vitya has his first teeth. What a joy to parents! :)

It made ​​us smile and warmed our hearts. When serving tea,  Zhenya put the cup and dishes on the table, what were given to graduates of orphanages this year. It warms the heart and soul, when we  meet graduates, we see that they use the blessing that has been done by many of you. :) We are waiting to begin this exciting Projects next spring, a few months!

But the most wonderful news that I wanted to share with you. A one Christain lady has provided(gave for renting)  this little house to this precious family, absolutely free! They need to pay only for the electricity and gas. 

Kolya and Zhenya were forced to move out of this house. Every night came drunk people and harassed the family. Life became unbearable. This poor family were forced to move out of the house in search of another quiet place.

Kolya also found a good job. Seemed impossible and he was not sure he could find a job at all in this small town . But what is impossible for the Lord ? Just when this family moved to this town , the local authorities have started to build a bread factory and they needed workers . Thus a young father has a job! Even for some time, but he is able to feed his family. How wonderful !

Zhenya also began attends communities Christian believers. It's a bit far for them to come each meeting to our local Bible Baptist Church. When they can. They attend our church as well. Wonderful, what God is doing !

A few months ago we had an urgent prayer request for this family, as they stayed on the street . But look what the Lord has done! They have, though very small, but warm house. They are happy to live there! Kolya has a job. Zhenya started attending church services. And another. Little Victor in April will be the older brother! Kolya and Zhenya expect another baby. :)

So, so happy for this family!See what love and prayers CAN DO!Thank you, Friends!Thank you so VERY MUCH!!!!!!! I believe, thanks to your many prayers, God has done all these blessings. :) This is amazing what power of prayer can do!This is such wonderful blessing, when several hundreds brothers and sisters in Christ can pray together and bring glory to the Lord Jesus! How awesome is that? :)

Would you, please continue to pray for this sweet family? Both parents are former orphans, who still need so great support...Thanks.
