ONLY 2 weeks to REUNITE the FAMILY!!!

   OK. Our ministry is gaining a slightly different turn...

   Dear friends we only have 2 weeks to save the family !!! Yesterday, the Children's Affairs Service called the mother of two of our sweet girls to deprive of parental rights, and appoint me the guardian of the girls as they live with us! Sveta, 16 and Luba, 17. It was a real war! The poor mother cried inconsolably... It was all painful and scary to watch. It is terrible how the world is cruel and how Satan wants to break up the family and sow bitterness, tears, pain, disappointment and grief. We began to stand up for the poor mother and asked the Social Service to give her a chance to start a new life. She is addicted to alcohol but cannot stop because of her surroundings. Due to alcohol addiction, she is not able to fulfill parental duties and obligations. She has no home. She lives anywhere.She is homeless... Therefore, the girls not only have nowhere to come home for the holidays.They have nowhere to go at all!!! Therefore, they spent all their childhood in the Children`s Home and then in a orphanage... There was a time when a young woman did not abuse alcohol and worked since she lived somewhere. So, we have a hope! Her friends and surroundings have a huge impact on her. The Children's Affairs Service gave 2 weeks for the mother to find housing and work. If in 2 weeks she does not solve this issue, she will be deprived of parental rights!!! This is terrible! But today we have a chance to save this precious family! Let the sweet girls live with their beloved mother!

  We immediately began to look for a housing at our city so that she immediately moved! We have VERY little time!She does not work, so she is starving. :( She has absolutely no livelihood! While a woman finds work, she will need funds and her children for food, at least for a month. Also help pay for housing for several months until everything is settled down.

  Can you imagine what happiness it is when the whole family is together, mom and her precious children! Indeed, the very first family was created by our Creator in the Garden of Eden. What a relief for all of them not to worry about each other. So that the girls do not worry about what happened to their mother, is she still alive? What a joy when the whole family will come to the meeting of our church and hear the Word of God! Not only girls but their mother can hear the Word of Salvation, about hope, forgiveness, Christ love, hope and much more! Tears of happiness are pouring down my cheeks when I think about what an incredible happiness it is to see all of them together joyful and happy !!! What a blessing it is when their mother sees the love of Christ and the care of their family through Christians! The woman ceased to feel like a mother and a woman. She feels exhausted and completely lonely... Through this care, we can become her friends and the only salvation!

We need to raise $900. Each donation can be a salvation for these girls to stay with their mother forever! Is it not for this that God called us to sow goodness, hope and love? Isn't that what the Lord calls us to do, to give people a chance and hope while they are alive? Yesterday, the girls were upset and cried. If we do not help, the family will be destroyed and one of the girls will go to the orphanage again! Can you imagine their tears of happiness when the family reunited???Satan destroys families but God creates! Will you become a part of the reuniting of this sweet family, please?

We believe with all hearts God is going to create something beautiful and amazing!!! ♥♥♥

Mom of 6 teenagers!

If someone told me a few years ago that you would be the mother of six teenagers. And they all will live in your small and cramped apartment. I would say that this is not for me. "No! No! What are you! Never, ever in my life!!!" And I would laugh out loud! :)))

Welcome three more teens to our family! Two beautiful young ladies and a teenager boy.

Sveta, 15 and Natasha,15

Vova, 14

   Yes, it is noisy, and we have a lot of inconveniences. One bathroom, a very small kitchen, very crowded where everyone pushes each other, the girls sleep in small beds in three and much more. But the children are happy!  Sveta is in the 10th grade of a regular/hight school, Vova is in the 9th grade, and Natasha is studying as a hairdresser. 

  The life is crazy here! We are super busy with kids!Some children require a lot of attention!!! The last few months I sleep for 5-6 hours. Iam so happy when I can sleep 7 hours! :))) I am learning to be more organized to take care of children and to continue serving in orphanages. Learning. A lot of learning...Now I understand more large families! Lol

  We see how children change and learn something new. We learn together :) They learn to take care of their things, use household appliances, keep order in the house, be responsible and much more.

Sveta and Natasha learn how to buy and save money

Well, and most importantly, learn to forgive, enjoy and be thankful for small things, help each other, enjoy life and just love.

   Every Sunday our family goes to church where children can hear the Gospel and be in fellowship with Christians.

  

    Our main goal through life in the family is not only to teach the main life skills but to show the care and love of Christ. So that one day the Lord would become their Heavenly Father and Comforter.

Girls do their school homework

Precious girl rejoices of the fountain

  There are so many different difficulties besides teenage behavior problems... Difficulties with the government, documents, a lot of confusion and different nuances. I don’t know how long these children will be able to live with us. But every day for me is another opportunity to show the love of Christ. Every day is another opportunity to comfort, encourage, hug, teach something new, share the Word of God and just love. It`s a great joy and privilege! ♥♥♥

  We also have financial difficulties. Every day we need to give children funds for bus and meals at the school. Often in the school they need to buy notebooks, books and various things. Only $40.00 a month is needed for an one kid for bus ticket and meal at school.All children have digestive problems, with teeth, etc. They often complain of abdominal pain, often get sick. Some eat a lot because they were hungry at their homes and orphanages. We need to help children become healthy so that they can study well and enjoy life. We spend a lot of finances on food and hygiene products, in addition to other needs. 

We need someone whose heart belongs to orphans. Someone who has burden in heart for teens. Someone who can adopt these beautiful children in their heart and support monthly.

These are orphans, whose parents are alive but abuse alcohol and do not fulfill their parental responsibilities. Children visit their parents from time to time. Recently, one of the girls said. When I sleep in cold and  dirty bed in the village in the house visiting my parents, I cannot wait to return here (home to us) to a clean, warm and soft bed. :)

Yes, when they return from the villages, they take a shower and wash their clothes. There is no running water, no firewood, no electricity, no livelihood. Nothing!

  If the Lord touches your heart to bless these beautiful souls bloom and become successful members of our society, you can send your gift of love through Ting Ministries. Please, consider this need prayerfully!

Would you join me in asking our great God for prayers of strength, inspiration, and strong physical and emotional my health, God`s wisdom, and His patience, please? And for my beloved sister Oksana.Would you join us in prayer for changing hearts and minds and for the salvation these sweet teens? That God will bless and provide for all their needs. And that God bless and placed these precious souls where they are needed to be...

The transformation of housing(before and after)

We are super excited that we finally finished a HUGE project and the Kozak family moved to their new lovely home!!! How awesome! The transformation of housing is amazing! Olya and Sasha are VERY happy, VERY much appreciate this huge blessing and they are VERY THANKFUL to you all!!! ♥♥♥ They could not even think that this could happen sometime in their life. Such a large and wonderful change in their house! 🏠

Olga has long been dreaming of a bunk bed for her boys. What a wonderful a surprise was not only for mother but for her precious sons! Edik and Anrew are soooo very excited about their new bed! Olya burst into tears, when she saw a new electric stove and an oven. "It was my dream! And I could not believe my own eyes!" And tears sprinkled from the eyes of the young mother... ♥ We are happy for sweet mommy.

Here are few pics from their housing before and after...

You can see the short video where are more photos ;)

                                

Thank you VERY MUCH for participating!!! Thank you all for this great miracle and that you touch the hearts of young people and make a HUGE contribution to their lives! Thank you for being a wonderful miracle in the lives of many hearts!!! You can not even imagine what this house means for this sweet family and what a precious blessing you are for the BOM... But God knows :) We glorify and praise God for each of you!We love you!!! ♥♥♥

Heartbreaking truth

Honestly I don't know from what to start... Because I feel sad and heartbreaking. It hurts and disappoints. I simply can not find words.

A while ago we raised funds for Sudarik family. They had a great need with housing. They had no where to go with their sweet newborn Artem!

We were super excited that so many people generously donated! Also we were able to find an apartment very soon and we could to renovate a little to prepare the lovely nest. Very soon precious Artem arrived to lovely, warm and safe home. It was such amazing and such a wonderful blessing!!! Our hearts were full with pure joy for this sweet family! We were so very happy they were safe, saved from hunger, terrible cold, had lovely nest and all together with their newborn son. We saw God`s hand in many small details! Our joy was no end!!!

But Ruslan and Marina suffered. Like a lot of young families, they were not ready to live together... They suffered emotionally very much. Quarrels, fights, tears, disagreement, etc. We helped as best we could. Gave consultation, advised, prayed, fasted. But one day Marina just left the home... Since then, we have not seen her any more. We tried to find her to drive to other cities, call, trying to find any connection. But all this is to no avail. :( All that we know. Marina is alive and her son Artyom with his mother. Both Ruslan and Marina live separately.

It breaks my heart... I`m sad that we could not save this family. I know we can not save all. We can not help all around. But knowing both young people in person, it is heartbreaking... Their wounded hearts only Jesus Christ can heal. Only through Him they will be able to forgive each other. Only in Him they can find rest in the souls and hearts.Please, remember them both in your prayers!

But the apartment is not empty. :) Today there live two wonderful young people, who have nowhere to go. Vova and Sasha are very pleased that the Lord has given them housing. Also often other young men stay for a night, few days or weeks, who need a temporary help to stay somewhere.

 Recently we were approached by a young man, who asked to stay temporarily. Because the dormitory of trade school, where he studies is closed for the summer and he has nowhere to go. 

Cause of God does not stop! This house became a refuge and safety for many young people already. :)

We are so very grateful, who helped before and today still helps that not only Sasha and Vova, but other young guys have a place, where to lay their heads! A sweet and lovely place where they feel safe and warm in cold seasons!

Huge enormous thank you for your kindness and generosity! Many thanks for your kindness and loving heart for these young men! Many young people simply have nowhere to go! Many of them are simply homeless. Thank you! Thank you very much that you are such a great blessing to them!

One more year of hope and safety!

Hello everybody! We would love to thank you all who participated in our last Project! 

We are so very excited that sweet Kozak family with their 2 little kiddies and Yana will have one more year of hope and safety! We are so very glad that many precious young souls will have a place to stay for several days or so, when they need. What a great blessing that kids will not stay hungry and young adults will get the most necessary medical help. Yay! You are AMAZING! Really. We have raised all funds less than a week! Wow! Awesome blessing!

Thank you all, who prayed and donated! Thank you all, who shared the word about the Project and was with us at this time! Thank you to give them a special gift, a housing, hope, safety, care and love! THANK YOU to all many times!!!!

A special gift for the young adults

Now is season of holidays all over the world. Everyone buy, prepare different gifts to families, friends etc.

But the young adults, who are under BOM support concerning about their special gift, it is housing. They realize that they do not have where to go and they may become homeless. 

The sweet family Kozaks. I love precious smiles of those 2 little men :)

And our beautiful young lady Yana.

Last year thanks to many generous and kind people we raised funds. It was huge and awesome blessing for what we are so thankful to God and you all! But some things happened unexpectedly and we had to spend more funds than we hoped and planned. Besides all expenses. Olga was very sick several times, so she was necessary funds for medical tests and medicine. After birth of Andrew her teeth became not good. BOM provided the help too. Also during the year Sasha worked maybe only 3 months. He has some issue. He struggle and trying the best he can. After spending all childhood in orphanage not seeing and not knowing what is the family. Many young people is greatly suffer emotionally. And they need our help as well. Thanks prayers of God`s children and mercy of Jesus Christ, Kozak family is doing much better.

Yana is great helper for Olga with her kiddies. When young mother need to go somewhere for a short time and more, Yana helps, when it is possible. Is not wonderful blessing from the Lord? :) 

Also, there often spend the night young people, who have nowhere to go or it is need to stay in the city a few days. Lonely or young families with children. Yes, there is a lot of kids often.Such a blessing! :)

Olga, Sasha, Yana and many young people need your help again. We can not leave the family Kozak live independently because they are not ripe emotionally, they have a lot more to learn, and most importantly they have nowhere to go with their precious kiddies.

We need to raise $2940 this time. $1,750 for rent of apartment for entire year. $1,100 for living allowance, food, medicine etc. And fee on PayPal. 

This year we need bigger amount because of unstable economy in Ukraine, clothes, food became much expensive. For example: rice %110,  meat %70, eggs %60, vegetables %34,  peas %50, buckwheat %150. Gas became expensive %285, heating in 3 times more, electricity %25, etc. It means owners will put price up for apartments also.  This month people received bills for heating around 800-1300 uah(hryvnia) ($33-$55) If a person makes per month $55. It means a whole his salary he should pay just for heating. There are no money pay for other utilities, food, medicine and other expenses.Pensioners receive about 1,000 hryvnia($42) pension. This means that they are not able to pay utility bills at all.People are shocked and scared. Sasha makes $50-60 per month.

Since we have a big problem with PayPal. We have only 5 days to raise at least some of the necessary funds that help these sweet young people.

We do not know, if we rise the entire amount... Because time is very short. But we will be inordinately grateful for any amount of money! Every day and every donation is very, very precious. 

Please, prayerfully consider the matter. Every little gift of love is very valuable and very able to help. Even $5 is precious in God's eyes. Can you help please Yana, Olga, Sasha and their kids Edick and Andrew are not stay homeless? Stay safe and warm. Present them this Special Gift .

No matter how much we raise, we will be grateful to God. He knows the best time and how much necessary. His time is perfect!

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?

If you have a desire to show the God's love to these young Christians, our brothers and sisters. You can send your gift of love using the blue button PitchIn on the blog.

Also you can send a blessing through PayPal thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Please, leave a note, "housing for young adults".

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!!!!

What we have done.

We cleaned out the yard from garbage and trash.

That save money, we painted a window and plan to place glass there in near future.

We chopped wood.Some young adults learned to chop wood and were very excited to do it.

The nice neighbours of this poor family saw that we help and started to help too and then their children also. How exciting and amazing! As the result their children came to church and heard the Gospel. Hopefully neighbours will come to church some day too. Some of them are really interested know more about God.

Yana was pretty excited that she learned and can chop firewood :)

Little Vitya saw how adults worked and decided to help to "chop" firewood too. It was so sweet to watching how he wanted take part in it. :)

This precious little man wanted so much to help and take part! It was so priceless to watch how he helped his parents. ♥

Children of neighbours helped with firewood.

BOM with your help bought more firewood what will be enough for all winter and hopefully till Spring while will be cold weather. Yay!Thank you!

Dinner time

We have replaced old and rotten floor for new one.

I love how it looks!

 We have changed all electric stuff for new. There were too old electric cords what would make a fire.

Sasha learned how to work with electric wires .

The forecast showed that all week will rain. But God answered our prayers and we had just a little rain. We praise God for His mercy and goodness to this sweet family!But nights are too cold now! This poor family feels cold. Zhenya catch cold and little Vitya too. :( Not surprised. Factually this family sleeps outside... One night Zhenya waked up and found Nazar so cold that she thought he is dead. She was so scared! To save baby we took to my home. He lives for several days at my home already. Baby Nazar is so precious and sweet little boy!  Finally we can replace windows and door tomorrow! Praise God!!!

Zhenya and Kolya are very happy and they have a hope to stay in warm house this winter. There are so so much work to be done! Zhenya always says, "everything becomes so beautiful! " What a great and amazing blessing to the family! ♥
