Would you pray for healing please?

We need your support in many prayers, dear Friends.God has made so many miracles in BOM ministry to precious children and personal lives of the team as well.
And now we ask for mercy of the Lord Jesus and miracle in life of a one small 11 years old girl Vlada.She is a sweet and Jesus-loving girl, daughter of Nadya, member of BOM team.

Recently, when this sweetie started complaining of headaches often and fainted. It frightened her loving mother and she decided to visit the doctor together with the kid. The diagnosis was made to this girl, a Maxillary Sinus Cyst of a nose. :(

We never heard about it but here what I have found.

Common Symptoms

Symptoms such as headaches; facial pain, including in a tooth or eye; chronic sinus infection; pressure; and swelling can be experienced if a maxillary sinus cyst grows too large or lies in a sensitive area. These cysts can form near the opening of an ostium, a tube that allows the sinus to drain, and can close off the opening. This causes increased facial pain and swelling because of the prevention of normal drainage.

Diagnosis
To diagnose a maxillary sinus cyst, a computed axial tomography (CAT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam is performed. Other testing, such as an electronystagmogram (ENG), which measures eye movement, might be necessary to rule out other causes of the patient's symptoms. In some cases, a doctor might perform an endoscopy, in which a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera on one end is used to examine the sinuses.

Surgery
Medical treatments used when a maxillary sinus cyst becomes infected or large enough to cause significant symptoms consist mainly of courses of antibiotics and surgery. Traditionally, open sinus surgery was the only option, bringing the potential for scarring and a long recovery time. The effort to avoid risks such as these has caused endoscopic sinus surgery to grow in popularity. In endoscopic surgery, the entire procedure is done by viewing the image sent from a tiny camera that is inserted through the nostril of the patient. After the cysts is surgically removed, a biopsy might be performed to ensure that it was not cancerous.   Taken from HERE 
 We kindly ask you to pray for completely healing of Vlada.But the greatest problem in that that the doctor can't appoint treatment for Vlada. Because it is necessary to pass completely medical testing. The doctor says that probably it will be necessary to do surgery, but at first it is necessary to do sound medical judgement. It costs huge money. Nadya feels absolutely helpless... As mother, she worries and concern for the daughter, but can't help. Therefore her hope and a trust only on God's mercy. 
"For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from my youth". 
Psalm 71:5(KJV)
Our blog read the majority of mothers, who have their own children. I think, you can understand how Nadia hurts and what her heart feels for the child. Nadya is my best friend.My heart hurts because her heart hurts for her childie.Please, pray that the Lord would bless this sweet girl and provided to her all necessary to do medical testing and doctor appointed treatment to her  or will probably have to do surgery. One God knows...
With the broken heart, we graciously ask you to pray for this situation for this child. If the Lord moves your heart and gives you a wish to show attention, care and God's love to this small precious girl, you can send your blessings through PayPal thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com. Many thanks for all your love and kindness!May God bless you!My love to all!
P.S.Certainly, I will inform, if there are any changes...

Pictures of wedding

God is SO and soooooooo good, Friends!I`m so happy to thank you for prayers and tell you a little about wedding!

In the beginning the groom and the bride undersigned for a local Registry Office.

When they left the building, we congratulated them blowing in a soapy bubbles. They liked idea. Sometimes people shower of newlyweds with petals of roses, rice, whom than to be pleasant.  
I very much worried, and what if there will  be a rain? And what if the wind will blow not in that party? But everything turned out fine. On a photo it can't is so visible. Probably is not so successful photo. Because I ran, all solved, made pictures, was generally occupied. But it was so awesome and beautiful! Very much it was pleasant to newlyweds and they were delighted. The surprise means it was successful. And this is most important! :)

Then, there was a beautiful wedding ceremony in church.





After that there was 3 hour walk where friends, relatives, generally everybody, made pictures with the groom and the bride and who with whom wanted.

At the end of day all invited celebrated this lovely celebration at restaurant.


We not only ate, but sang, acted out a ridiculous scenes about marriage and played games. It was very amusing and cheerful.

One of games.Here the bride with flippers standing, had to burst all balloons in which there inside were coins.You can imagine, how it looks to burst balloons by flippers. :))) It was funny very much!

 Then the groom, by means of boxing gloves on hands, has to collect all coins on flippers of the bride. This game is called "financial bubbles". As it wasn't easy to collect to the groom coins, as it isn't easy to earn money what to support a family. It was so much fun!

At the end of wedding, newlyweds cut a wedding cake and treated all.

I`m so and so thankful dear Friends for all your prayers!God blessed this wedding soooooo amazingly!
The bride, groom, friends, relatives, another word, everyone loved the wedding and enjoyed this day very much!

We had so many little blessings during preparation and in wedding day.When we counted it was a lot!
Here are some of them:

  • The bride and groom had some trouble with renting car before the day of their wedding. But God so miraculously blessed to decide this trouble! 
  • Some part of decoration at church, I did for 20 minutes! About 40 minutes before guests had to come. Wow! I could not believe my own eyes! I was thrilled  and thanked God so much! Because I made same part of decoration before the day of wedding about hour and half. Then I had not time to do it, because we practised, prepared other things for this day and after it was very late.I went to sleep at 2.00 AM.
  •  I woke up in 2 hours, at 4.00 AM and absolutely felt very well thanks God. 
  • God blessed me in preparing of the program for wedding.All these weeks we prepared for this special day but I absolutely had not time prepared the program.Can you believe it? I was worry very much! And was ready to scream! What I will do? What I will say to the bride and groom, to guests etc, etc? I understood very well it was so important.I tried to find  a time every day but it was impossible. You will not believe! When I woke up in this beautiful day of wedding at 4.00 AM I prepared program for 2 hours!One more miracle! I believe with all my heart that my awesome Heavenly Father led and blessed. He was near me at this time.Praise God!
  • Many unbelievers came to church for wedding ceremony and could, not only saw but hear, how it should be marriage, relationship between husband and wife etc.
  • Some unbelievers, who did not like Christians, could be on wedding from the beginning and to the end. They were blown away by all things at this day and liked very much. They even took part in wedding party and helped in some things. Christian people who know them, were greatly impressed and could not believe their behaviour. We believe, they changed their thoughts about Christians. :)
  • And one more amazing blessing. We had rainy weeks lately. We prayed and pleaded Jesus Christ make a miracle. We checked the weather every day. At this day all forecasts said there should be rain. But it was not! No any drop! We all were so excited and overjoyed! The weather was amazing!It was not hot and even in second part of day was sunny. We wanted that it was nice weather for pictures. God did it!And rain was next day but not in wedding day! Awesome blessing!

THANK YOU so very much from bottom of our hearts for all your prayers!I believe, God made so many miracles because of your support, dear Friends. :)  It`s so awesome to have such wonderful and sweet friends!You are so amazing blessing!Many, many thanks and hugs to you!

An one broken heart

I`m not very good blogger for 10 days already.I am so sorry. :( We are busy with visit of orphans and another our mission work.I absolutely have not time.But I very hope and will try to find a time soon, to update what is going on here.Thank you for understanding.
                                  **********************************
But here I would love so much ask you to pray for a one precious soul with a broken heart and so lonely.Our hearts ache and are so sad.

After the Bible meeting with kids when our team already collected things that to come back home. One guy approached and started asking some questions of God and to disprove that he doesn't believe in that that the Bible speaks. I having looked back around, noticed that the team can handle without me,  having collected all things. This guy needs time to talk.

Having communicated some time and quoting, reading  places of Scripture from the Bible and arguing, he rejected everything and told it all is a lie and continued to argue.

At the end I told:
-Do you want to tell, that the Bible deceives?
-Yes! He in the affirmative answered.
-Is it mean God is a liar too?
-Yes.There was his answer.

I didn't believe that he told the truth because he promised to start reading the Bible before. In some moments he contradicted to himself.
-I believe, very deep in your heart that you believe in God and everything He says in the Bible.You just does not wish to accept it for some reason,- I continued .
He did not answer.
Hmm.. I told him.
-Vitaly, seems to me you not about it want to talk. You are interested not in it.
-How do you know?! There was a surprised question.
I smiled.
-I`m not 16 years old. I am a little older than you and I see you well.
Probably my answer wasn't so well. But he told that I was right.
Then I told in the affirmative as in it I was confident. I noticed he looked for reason to speak with someone.
-Something disturbs you and about it you would like to talk.
-No, no!
We having left a class already and continued to communicate. I told.
-Ok.when time will come, you can talk about your feelings.
-No. No! I don't want! He hid his head in a jacket hood, pulling on himself, trying to cover his anxiety but walk around me.
-Ok. You do not mind if we would pray for you?
-No, I don't want! God will not help me! Already nobody will help me,- he said in low tones having turned away aside. His face dropped and he was grieved.

For an instant I thought. Well. Probably he wasn't ready... Probably not time yet. Probably he was afraid to open...Thoughts were turning in the head. But very much it was clearly visible that something disturbed him. We will pray that the Lord would help him and healed his broken and wounded heart, I thought... At the end I told him.
-Vitaly, remember that you are special for the Lord. He loves you and wants to help you. He loves you, want you it or no. I believe with all my heart that He has a special plan for your life.
I thought that on it our conversation stopped...

 In a moment other boy ran up to our van, called me that to resolve an issue with a gift on Birthday. Having left him for sisters to solve it, I returned to Vitaly and was surprised... He didn't leave. He didn't want to leave! He approached and continued to communicate with brother Misha. And he opened, friends... At this moment, when I absolutely didn't expect!
  He told us his heart pain and troubles. His mother got to hospital. He doesn't know what with her. He worries about her. And is next sorrow... I type and my heart feel his heartstrings, so bitterly and so sadly. Tears in eyes. His brother got to road accident and is in coma. Doctors don't give chance of life... I can't tell all details. Probably his brother already died. Vitaly doesn't know all details.It is so heartbreaking. But he is very afflicted and grieved. He is as the wounded bird who needs healing and the help...
It is awful! He is in a orphanage. Alone. There is nobody to talk. Also can't be near his relatives...How it can be?

Also he told us that wants to get rid of addictions as alcohol and smoking. But he can't. He wants something new, and to live  another way. It very much surprised me. Because a short time ago. He laughed and spoke "vodka and cigarettes, it is everything that is necessary for life!" Certainly, it has broken our hearts. I don't remember what we spoke to him about it then.

But last Saturday we had a wonderful meeting with teenagers in this orphanage and spoke about a choice. Also about alcohol, smoking, drugs and about consequences.

We promised to arrive in 2 weeks again, if God allows. There a week passed. Today he came running before the Bible lesson with younger kids and asked. Why you did not arrive today to us, to older children? We reminded him that agreed to meet teenagers in 2 weeks, but not in a week. Today is turn of younger kids. So, it seems that before a meeting he already looked for communication and waited, when we will finish.

When we continued to communicate with Vitaly, one of teachers approached and started speaking what he is the difficult and disobedient child. I believe that much more he would tell us, but he having again hidden his face in a jacket hood, escaped... So sad.And on it our communication interrupted...

I think. Whether teachers and orphanage administration spoke with him. Why he so behaves? Whether he spoke openly with them? Did he opened  the heart? Whether they were interested, when or why the anger and offense he pours out on others? Whether they know in general, what now occurs in his family? Whether they know pain of his heart? Whether they see why he hides and concealed?
I have the answer...But I so much want to be wrong...

Friends. Our pleading and prayer is for Vitaly. He is only 16 years old, and he was already tired of everything … Please, pray that the Lord Jesus healed his heart and soul. That the Lord would make a miracle in his family. That the Lord healed this lonely soul in search of truth and a consolation. That he will give his heart to Jesus. The friend is necessary to this guy. Someone is necessary, to whom he will be able to trust and open the heart. Someone is necessary, to whom he will be able to pour out all the bitterness and pain.

I already wait for the next Saturday more, from that again to talk to him and to console him. Instead of from that that to meet all teenagers. Though we wish it very much, as well we plan.I think as for guy, it will be better to talk to him to brother Misha.

Would you pray, please for heart and soul healing of Vitaliy?Would you, please, remember him in your daily prayers?He has a hard time now. He needs Jesus so much.Thank you so much!

Gifts to Graduated Teenagers

We begin a new project what we do each year, to raise funds and present gifts to graduated teenagers.

Every year thousands of orphaned teenagers graduate orphanages and start to live independent life.
But there is a big tragedy that they aren't prepared absolutely for independent life! They as baby birds not taught still to fly, already leave the nests. 

Teenagers aren't able to distribute money. Don't know also how and where look for work, housing. If find work, the long time is very difficult to settle and be kept by it there. Many of them live in poverty, without having means of life.Even in trade schools when they study there.

Many do not have a house that to return from orphanages and to live there. If there is a house, so it is impossible to live because a horrible condition there. Therefore these children without having means and hope, having seen the house in such condition, start wandering and begging on streets, that though somehow to survive.

A one orphan lives in this house
For those, who does not know.Here is a testimony of brother Misha, Director of Bible Orphan Ministry.How he suffered and survived after leaving an orphanage.

Many of teens get to the bad companies, start stealing, get to prisons. Girls give birth to unwanted children and refuse them... Some at the age of 15-16 years aren't able to read and count numbers. When buy something in shops, they never count the money  how many the seller returned, trusting her/him. 
These children can be easily deceived. After all how they can see reality, having spent all the years of life behind walls of orphanages? They not up to the end realize on how many in the world there is an evil and how swindlers can use having gained their confidence.

Did you ever think that graduated teenagers are in high risk to get in slave-trade?
They are very easy "product" because no one will not look for them. Even those, who have parents who left their children, these teens will not be looked for.If parents do not visit them  in baby house or children`s home, in orphanages and institutions during their childhood. Do you think they will be interested in lives of their children after graduation?Often children do not want to see their parents and do not contact with them by years.

Here is a short video of reality.
                         

On the first year of independent life, after leaving an institutions, suffering and surviving, all children want to return back to orphanages...

Those, whom we able, we support by delivering food, clothes, different items, medical treatment, have Bible study and we call it "Lessons of Life", where they learn all necessary life skills.



Every year we deliver Bibles, cooking utensils, blankets to help in needs of graduated children.
HERE  we delivered gifts last year to one of orphanages.

This year we have 58 souls, who are going to leave orphanages.Our goal is to raise $1,520 to buy these wonderful gifts to them.We are very thankful to Ten For Orphans and Grace Haven Ministries wishing to help BOM and take part in this fundraising.

We need your help in spreading the word by any way how the Lord Jesus will guide you and give you an idea.But most of all pray.Please, pray God will provide needs of these children and send all means to bless them.
If the Lord give you a wish to bless them. Tax Deductible donations can be made here .http://www.tenfororphans.org/donate-now  Where it says Grace Haven Ministries.
Or on the right side of our blog, where it says Donations for Graduators.(Tax Deductible also)

If you willing to donate directly to BOM. Donations can be made  here thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Just select option "I'm sending money to family or friends" and leave a note that this gift is to graduates.

The website Chip-in does not work any more and we can not set it up on our blog. The thermometer on the right side, will show how much we raised.

THANK YOU very much for any your help and involvement!God bless you!

Vova needs the help and prayers

Vova is one of the sweet guys, whom BOM supports.We love him for his kind heart and a desire always to help when he can.
Right now Vova is in hospital and he needs our help and prayers for his health and that the Holy Spirit strengthen him.

 The matter is that many teens having been "age out" from orphanages, have bad teeth. BOM helps them to treat and resolve this issue. Vova has not good teeth also. Some can still be treated and some need to pul  out already. He suffers every day with a toothache. Thus we learned that the dentist can't treat his teeth, because Vova can't breathe by nose. He breathes through the mouth all the time!When we asked him, why he did not tell us earlier.He just gave a shrug of the shoulders. 

We learned that this sweet guy has this problem for a long time since the childhood. Someone beat him in a orphanage and he has an internal trauma in a nose. He many times asked employees of the orphanage to help him. He was surveyed and there had to be an surgery. But years went and he didn't have it... Therefore he still suffers, can not breathe and because of it can't treat teeth which hurt to him. He can't sleep, can't eat. All he can do, it  suffer from the pain.
Vova volunteers in an orphanage 
About half the year ago the state worker that works with orphans, had to help Vova with it. We spoke and reminded many times. But everything is ineffectual. Time goes but the guy suffers... Therefore BOM decided to take an initiative and to help him. We prayed and the Lord met the need! We found the doctor that agreed to do a surgery for Vova. And the next, during a one day Vova made all necessary tests, was examined by doctors and made everything that was necessary for him during a one day. And in the same day he was put in hospital! Wow! Honestly, we  absolutely didn't expect that so everything very quickly will occur. Even some people (the state workers in work with orphans) were surprised that staff of BOM made everything during one day. Undoubtedly, in it the God's hand is visible!

Thus, tomorrow in 8.30-9.00 AM morning on the Ukrainian time. Vova will have the surgery.Please, will you pray for him, the surgery will be successful and Holy Spirit give peace in his heart?He is worry much and almost cries.Poor guy...

Tomorrow in the morning we can visit him, the doctor let us know.

But there is a small problem. We have to pay for everything. We explained to the doctor that Vova is the orphan, etc. But the doctor explained that in this hospital department has no meaning, either the orphan, or poor or rich, all have to pay. Thus, we kindly ask you to help this sweet guy with it. God already started to bless and showed His hand.We need to pay $400.We already have $175 for Vova.It necessary $225 more.
You can send your gift of love to Vova through the chip-in on the right side of our blog.Thank you so much!

After surgery when Vova will pass small rehabilitation and becomes healthy. We will need to help him with teeth. We don't know how much it will cost. But it isn't expensive, it`s exactly.For example BOM paid around $30.00 to treat 5-6 teeth to one of our guys before.But for Vova we do not know yet.

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also we ask you to pray concerning Vova's registration. It`s one more big trouble this guy has!

The state worker that works with orphans, promised to us that will register Vova and everything will be good. We were glad. BOM helped Vova will get trade school, where he studies now. Every month he got a stipend. But this month he didn't receive. We were shocked that Vova didn't get a stipend, because he still not registrated! It was a miracle that Vova without having a registration, got a stipend before. That person, who had and is his duty, absolutely made nothing!It made us unhappy! Besides this, the  person also threatened him, that Vova remains on the street, if speaks much. We spoke with the director of trade school, where Vova studies, concerning a stipend. That they would resolve somehow this issue. 

It make us unhappy and upset.It screaming of soul! That government workers, who should to do their work with orphans. They do absolutely nothing! So, so sad...It breaks our hearts...

We ask you to pray that Vova would have a registration and God stood up for him.That God protect orphans and give a fear to government workers with regard to the orphaned children.Thank you!

Burned house...

Dear beloved friends, supporters, followers and just guests, with very heavy and broken heart I`m writing this update.First of all I would love to thank you for all your prayers, sweet e-mails with Bible verses, comments.When a day ago I asked you to pray. It`s such BLESSING to see some one with you in this big trial.Your love and prayers brings comforting and consoling.And it throw light in these dark days of our lives.We are in grief and sorrow.It hurts, breaks heart, feelings of hopelessness, eyes full with tears and it`s VERY and very hard.We need VERY much your prayers.
On monday late night I received a horrible calling..."You must come immediately!Your mother is burning"...I was shocked and scared very much.When we came to a place, having seen that 2 fire-engines still haven't extinguished a fire, the house which burned already about an hour.I was crying and beging God to stop the fire.I typing and tears do not stop to run down my face.
It horribly to see and understand you can do nothing...We could not sleep all night.

The next day we have seen the home in this horrible condition...Nothing...Everything is empty...Only smell of smoke and still burns fire in some places.Everything have burned up...It was home of my mom where I lived only first of my 9 years...





Again tears and hurting heart...It squeeze heart.Why God?What are you doing?Why it with me and my lovely and dear sister, who is great helper and servant in ministry to poor orphans.Why God? We have daily problems and now you let that it happened.We had a lot of troubles in our life already.Why God? We are still in grief after death of our dad, who died only several months ago.God, it hurts our hearts, it`s heavy for us.It`s heavier than I can bear... I feel so hopeless and emotionally exhausted...It`s so very hard...

That is not all. Everything only began...and it`s terrible...Dear friends, Christians, Church of Christ, we need your prayers VERY much! After this trouble everything  the consequences of our mother, actions have fallen upon me and my sister Oksana... Disastrous occurrence happened.The situation is more than hard.I and my sister have to pay for that.There is NO guilt of some one in this situation.It is God`s law and human sympathy. The situation is very and very hard.We have only 5 days to decide it.If we will not decide, it will become even very much worse for me and my sister.Situation is very hard and I can not explain it.And it scary me because we live in sinful world...

It influence on our ministry also.Devil does not like what we do for orphans and he is mad and destroys everything.

I believe many of you have worse situations and it hurts you too.You do not see a light in dark tunnel and do not know the end.Every day you pray with tears in eyes...And it`s hurt...When I think about these terrible things, I want Jesus come sooner.

With broken and heavy heart we beg you to pray hard...Please, pray God will protect us from evil and give us wisdom how to decide this trouble.Please, pray God will lead us to people who could help to decide it.Pray God give us strength and cover our needs.It`s cost for us about $5000.What is unreal and terrible for us.It scary.It is very huge money and I have no idea where to find.Please, pray God will decide this situation because it influence on ministry to orphans here.We beg you to pray.We need God`s miracle!Our hope only on God who see and controls everything.Please, pray...
Thank you, VERY much!We appreaciate your prayers VERY much!

I do not know how many "hundred" times I listened this psalm and especially in these hard days.And I so agree with this brother.His words SO much deeply touch my heart.Each time when I listen this gospel song and cry.We have to rejoice and trust Jesus even it`s very hard.Hope this psalm bring you a comfort too and console also...

With Love,
Alla and Oksana

P.S.I`m very sorry if it confuse you.I CAN NOT tell you details of this.It`s too personal.We ask you to pray.Thank you for understanding.

God hears your prayers!

These words belongs to director of BOM and pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Ukraine.This is posting of thanks.

  
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ and Dear our beloved friends, supporters and followers,

With big gratefulness in my heart I would love to thank you for all of your prayers for my health and support you gave me!
As  13 years ago God has saved me from hell and called me to be pastor of Church and director of Orphan Ministry.Really I`m very happy by that ministries and to praise God daily Who has changed my life forever!When many years ago I was in jail lying on concrete`s bed dying from tuberculosis.I was about 99 pounds of my weight, I had only bones and skin. And staff of prison did not give me a chance to live saw me give up as a bad job. They spelt the death and has put an end on me.But not alive God!!! He has saved me and healed me completely that I can preach the Gospel today and lead folks to Jesus!Praise the Lord! It is real miracle in my life and I praise the Lord!

Today God  sent tests to me problems with health.But trials in our life make our faith strong as stone and hot as fire.Even it is heavy for me with physical aches sometimes that I can not sleep at nights, I praise God He gives me peace in my heart and faith that He will heal me same as many years ago by his mercy and your prayers.

I was amazed to receive your support and help a gift of love for medicine I needed!Because I needed big sum I was not able to begin my treatment.But God says in His word: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" Jeremiah 32:27
I`m very grateful to all your support and prayers!Also I`m very thankful for your e-mails and encouragements!

"But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus(you all) the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:18-19)

I`m very thankful for your Christian love and care you show us in your daily prayers and support our ministry!
It give us a desire to serve the Lord more and with more strength!It give occasion of being ardently dedicated and loyal.Thank you so much to be light of Jesus and alive Church of Christ!

I would be very thankful if you continue to pray for my health.Because of aches I can not sleep at nights.If I do not sleep several nights one after another, it is very heavy to serve the Lord and do any work and it brings other problems with health.Thank you!God bless you!

Yours in Christ,
brother Misha

Changing hearts

Do you see these sweet and adorable kids?Oh, they just so precious, so beautiful and amazing kiddos!And they are treasure of God! :)
I would love to share with you what a wonderful meeting we had with them last week and not only with them.

After prayer and  congratulating a girl with her Birthday, we had only one at this time.We praised God with a song "I`m soldier of Jesus". Here is short video.They like to sing this song very much and rejoicing to sing her each time.Are not they sweet?

                                
We sang this song because we had topic of our Bible lesson about conquering of Jericho at this time.As we do not have children`s song about Jericho,we think it was good song for this subject.:)

Did children like this time?Absolutely!And we had such amazing time with them!

Children made horns before Bible story.They do not look like "rams" horns but really children were enjoying very much to make it. :) In the beginning they only colored it.


Until their horns were dried , kids could to see a cartoon about conquering of Jericho.They liked it much!

I think children have to learn  to listen a Bible story.But we do not have pictures or visualisation to all Bible stories.And these children are with special needs.So, we decided to show them it.If consider their special needs, we do not have all pictures and they like VERY much cartoons, we think it is not bad.Really we do not know.But we think, if children LOVE it much and enjoy by that, that is well.:)


Ok.After that boys played soldiers with swords and levites who carried an ark.They walked around of our "Jericho wall" many times to demonstrate how it was in Bible story.They were soooo much excited that wanted to walk around wall more and more times!They were sooo funny!

  They did great job!

After that children placed glue of their horns.
 With the object of that to place a colorful glitter they wanted.




 They were so much excited by their horns!wow!They could to blow!And they loved it veryyyyy much!

 And we could to play a game which we named "Let`s to help spies to get down".
We marked a red rope by pieces of sticky tape.When children gave answer to question, they had a right to help to get down spies.And we  had taken away piece of scotch(sticky tape) after, that children could to  move down spies.

As all time, many children wanted to play too. :)

So, we had such blessed and wonderful time with kids and they enjoyed by everything too.Hope they will remember this Bible story for a long time.

At this time Sasha and Lyuba had time with teens.

I would like to share with you a little testimony how God answers your prayers.We all time ask you to pray for children in orphanages not only about their needs but about their behavior too.SOME children are not so good and it is not easy to help them, it is necessary a time.Sometimes long time...Why their behaviour is not good, there are many different reasons for that.My opinion is not enough love...It is unreal to break here orphanage system.But God strong to break a heart and pride.
As many of you know when you love someone sincerely , this person see your love and he/she begin to open his/her heart before you and love you too.
Same is with parents, when you love your child, a child to reply to you his love too.And it is common factors. As God so loved the world,  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".(John3:16) that a christian who knows God as personal Saviour to reply to God his sincerity and reciprocity.Because he/she knows HOW God loves!

Lyuba(member of out team) shared with us a story about a girl, who is 15 years old.Her behaviour was not so well.Her behaviour reminded a boy but not girl.Lyuba talked with her many time, explained that is not well etc.Thankfully your prayers and talking with this girl, her behaviour begin to change.Each time, she is better and better and better and better.She has a picture of Lyuba.When we are not able to come, she look at Lyuba`s picture and begin to crying.She all time hugs her when we come and ask Lyuba "Do you love me?Will you come next Saturday?"And she reply to Lyuba and other members of BOM team as well her love. Is not amazing?Is not a blessing it?Is not wonderful how God changes hearts?
This girl will graduate this orphanage next year, in 5 months.We worry about these children, what they will do, will they meet other christians, will someone love them, how about their needs?How they will be live christians life?How about those who are not saved yet?

Please, pray for these children.Pray that seeds of God`s word fall on their hearts and bring fruits of Holy Spirit.Please, pray for their salvation and their behaviour change.Thank you!!! God bless you!

Urgent prayer

Our life sometimes remind me of zebra, who has white and black strips or lines.In our christian lives we have blessings big and small and have worries and trials big and small too.
Sometimes you are so happy that you think heaven came down.You want to sing and glorify God! You worship and grateful God for all things He does in your life, even bad too!You want to praise God and tell whole world about mighty and amazing God you serve, because you are happy!
 Sometimes you feel yourselves not so good when you have such big trial and sometimes it is heavy most of all, when you think sometimes, it never will finish...And you do not see the end of it...

Dear sweet friends, with worries in our hearts we all BOM team beg you to pray for our pastor of Baptist Church and head of BOM, your brother in Christ, Misha.

He has a big trial in his life right now.His health is very bad, he has bleeding gastric ulcer, big trouble with gaster.He can not sleep at nights sometimes because of it, he vomits with blood. He suffers sometimes, when we go to orphanages or he does any work at church.He has this trouble for a long time.But every time it become worse and worse.Because he eat not well and not eat enough. And he does not get a medicine because he is not able to buy it...
Recently his health status scared us to the death, when he nearly hasn't died last few days. A doctor says he should to get a medicine immediately or it can be too late...

  • He is a person who loves his church and ministry to orphans much.
  • He is a person who devoted all his life to Jesus Christ with full heart.
  • He sacrifice a lot of things that to be faithful servant of God.
  • He is  pastor who ready to help you spiritually and physically when you needs it.
  • He is pastor who ready to help you in any time of a day or even at a night by ride of hundred of kilometers far away from home that to help someone.
  • He is pastor who has Christianized hundreds of souls to Jesus Christ.
  • He is pastor who had lead several dozens of persons to Christ before the hours, day or few days or several weeks or months of their death.
One of these person is my dad, with whom our pastor prayed prayer of sinner, before the almost a day of his death few weeks ago...
And he is pastor who needs much our prayers and God`s miracle!

Please, we beg you with overwhelmed hearts pray for brother Misha.We even can not imagine what will happen with church or ministry to orphans if something worse will happen... Please, pray for his healing.Pray for miracle.Please, pray for his daily needs and medicine he needs  that God will provide.

We know God hears your prayers!We love you all and thankful for your love and faithful support!God bless you!

 You can send your encouragements to brother Misha to his e-mail glazovm@mail.ru

A wonderful visit!

Last week we had amazing and wonderful visit to girls with special needs!God has blessed and we had such great time with children!
I`m so sorry I did not post earlier.I could not do it because of many different  circumstances here.I was going to do it every day but it was heavy to find a time.Hope you understand.I`m so sorry again!
And yesterday when I almost finished, I needed to publish it, the internet itself had disconnected.I could not call to service, it was too late, at night time.

So, finally I can share with you the amazing meeting we had and God`s blessings!I`m so exciting to tell you about ALL blessings and how is good our Lord Jesus!

Before spending time with girls we have presented school supplies to the orphanage.Yes!Finally we could do it!Sweet friends, you needed to see how staff of orphanage was happy!They were amazed by that and thanked much!
We thank each of you to being blessing to this orphanage with school supplies!We thank you for each prayer, for each donation, for each any step you did to bless these children!Thank you so much to help them in their need and bring joy and happiness to them!Thank you to being light of Jesus Christ in this world! Just big thank you from bottom of our hearts!!!

 This is not all.We brought to them an educating literature what helps to teach kids.We gave it to them, that they look at that and chose what they need most and how many.And after that we would buy and bring books they need.Well.We did not expect reaction as that.They have run to these books like birds to bread!Ok.We thought to help only small kids(with books), they have here younger kids not many.But teachers of older groups heard about school supplies and about education books, they have run to a room very fast, where we had meeting. And they pleaded us to help them with books.
 You may think why teachers want to get these books much? Here is answer, because they have nothing!Can you imagine how they can teach children with special needs, not having any books, not having any teaching aids, not having any things what can help to educate these children? It is very heavy! How children can learn to read, math, develop, etc? I think it is unreal! 

Dear and sweet friends, followers, supporters and just guests, with heavy and overwhelmed hearts we plead you to help this orphanage with books they need.We need $1014.Yes, it is very big sum! But there is bigger need with education books for 90 kids.It is includes our project with school supplies.We have $112.5 from your donations for school supplies.We need still a lot. We ask you to help in this need.Orphanage do not have finances for these books.That is why they ask us much to help them.
Please, pray, donate, share on social networks, blogs or anywhere you can about this need.Each $ and cent is appreciating.Time is going and we need your help. Please, can you help us to help this orphanage?Thank you!God bless you!


 After that we could to have meeting with girls!Oh my goodness, what a blessed time we had!I even can not explain to you how children were happy to see us and how they were excited by everything!We were soooo blessed at this day and we praised the Lord for His mercy and to being soooo good to us!The day was such amazing!

We had Bible time and have told them Bible story about Jonah.How he did not obey God and ran away from Him.

 
                                    Our puppet show for smallest ones.
                                   Nadya told the Bible history.
 Children were amazed by seeing our whale!But they were so much impressed more when we turned on sounds of sea, sea-gulls and voices of whales!It was so beautiful!
 They were amazed and asked often what that?"What that?" They never heard voices of whales.It was so much interesting to observe their reaction!We hope they will remember this history for a long time.


 After Bible story, we have learned a new song with them, with movements about Jonah.They loved this song!

 We worried that it will be heavy for them probably as it is a new song.But they did it very good and they enjoyed by this song!
During a meeting we repeated it several times that they remember good.

 And we had fun time.We played a game.When music was playing. children passed on one other a toy dolphin.We did not have a whale.We think dolphin or killer whale it was good too.:) Thanks God, it came in time.

 When music stoped and a child who has a toy in this time needed to give answer on question about history about Jonah.We call this game "Hot a potato".They loved to pass on the toy much!It was real fun!

 And we learned a Bible verse too. "...to obey is better than sacrifice..." 1Samuel 15:22(b)(KJV)
We took only some part of this verse that they remember better, because here children with special needs.
Girls did catch a fish.The verse were written and hidden on blackboard.The fish were by numbered.Which number of fish they catch, this number of word we opened on blackboard.This way we played and learned verse.Also some fishes had surprises.We were going to play this game with small children.Some small ones could not be with us at this time.:(
But we were surprised when older girls wanted to catch fish too!It was not easy sometimes but very fun!



Do you see these girls who lifted their hands up?
We had a moment during our meeting when they asked Jesus Christ saved them.Is not amazing?Is not a blessing?Is not our God good? Praise the Lord!!!
 Girls wanted we make picture with all of us together and our whale. :)
Sisters gave candies.

 Ok.Next several pictures are girls with whale.They loved it so much that all they wanted to make picture with him. :))) We have hundreds pictures!Here are only several of them. :)




One more blessing we had, that we could to witness about Jesus Christ to several workers.We praise God and thanks Him for this opportunity!


The 5 girls were sick and could not be with us.They were in isolated room.
 It is such sad place.Girls get here when they sick not much.When they sick much, they get to hospital.
In this room is nothing except beds.
 No toys, no books, no other furniture, nothing.They lie on their beds all day long and get medicine when nurse give pills in time.It is how they spend all day there, lying in bed all day long, nothing to do.
 We pray that we can help this orphanage to leave here something, that will help girls to be busy while they sick.It can be puzzles, coloring books, some games etc.

 When we left orphanage, girls waved their hands and watched through  windows, as every time.It is so sad to leave them here.:(

Next week we are going to 4 orphanages, if God`s will.In two of them will have Bible lessons as usual and in others two, to have program and bring school supplies we have.Here and here.
 Please, will you pray together with us God will bless our visits, safe travelings and our schedule?Thank you!

Soon I`m going to tell about one more huge blessing we have! :)
