Mommy and her precious daughter both are doing well and healthy! Praise God for His mercy and goodness!!!Thank you very much for prayers!!! God is so good!!!

Congratulations to Kolya and his wife Zhenya with their third baby! God has created little Karina such a beautiful baby!

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

(Psalm 139:13-16)KJV

This young family has a lot of physical, spiritual and emotional difficulties. Please, remember them in your daily prayers!Thank you! May God bless you!

They called him Yaroslav

This precious little boy, Nadya`s son is called Yaroslav. He was born 2 weeks ago. The little boy is at home a week already. He is absolutely healthy and growing fast. Nadya feels great also. Praise God!

Isn`t he precious and cute?

We are amazed by the goodness and mercy of God!

Nadya, the first person in the local clinic, who is having a big hernia on her back could have absolutely healthy baby and give birth safely. Wow!The very next day after the surgery, she had a caesarean section. She were able to stand up and take the baby in her arms.

Several months ago, it was a serious test for her family. Nadia had terrible pain and she could not move at all. An one and a half months she lay in bed and could not get up. Nothing helped her. It was so terrible condition she was crying and screaming in pain sometimes. Nadia said, it would be easier to give birth 3 times again, although it was a difficult first birth, rather than endure the pain in her back. :( The doctors could not and did not know how to help. They thought that after giving birth, she will become disabled and the rest of her life to hold in a wheelchair.

But God is so very good and merciful! Through many prayers He made a real miracle! Now Nadya helps mothers, who have a same problem. Who knows. Whether not for this purpose God made this miracle?

 "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." 

(2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

We thank and praise God! Only He could make wonders where people are helpless!

Please, meet Diana! :)

Oh, my! Look at this little cutie! Those chubby cheeks are so adorable!  Such a cutie pie! Isn't she? :)Please, meet little Diana!

Stella says, "I am very happy God gave me a daughter".

Mother and daughter feels good.Thank you all so very much for prayers!!!! What a miracle! The sweet family is very thankful to you all :)

But your prayers still needed.

Stella had a cesarean operation. She needs time for recovering of her health. It will be very hard for her physically. So, we make a list who and when can help her in first few weeks or months. Because Vadim works every day and he is not able to help his wife. The money enough only pay for renting of apartment.Also Stella gets some medication after surgery. Any your gift of love to help mother to recover fast, would be greatly appreciated! The family spent lots of money for surgery and even had to borrowed more. BOM supports this sweet family but we still need your help. But the most, we ask you for prayers!Thanks a lot!

The adorable newborn baby is at home!

Look at this cute and adorable baby! How wonderful and awesome! He is so beautifully made. Baby Artem is at home today, healthy and is doing well.

The baby is at home!

Yesterday was  so emotional and so wonderful day! Because the baby boy, the Kozaks new angel is at home! Yay!

As always we had a small celebration for parents, "Discharge from Hospital". Everything was just great! We congratulated Sasha and Olga with their new baby, a lot of wishes and congratulations as always.

Oh, how I love their both here. Their smiles are priceless!

 And then the woman that led the program, held a fun lottery. Where each pulled a card with writing assignment and a wish for the baby. Sasha pulled the card , which says that he will bathe the baby, and Olya every day to change diapers. :)

  And then all the other guests and friends pulled, what they will do in future. Someone will sing lullabies, someone to buy toys , take to the zoo , etc. Parents also were awarded diploma Parents. :) Altogether it was funny and lots of fun. And most importantly, Sasha and Olya stayed pleased and happy!

 I loved it, when we were asked to be photographed with Ukrainian embroidered rushnyk, where it says "family". Such a nice idea!

Then we were proposed to take pictures of our baby and with different decorations in different images.
Isn`t he precious?

Soooo cute little rabbit!

 But the MOST interesting thing was to see the reaction and getting to know Edick with his younger brother!This darling boy LOVED his little brother!

It was sooooo precious and lovely to watch as he was learning and watched for a toddler. At first he kept looking at him seriously. As if he thought. "Is he my brother that everyone talks about?"Then Edick started pat him on the head! Nobody did not tell him what to do!

So priceless!!!

Here is some pictures and videos. But the most, I LOVE how Edick was patting and kissing his sweet brother. :) We all have been amazed by love of this handsome little man, because no one told him what to do. What a blessing!

Olya says, when she changes diapers baby, Edick starts stroking and kissing him. Today, kissed on the tiny brother`s leg. How sweet! :)

P.S. Parents still can not come up with the name of babe. Any ideas? :)

Congrats Kozaks with a new blessing!!!

Oh, my!!! I am crying, tears of joy...I am soooooo happy! I want to jump, screaming, sing and praise God ...because a few hours ago was born a little boy. I know am crazy. But I am sooooooooooo happy!!!!

He is such darling and SO precious! He is sooooo beautiful and ABSOLUTELY healthy! He was born at 11.50 AM. The weight is 3,200 kilo and  height 50 cm. Hmm. Interesting date of birth  04.04.2014  :)

 Our sweet mommy Olga is feeling very well, I would say great! Honestly, I am surprised! But Praise God! I know, God was present there, because many of you prayed for Olechka, safe delivery, for her and baby health. She is VERY happy by her new and adorable blessing! Everything was just wonderful, fast and safe delivery, great and such good care of doctors, feelings of mommy. Wow! Hallelujah!

Yes!He was smiling!

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well. 

 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, [and] curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them. 

(Psalm 139:13-16)KJV

Welcome to the world, sweet angel! 

                               

Sweet happy mommy :)

Happy Sasha could not wait to see his son! He was so thrilled! Called a hundreds times. How looks my son? How is he? :)))

I am SO happy that baby was born healthy and Olechka is feeling so well! It`s because of God's mercy, your many prayers and great caring. Wow! Wow! Praise God!!!!!THANK YOU so much!!!!You are AWESOME, friends!!!!!

(Psalm107:8) Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men! 

Please, pray for this family further. Since both, Sasha and Olga grew up without parental love and care. From the very childhood were at orphanage. Now has two children. They are very young couple and many things have to learn. Those, who have children know, how hard it can be physically and emotionally. The family moved a new frontier family life. They need help on many things. But the most, prayer support. Thank you very much!

Parents still have not come up with a name for their babe. :)

An interesting moment, one nurse called me "grandmother". Lol. Funny, that  Edick constantly called me always "bysi", which means ba-by-sya, babushka (granny). A little later began to call me "papa"(dad). Lol

At home already

A precious little Sophia is at home already. She and her young mommy is doing really well. Praise God!

When we took away Lena from the hospital, there was made a Hospital Discharge for her and her baby.

I do not know how it is in other countries. It would be interesting to know ... But here in Ukraine, where her mother with a newborn baby is discharged from the hospital, the employee may make a solemn discharge, of course with the consent of relatives or friends. Everyone decides for himself whether he wants it or not. Certainly, we wanted to have a special event for our lovely mother. :)

There were many different wishes and congratulations.

A woman has arranged a fun lottery. Everyone pulled the card, where it was written, who will do what for the baby. 

Take to the zoo,  nurse in absence of parents, be a sponsor, sing lullabies, etc. It was very funny. 

                         

 All this happens very quickly, within 10-15 minutes, but stayed pleasant and joyful memories.

But at home, a pleasant surprise waited for Lena. We bought a crib, canopy, a blanket, a mattress and everything need for a crib.All is not new, but in great condition. We haggled with a woman, that would be even cheaper to buy it all. But when she learned that we buy for an orphan, she has lowered and sold out by a very good price, and gave a several new different bottles for the baby free of charge. Yay! What a joy!

We have set all and decorated by balloons. Everything turned out great! I really like the crib and everything in it. ;)

"Wow! This is so beautiful!", our young mommy cried out, when came into the room. She was so impressed and so excited and started to hug everyone. :) We were so glad she loved it and  she was happy!

She immediately had put a little angel there, who slept so peacefully. Isn`t Sophia precious? :)

She is our little princess, who deserves the best what we can give.She is such beautiful gift from God!What a wonderful blessing she is for her sweet mommy! ;0)

Welcome to the world, little Sophia!

This morning, around 8:30 am I got a phone call.

-Alla, please come! I am very afraid! I'm scared! through her tears, weeping bitterly called Lena.

-All will be well, dear! I'm going!

I hurriedly began to gather at the hospital. I started to worry a bit. Arriving at the hospital and saw this precious girl that she was in good order. I calmed down and the Lord gave me peace in my heart. I belived that everything will be well. I realized that Lena should have give a birth to a sweet baby today. She was VERY scared.Hmm. Not surprise.

It was not easy for her. I consoled and encouraged, Lena as I could, doing massage, read comforting verses from the Bible and prayed. But the Lord gave me the confidence and peace of mind that everything will be fine. The perfect peace of God filled my heart. I am so grateful to Him for that! Thank God, my past  little experience was very useful. I told Lena, what to do and how, etc. Also God blessed with a very good medical staff, doctor, obstetrician and others.

And .. at 1.25 pm a miracle happened!A little Sophia arrived to this world!Oh, my! Tears. Just tears of happiness.

My first words were. -Oh my! She is so cute! :)

She is sooooo precious!Born one small miracle. She's just a gem and treasure!

She is SO beautiful! Isn`t she? :)

We are so happy for Lena!
One more miracle  happened. Doctors were surprised  partly, that Lena, being small in stature and delicate constitution, gave birth to a big baby 3,550 kilograms(7826.3 pounds) and 54 centimeters(21.26 inches). Is not a miracle and mercy of the Lord?

Sofia is a healthy precious girl. And all thanks to you, my friends! We have helped and fed Lena, that a baby would was born healthy. Praise God it happened!

Our young mommy is doing very well and still can not believe that has happened this miracle. :) Also, the Lord gave me strength and I am not tired, despite the fact that only 3 hours I slept. :) Working at night, I went to bed just before dawn at 5.00 am and after 3 hours Lena called me. I'm so glad that God gave me strength and also to be with our sweet mommy and support her in this exciting moment. It's AMAZING how God set it up, and blessed!!!

We are SO grateful for all your prayers and support! I believe thanks to your prayers and mercy of our Saviour everything went just perfectly!What an amazing joy and blessing!God is sooooo good, as ALWAYS!  :)

Expecting a baby

Lena is at hospital now in delivery room. She has not given birth yet. We are all expecting for when Sophia will come to this world. But her mommy Lena, this precious girl is VERY scared and crying... She called and asked me that I would have attended to her at birth. Having a little experience a year ago, :) I would have to go and support the Lena  in this exciting moment. I started to worry too. We need your prayers now so much! Please, please pray!Pray for peace in heart, good childbirth and healthy baby!Thank you!!!

A blessing days with new friends

Hello everyone!Finally I can update about some wonderful blessings we have.

In previous blog post I told you that some family from USA is going to come and spend some days with BOM.So, they came and we had amazing time visiting of orphans! God has been so good to us!  We had a wonderful and fun time.

So, we had a possibility to visit our little treasures telling them about God.

The weather is very nice now, such warm as summer. After program we played with kiddies outside, blew bubbles.

They were so excited, rejoiced to play and catch bubbles!It was so sweet and fun time.

In the end kids received beautiful pajamas.It was even more joy! :) Thank you very much, Susan Booker!

Then, we visited another our beloved souls with Bible lessons.At this time we have spoken about 10 plagues of Egypt.

As we need extra hands always.Our new friends were wonderful blessing and helped to those, who needed help.

Girls made craft frogs, as one of plague of Egypt. :)

Also Jesus gave us a possibility to visit a young lady, who gave birth a little precious baby.We congratulated her, and presented necessary difference items to newborn boy. 

Honestly, we have been in shock.We thought probably..,probably someone could to help this family, knowing their situation. As Zhenya is very young orphaned mother and her husband works since New Year and brings to home 100-200grivna for a month ($12.5-$25.00 sometimes more...). When we came...We could not believe and it absolutely broken our hearts...The newborn baby is so tiny and small that the clothes we bought smallest size, it is still too big for him.

This little darling boy had only ONE baby linen that a hospital gave and mother should return it.This family had not at home food,  ABSOLUTELY nothing! Even it is very nice weather outside, at home was very cold because the house is very old. We told to the mother that she keep open a door that warm air come to the house.Outside is much warmer than inside! But it is heavy in same time because there hundreds mosquitos! It was impossible to sit there! Oh, poor little boy Vitya...  Mosquitos bites him all time! We wanted to buy something against these creatures. But did not find.This family lives in small town and people snapped up everything! This year we have too many mosquitos! Brrrrr!

Zhenya was very happy received the food and all items to her baby. Can you imagine her condition, being a hungry daily, plus breastfeeding her boy, at cold home, being bite by mosquitos every day, having nothing to her baby, living is such poverty and not having ANY hope for help...Oh, my! I even can not imagine how it can be? When she showed to us her son Vitya, I was ready to cry...

 Seeing the condition of this family, it is very heavy...It is so sad and breaks heart.

The Lord Jesus brought us not only help in physical needs, tell about Him to the mother again. When we have been there, Zhenya`s father had guest there, who spent many years at orphanage too.He is not able to help to his children.He even did not have money come back to home, where he lives...We shared the Gospel with him as well.

But the most joy and awesome blessing for us was, when Zhenya`s neighbour, a teen Roma came to this house to see who visited  her ;) He lives without parents too, only with his older brother. This young man (in orange T-shirt on the picture) listened about God, salvation, His love and he asked Jesus Christ saved him! What an awesome blessing! Praise the Lord!

So, we have one more reason to visit this small town again and again. ;0)

We had wonderful and such blessed days with our new friends, this beautiful and Christ lovers family!

BOM team with family Branscum

Even we spent several days.  But we were ready to cry telling them goodbye. Tell me, why it is so heavy to say goodbye sometimes? :)
