Gifts to Graduates

A month ago I was so very busy that had no time to make a blog post to raise funds for graduates. It was left few days before our last meetings with graduates and Last Bell ceremony.

I began to count days and we still did not have money. We began to pray asking our loving Father for a miracle. We needed around $1200. Honestly, I began to nervous a little as we had only few days! Do you know what?! Just in few days God provided funds through at one sweet family! Wow! Wow! Amazing!!!
So, we were able to buy Bibles,  kitchen utensils, blankets for 60 graduates! This was awesome blessing! We were super excited and praised God!

So, we were able to hold last meetings sharing with teens about God`s love.Brother Kevin(who spent several weeks with BOM), could share his testimony as well.

And in the end BOM could to bless graduates with beautiful gifts.

I love how this guy cherish his gift :)

So priceless! ♥

In one of orphanages we were at Last Bell ceremony, where brother Misha could give last guidance and encouragement from the Bible to graduates. It was sad to see that from 17 graduates of this orphanage only 5 relatives came to congratulate the kids. Can you imagine the sadness in their hearts? But we were blessed to encourage them. They were so glad to see us at this ceremony! :)

The most wonderful blessing about 10 young people in different orphanages, asked Jesus Christ to saved them and change their lives!It was so wonderful to see how they did not hesitate and shy of the classmates to become  on their knees before God! How great!

 It was wonderful to meet teachers, who taught me when I got to this orphanage at age 9 years old. And meet my classmate as well. It was sweet time of fellowship. It was such a wonderful opportunity to share about Jesus Christ what he did in my life!

Praying for these sweet kids that God`s seeds planted in their hearts will bring fruit of Spirit some day.Hoping to meet them someday...

We are so grateful to a sweet family, who blessed these precious teens with such a beautiful gifts! We are amazed and humble with goodness and mercy of God, who takes care of our needs. He is always faithful, even when we are not faithful. He is great!!! He is worthy of praise!!! Jesus Christ is only alone alive God!!!

Many blessings for many precious souls

Some time ago we visited several orphanages and provide humanitarian aid. God blessed with many wonderful and beautiful clothes. Each year we receive more and more huge boxes with clothes and shoes for kids. It is awesome blessing for what we are so thankful to many of you! Wow! God is so very good!!! :)

Little Beauties :)

Each year orphanages receive less money to dress kids. Sometimes do not receive money at all. For example, an one orphanage for boys with special needs, could buy 5 pair of socks per year for each boy. This year they can buy only one pair of socks. :(

So precious souls...

All kids were so happy to receive new clothes! :)

Your care and love through sending clothes is such a great joy for children and encouragement for administration of orphanages!

Not only kids in orphanages but graduated young adults were dressed up also. They were so excited and so thankful! Life after orphanage is not easy for the young people, especially for those who have kiddies.

Thank you many, many times! Thank you for your generosity, kindness and care!Your love brings glory and praise of Jesus Christ!

"He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor". (Proverbs 14:31)

A special guest last week!

Guess what?! We had a special guest last week! Yay! Danny, young guy, who helped so many in orphanages, with new beds, personal care items, quilts and so on, and so on past autumn. He raised funds and came back to Ukraine to help orphaned kids again! How awesome!!!Is not a wonderful blessing to see a special friends again?! ;) We had such a blessed time together!

So, we visited several orphanages telling to our precious kiddies about the Lord. This time we told them a Parable of the Lost Sheep and Jesus Christ is our Shepherd. (Luke 15:3-7) 

Nadya learned Bible verse with children. (Psalm 23:1) "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."  I really love Psalm 23! In Russian/Ukrainian Bibles, Psalm 22 . Before that was hidden the sheep with word Shepherd. Children had to find it. It was fun how they were looking for sheep.

Then the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

Time with kids was awesome!!! I can not tell you how it was exciting, to hear the laugh of kids, see their joy and happy smiles.We had so and so much fun!!!

We played at game, "Gathering Your Sheep" The children had to pretend they are shepherds and that the balloons are their sheep. The object of the game was to be the first shepherd to get his sheeps into the fold with the rest of the sheep. The "gate" were between the chairs. The first child to push his "sheeps" across the floor with his "rod" through the "gate" is the winner.We all laughed a lot!Children loved this game and many wanted to play!

At the end everyone was provided with personal care items blessed by bro. Daniel and his community.

Huge blessing for entire orphanage!!!!

Then we visited our sweet boys...We also had wonderful time, singing, listening Bible story and playing at games.

So fun to gathering sheep!

Boys got sweets. Happy smiles :)

 :(

And personal care items, shampoo, shower gel, soap, diapers and baby formula.

Also we had such amazing time with our sweet girls!

Precious souls received stuffed toys and personal care items too! You would see their joy and delight! They cuddled and kissed toys like a small kids... It was so priceless to see...

 Young ladies were soooo happy to get a set of personal care item!They asked many times, is this for us? :)

We are soooo grateful to our dear friend Danny and his generous community to bless so and so many sweet souls last week! So many wonderful blessings helped not just in needs of kids but brought so much joy and love! We are so happy and rejoice for our many small friends!!! Jesus is so good!!!! 

More graduates

It was the last orphanage where we gave precious gifts to graduates. Last orphanage, where we said goodbye to the teens.As I told you before we have been invited to Last Bell ceremony. Children leaving the orphanage looked sad and happy.It was very emotional day as orphaned kids cried and we were ready to cry also. It always hard to say goodbye to someone special to your heart...

Brother Misha was able to give the last instruction from the Bible to graduates during the ceremony.Then in the end of Last Bell, all precious souls, who start independent life, received these beautiful gifts.

We would love to thank you heartly, for taking part in this awesome project. :) Through your care and love many orphans received these wonderful blessings, Bibles, blankets and kitchen utensils. All kids were super excited and warmly thanked.Thank you!THANK YOU so very much on behalf of Ukrainian orphaned children!!!!Without your support and prayers many things would not happened. Thank you from bottom of our hearts!!!♥

What a beautiful busy day

Last week was super busy! About one of these beautiful and busy days, I would love to tell you.

At the beginning we visited our precious graduating orphans and young agults from poor families in trade school.

It was so awesome that these 7 young guys came for our meeting first time! They never heard the Gospel and never holding and even seen the Bible.What a blessing!

We talked about that real love, relationship between a guy and a girl starts with friendship and gradually turns into love. We talked about what can be friendship between him and her.

We talked with the guys about premarital purity. That young girls and guys should keep their purity before marriage. God condemns pre-marital relationships and how many problems it all brings. That girls should keep themselves, but not defile their body. That each of them is beautiful as this rose.

Here Andrew told his wonderful testimony. The guys are very attentively and with amazement listened.

Then all present received a precious gifts, personal care items. There were socks, deodorant, shampoo, shower gel etc.

 Everyone was glad to get a gift!

At the end we had cookies and drink.
Do you know what? After a few minutes there was nothing left! I think next time buy more food. :)

We had an amazing time and fellowship with these precious souls!

When we were ready to leave this room. We were approached by several women that worked there. 

-Is this your blue vehicle? they asked. 

-Yes. 

-Oh, how they wait for you! How they wait for you!- several times they repeated. 

They are so thrilled when see blue van!Come, visit them oftener. Perhaps your visit will help to change their lives and relationships.And we will be glad to see you. 

I think they have heard all what we talked about, even behind closed doors. But it was such a blessing to hear that these beautiful precious souls are waiting for BOM always. :) ♥

Some of them graduating this trade school in June and hope we can see them oftener.

Then we gone to another orphanage that would bring packages to these beautiful young ladies, from the sponsors.

There was lots of delight and joy :0)

Then having a lunch very fast, we met an one orphaned guy who were wandering on the street and who graduated orphanage few years ago. It was very sad to see him in this condition and hear his sad stories. We fed him and had a fellowship little with him. Then saying goodbye with this guy, we went to other orphanage. It was late some, around 7.30-8.00 pm. I thought that we will have a trouble from the administration of the orphanage that we came so late. :) We never visit orphanages so late because they have day regimen and we try do not break it. Go there only with permit of administrations.

But even on the contrary, all employees of the orphanage and kids were happy by meeting. Administration warmly greeted us and organized ​all. That we were able to have a little meeting with graduates.And presented these beautiful 20 towels. We call them "big candies" :)

All teens were glad by gifts and warmly thanked.

We came back home late, tired but happy!

THANK YOU all very much for all your love and care, for taking part in the project and sending packages! Here so many work. Wow!Thank you! Thank you on behalf of these beautiful souls! ♥
