Visit of God`s treasures

It is such a joy for me to share with you all amazing God`s blessing we have! We could see and spent such wonderful time with God`s treasures whom we could to visit last week!They are such amazing creation who are needy love and care!Thank you so much for your prayers!We had such wonderful and amazing time with boys of special needs in mental institution!There boys who has Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, mental deficiency and different mental disability.We had such excellent and  fabulous time with them!Boys were soooo happy spending time with them!

In the beginning when we arrived there, we have presented diapers to orphanage.God has blessed and we could to bless orphanage a little bit.These diapers are enough only for 2 weeks.We would be so happy if someone will donate that we can buy more diapers to boys, because there is very big need with it.They need big and small sizes.Or probably someone can send diapers to boys.We spent $50 for these diapers.We would be very happy to help them!
Also administration of institution asked us to help with chemical things.It can be be washing powder, shampoo,soap, gloves what protect hands from chemical sore, things what to help to wash well floor, dishes, etc.
Please, can someone to help with these things?Thank you!

Also they asked us to help with food.There is BIG needs with all these things!

 Before spending time with boys, we gave candies and bananas to boys small and older who can not be with us at this time.And after that we could to be with other boys.

 In the beginning we were with older boys.Small ones were taking shower at this time.And it was perfect time for us!While smallest were busy we could to be with older boys.

 It was such blessing when they were sitting so quietly!We were amazed and praised God!

This nice boy helped us to tell a Bible story to children.He is so smart and very kind!

We learned with them a new song.They did gestures very well.Boys love so much guitar!They really enjoy to hear it and they show by their hands how they "play" on guitar.It is so nice and sweet!

After that we could to play, catch our fish.Dear friends you should to see their shining eyes how they were happy to play this game!!!How they smiled and laughed! Really, they were sooo MUCH impressed!We even did not expect this simple game will bring so much positive and active emotions!Wow! We were so much impressed to see them so happy!

Lokk at him!Is not he sweet?

And in the end we gave to them candies and bananas.We are sooo thankful to the Lord, He has blessed and we could to bring these sweets to them.Thank you Jesus!

Next meeting was with smallest ones.Oh, how they so sweet!It is such blessing to be with them!We had perfect time with small kids too!I would love to hug all of them and give my love to each one!They are so thirsty fellowship with folks!!! When they saw us, they were so happy!And we were happy not smaller than they. :)

 It was so funny when we heard how older wanted to be with us, when we were with small ones at this time.They wanted to be with us again and again and again! Is`nt wonderful?

Boys  applauded when puppets sang. :)

And they listened of Bible story so attentive! It was such blessing!

 

 Look at these next several pictures.There how boys are hungry of touching, hugs, holding their hands.While boys listened story, others just wanted to receive a love by holding their hands or just hug them.It is so sweet and heartbreaking in same time to know boys do not receive hugs, love and attention.Caretakers do not hug them, do not play, do not give to them attention.And they can not do it, they only do their work...But these boys are precious God`s treasures.

 God gave them life and we should to love them and give our attention as much as we can.They are creation of God about whom we must to care and pray.God so loved the world, that He gave his only beggoten Son.God teaches us His amazing, wonderful and sacrificial love.

 Some boys asked us stroke their heads.Oh, how they need attention and so little that to feel beloved...

And we played with small children too.Oh, they were excited not smaller than older boys!They loved soooo much to catch fish!They all got so many positive emotions! It was such wonderful time!!!

Look at this sweet boy.Isn`t he happy?

Look at Oleg how he is happy!He is so smart boy!We are sure he mustn`t be there, at this orphanage!He speaks and understands everything very well!

Sergey so sweet, quiet, clever and so kind boy!It is so heartbreaking to see his disabled hand.But he is very talented to do something by his hands!

Oh, yes!Many of them did not know how need to hold fishrod, they needed our help.Some of them needed to keep, as they wanted to turn over all water.It was very heavy to hold them.That is not surprise because they are hidden there from people and do not know how need to behave...

 And several of boys we needed to hold because Misha our head could not play on guitar.I took boy`s hands and sang with him with gestures, make him busy.And it helped, praised the Lord!

But some boys just wanted you held his hands and sang together with him.Is not a blessing?Look at boy who is singing with Nadya together.It is so and so sweet!!!

In the end we gave to these children, bananas and candies too.

Also we could to visit kids who are heavy most of all.Most of them are here on their bed all day long, doing nothing.They get fresh air only at nice and warm weather, most on summer time.But when it is cold, they do not go outside.Can you imagine their life?Lying in beds all day long, nothing to do, do not breath fresh air, nobody visit, nobody hug you and tell warm words,only hear yelling at them? That is more than terrible!!!

But there are few boys whom we could to take them and spend time.We had puppet show here and game.

Did kids were happy?Absolutely!!!

We had very nice time with them too.With several boys we could to play, holding them on our arms, hug, gave our attention and everything we could give them.So, sorry we do not have pictures.Because it is very heavy to make picture when you are playing with them.:) But we were such blessed to be with them!And they were exciting our time too!

When we told them goodbye, they asked us will you come back, will you come again?When you come?Ah, it is so heavy to hear it!!!We will  miss them so much and it breaks our hearts...

Also we could see and find out sadness moments what is heartbreaking and hurting.It is so and so sad...

Do you see this sweet boy?His name is Misha.This picture was taken 5-6 years ago.He was such kind boy, all time wanted we hug him. Not one time he flew to our director Misha that he hug him and cried all time: "Misha!Misha!" He wanted so much to receive a love and gave his love to us too.

Now he so looks

last times we noticed he changed much, he began to be not actively as before, he flew to us not often as before, he is sitting on bench so quietly. We asked ourselves often something happened.Why his behaviour changed? What is with him?
It seems that he began to undergo degradation.At this time we asked a caretaker about him.It was shock for us to hear that.Now I`m typing and my eyes are wet.It is so heavy and heartbreaking.This sweet boy lost his eyesight ...and he does not see any more.And we understood why his behaviour changed.It is so sad.I even can not imagine how is horrible his life!!! It was awful before but after he became blind it is more worst!Oh, no...

We ask you please pray for these sweet boys!Pray God care in His arms, they feel love.Pray for their health and their needs.We pray and plead God to help these poor boys, to have better health.Please, God help them!..

Visit of boys with special needs.

I`m so exciting to share with you how God has blessed us by visit of boys with special needs!I`m so happy how is good God and what an amazing time we had!Everything was absolutely wonderful and amazing!!!We praise and glorify God!And we praise God that staff of orphanage could to hear the Gospel too!Isn`t amazing possibility and blessing?

Here is short video our puppet show for smallest ones cuties.

Nadya told Bible story about Jonah.Children were amazed and surprised when a whale opened his mouth and "has swallowed" our Jonah. :)

A little boy Vova played Jonah.He was so excited to be him! And he did perfect job! The staff of orphanage were smiling and were impressed by that! There was such nice Spirit and we were thrilled and praised God!

Next pictures is where we learned with boys a song about Jonah, with gestures.

 

 Here we played a game.Boys were rejoiced to pass on toy, whale, while music played.And they answered to questions about Bible story about Jonah.Older boys helped smaller ones.

But most of all they loved a game, to catch fish. wow!They were so impressed and very much excited!They smiled and their eyes were shining.They were so much impressed!!! It is soooo amazing blessing to see happy orphans!

It is so sad we do not have much time that more boys could to play too.But we happy they can hear, see and rejoicing to be with us as well.

Look, how Andrew is happy!

Isn`t cute this boy?

This way we played and learned Bible verse at one time.

Here is a boy on video, how he flew to play game and  nearly  fallen.It was because he wanted to play very much!Poor boy. :) So funny! But look how he was happy when he hooked of turtle!He smiles all time. Isn`t he sweet?

And next blessing is that we have presented school supplies to this orphanage. wow! The administration of orphanage were so thankful much!It is enough to the end of their educating year, to the end of next Spring.
The staff were surprised to see these supplies and so thankful to you!

Dear beloved friends, sweet sponsors and faithful followers of blog, we would love to thank you to bless this orphanage, who had need with these school supplies. Thank you to bless, to give love and care to these precious children! Thank you to being blessing to them! May the Lord richly bless you!!!

 "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again."

Proverbs 19:17 (KJV)


   Last week we also could to visit boys in mental institution.Soon I`m going to tell you more about our visit.Blessings! :)

                              

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

 There are 100 new pairs of shoes!WOW! It is enough for all mental institution!!! It is enough for ALL girls there!!! It is a lot! Isn`t  amazing and incredible?!

What an amazing blessing!We are so happy and thankful Lord for His mercy and goodness!We are so thankful God, Who cares about orphans and He is faithful to His word!We rejoice at this blessing and praise God!

Next spring we will bring these shoes to girls with special needs that they will wear shoes in summer.Yes, it not happened last summer.But our dear and sweet friends tried to do everything they could to help and everything will be in time. But you never know why God doing it and why it came later not in time when you "think" it is need.But one we know He is righteous and holy God, He is right all time and all things work for good!We trust to Him with all our hearts.He knows the best time!

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! :)

Today is Orphan Sunday

Today is Orphan Sunday.Today believers in many countries pray for orphans in whole world. Christians in Russia, Belarus, America and Ukraine (these I know) and probably in some else countries lift up their prayers for those who are needy love and care.  Take a moment to think of the 163 million children who have no family to love and care for them. 163 million who will have no one to kiss them goodnight tonight, no one hug them and no one tell them "I love you". Take a moment to think of the over 100.000 orphans in Ukraine...and 30000 who can be adopted, who need a loving family.Consider changing a orphan`s life by advocating, foster care, prayers, ministry to orphans or adopting!Your prayer can make a big and an amazing difference!


God calls us to love and care for orphans.

"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow". Isaiah 1:17, KJV

God calls us to be instruments of justice for orphans.

"Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart".  Zechariah 7:9-10, KJV

God blesses those who are obidient to care for the needs of orphans. 
"When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands". Deuteronomy 24:19, KJV

We absolutely have to come together and do something to make difference in children`s lives!

Will you join? Will you join to make a difference in orphan`s lives?
