Our beloved ones

Here I would like to share with you about wonderful visit we had with girls with special needs last week.
God blessed and we had such perfect and great time with our beloved children!

In the beginning we had Bible time with smallest ones.We had absolutely great time!They sat and listened so silently and attentively as though tried to catch each word told by you.They rejoiced to each game or action.They all are so precious and lovely!

As this time we told to small kids story about Noah. Here we played game. Where they blindfold shall place an animal than closer to an ark door.It was very funny and amusing!

 They selected an animal what wanted and placed it on an ark. It was also good possibility to repeat which animals they already know and to learn the new.

But before game we told them story about Noah also a flood.They loved pictures so much!

Also we give them stickers as reward for something. They admire and rejoice them VERY much!With joyful faces and shining eyes they show to everyone, that have sticker on their hand. :)

 

 Also we studied a new song with them about Noah with movements. They such lovely and amusing when sing. We admire them! Aren`t they precious?

                               

 And at the end as usual we did a craft with them. Animals on a wooden stick. They very much liked this craft! It is very simple and to children very much is pleasant.They were excited  to do this craft!

Some children aren't able to color and use pencils. Therefore the help as always is necessary.We take their hand in the ours and we learn them to color.

This girl that sits next to me is so lovely and delightful. When we only arrived, she directly pulled me to herself that I would sit near her. Unfortunately she doesn't talk. But we perfectly understood each other.

At the end when we did the craft. I nevertheless sat down near her that to help. So she was so happy and glad that very much pressed my hand to herself and hid from pleasure.

I took her hand and learned her to color. You would see how she was happy and how she rejoiced!

This time there was other teacher. It was interesting that when we distributed to children pencils and preparations for the craft. The teacher said, no isn't necessary! to this child don't give. She isn't able to draw and won't be.She said that about several kids.
 We told her, that is fine. All children to draw when we come. And we give to all children of preparation(printed on paper) that they would work. How she was surprised having heard that all children draw(even she works there many years)! Also she saw that those children who never drew. This time they held a pencil in the hands and diligent worked on the project.
 

It seems that with our arrivals of the teacher will see that their children can do and on what they are capable. :) We noticed that many children who didn't know how to use a pencil, when we started to work with them. Today they perfectly draw and rejoice to their operation. Those who didn't know how correctly to hold scissors and how to cut. Today they cut. Yes it isn't absolutely accurate, but they learned that. We are very glad that children study if only a little with our visits. Oh, how we would love to teach their to many things! But there is time for everything... There can be a Lord will bless and we can make it in some day...

Do you see this cute and precious girl?

I think that you already guessed that she is small Masha who was shown on ABC News for an moment.She is such sweet girl!She is very smart, learns new things very quick, she loves to give hugs and receive them.She is so precious!!! If I could, I would take her to my home.We pray that Masha will find a lovely family forever.I`m sure parents will not be sorry.Masha is very special, with such lovely heart girl.

Isn`t she a little angel?When I asked her, who is on a craft. She answered correctly that it is a lion. But on Noah she told that it is papa(daddy).Awwww! It was so sweet! Papa where are you? Your little girl is waiting for you.

At the end we presented gifts to children at whom there was a Birthday.

 They were very happy!

Look at this precious smile!!! She is such happy by her gift!

After that we had Bible hour with older girls.We also had wonderful time with them.

After we sang some songs we played game. Where girls competed among themselves who the first will drink milk.It was very funny!

Then we showed them children's clothes and it there was a preparatory part to Bible history about baby Moses.

After that we played game. Where they shall help to rescue Moses moving a basket down the river, answering questions on story. We made the river and a grass from paper. In a small basket placed a doll who was Moses. Girls very much liked this game.They excited to play at this game!

But most of all they liked to play the following game where we studied a Bible verse with them.
Those who got a ball to a bucket, had the right to burst the balloon. Where in the inside there was a word to the Bible verse written on piece of paper.

 So we played while found all words of a verse which we wrote on a blackboard.

You would see how they rejoiced that to burst a balloon! There were so many emotions, pleasures of delight and an applause!It was great fun time!

And at the end  girls did a craft, kid Moses in a basket. The craft was simple therefore they quickly finished  with that. But to some girls the help nevertheless was required. Anyway all were happy and excited that we were together!

Not many girls were this time. As many of them were sent to hospital because of their mental diseases :(

But we are going to visit this orphanage again soon. :)

Ok.In next post I will tell you about our shopping we had and all details and pictures of our project, Gifts to Orphans.I`m very exciting and have SO many to share with you all! So, coming back soon! :) Blessings!

Shoes

 Each time when we visit orphanages, each time it breaks our hearts at the sight of what footwear children wear... It breaks heart and very heartbreaking to look at it... The footwear very much worn out, with holes, with the wiped sole also isn't subject to repair. It is very big problem in each orphanage. One of the greatest problems, it`s footwear to children. Directors of all orphanages very much ask us to help with shoes to children.

 But we can't help to solve this problem. We ask you very much... Please, help to orphaned children! It`s urgent need! Some children wear footwear of the friends because their shoes is already so worn-out that isn't subject to repair. It`s too big or too small size of shoes for their feet.

It`s necessary footwear of all sizes and all types, winter, autumn, summer. Age from 4 years old to the adult, 35 years old. The footwear can be used, but in a good condition. Or we can buy footwear here from 80-100-140 hryvnias($10-12.5-17.5). Depends on that how many we will buy, what type of footwear and for what age.

Children practically have no footwear but wear what they have. They have no replaceable shoes, but only on one pair. Imagine how difficult it is necessary them and as they freeze in feet when their footwear get wet. There is no place to dry or shoes does dry some days. If footwear wet and to wear, it to collapse quicker.

 Imagine, what children feel when they look at someone at whom footwear better than their. Also imagine what they will experience when will receive new shoes or worn, but in the best condition. 

 Children pray, ask the Lord to help with their need and send them necessary footwear. Imagine, how they will be happy, delighted and impressed when the Lord will respond to their prayer... We ask you very much prays for this need.It`s cry of their soul.

• Please, to share about this need on social networks, blogs, and with your family, neighbors, church members, friends, prayer group, at school, at work, anybody  to help these precious kids in their need.

• Please, hotly pray God will do a miracle.

• Please, donate or send shoes...if God gives you a wish.

 Any your step is VERY appreciated!Thank you SO much!May the Lord richly bless you for your great kindness,Christian love and considerate care!Our awesome God can do a miracle!!!

Quick update

I`m very exciting to tell you that we had shopping and we were able to buy a lot of stuff for orphans!I have soooo many to share with you how God blessed us.I will share with you of pictures and say in details about our trip.But it`s will be little bit later.We have to finish with all things to the end.

Here I would like to share with you last visits of orphans at 2 orphanages.I will do a quick update because do not have much time and I have to tell you much more.

At Friday we had not Bible lesson with orphans as every time.We needed to decide some questions with director etc. So, we had fellowship with kids.Every time we come there, every time children ask us that brother Misha come to see them.Especially boys.They love much when he plays with them.Friends, you would see how kids were happy to see him!They simply flew up to him to give hugs! It was very sweet moment.Oh, how they excited!

Children often ask us to bring Bibles to them.We pray we can bring them children`s Bibles.At this time God blessed us and we could to bring them New Testaments to learn and read.

Oh, how they were happy to receive this gift!We did not expect their such reaction.It blessed very much our hearts.We had amazing fellowship and also God gave us opportunity to witness to teachers of these kiddies. We were so blessed!God was so good to us at this day!

Look at these precious happy kids.Are not they sweet?

They are so dear to our hearts and we love them so very much!

Next day at Saturday we had Bible lesson in other orphanage.God blessed us by wonderful meeting and amazing time with kiddies also!

Here kids received their Birthday gifts.Here I would love to underline that it`s very important moment during our meeting with them.Children LOVE VERY much these gifts.

When we only come to orphanages, without having entered yet into a class(room), children run to us and already speak that they had a birthday. Also they look so lovely in your eyes expecting the response or they will receive a gift. Children very much wait gifts! Think, what you would feel if nobody in your birthday congratulated you, didn't present gifts, a card, warm words etc. Recently (a month ago) I had a Birthday and I was very happy to hear congratulations from people dear to me, from my sweet friends, to receive gifts and to separate our dinner of love. It was remarkable day! It is a lot of memories and the pleasant moments remained in my memory and heart forever.I was very happy this day!

But what they feel at their Birthday?Nobody congratulates, doesn't tell warm and gentle words, doesn't grant gifts and doesn't share the sweets, a pie, balloons etc. Trust me. Children feel lonely this day and it seems that nobody loves and all forgot about you. You simply are necessary to nobody. Very sadly. But fact. :(

Knowing what they feel our desire and the decision was to grant them gifts on how many it possibly. Children are very glad and VERY much appreciate it! Sometimes even in a month beforehand they speak that they will have a Birthday.

We would be happy to receive toys, games, dolls to bless orphans, to bring a blessing from you and joy to them.

Thanks to those, who send toys and do this day special in life of orphans, brings pleasure and love.Thanks for your love to kids!God bless you!

Here we spoke about David and Goliath. Children were delighted simply when saw Goliath! They were impressed so VERY much and interested. Who this guy? they asked.It was so pleasant to all this unusual visualization, that even teachers came to look and listen to history.

Game.Who gave the right answer on a question of history. Had the right to throw a stone into Goliath as David.We made stones from old papers.

 Game to study the Bible verse. Children shall overthrow  a big stone, "Goliath". With help by of small pebbles.

Who did overthrow down Goliath, had the right to open a word of verse. Then we studied it.

Children love to receive and give their sweet hugs. :)

Craft with children.Everyone was busy.

Also Sasha and Lyuba had meeting with teens at this day as well.They had a good time with children also share the Gospel, singing songs and had fun.

We had a wonderful time with children at this day!God is so good!We love these kids and thank God to be with them, share the God`s tender love and His great kindness and warmly.

Our precious ones

Here I have promised to you will share with you our last meetings with children that we had. I am very excited and I rejoice about that, what the Lord does.How He is good to us and also blesses!

At first I will begin about a trip we make every Friday, to children with special needs. Undoubtedly children were VERY glad a meeting and couldn't wait already when we will begin. The class was full children, was a rather little to sit, as there were no enough places, some sat on a floor, but all were glad the meeting.

This meeting was a little unusual and differed from all. It would be desirable to make something unusual and to surprise children. As we should tell a Bible story about prophet Ilija and about all his acts and miracles. I have decided that the Bible history will be told not by me or sisters but a raven. Many of you know that ravens fed Elijah in days of famine and brought to him meat and bread."And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook." (1 Kings17:6) It would be desirable to diversify a lesson and consequently raven told story.

We searched a toy raven some weeks in all shops, markets and everywhere where only it was possible. Unfortunately we haven't found and it was necessary to do it by ourself. By means of knitted threads, chenille stems, wiggle eyes and a bow on a head it has turned out such interesting raven. 

Certainly she hasn't turned out which we to herself her(she was girl) represented, but has quitted very funny. :) As raven croaks.In Ukraine it`s karkat`. We named her "Karkarona". It was such joy to children and laughed at her name. You would see with what attention they listened to the story of ours Karkarona! In the class there was surprising silence! Children with such attention listened about prophet Ilija! We were delighted that have achieved result! Children so have fallen in love with our "guest" that in the end of meeting some of them approached and stroked her trying to talk with her.It was funny to observe on children. :)

But before the history, children have started to do a craft, raven. In the beginning we talked and asked kids, what the raven eats, where he lives etc. and was our preparatory part to history. As the craft was from paper plates. Children have colored it in black color.

How we didn't try to notify them that they would try worked over the work accurately, all the same some of them were soiled in black color and looked very funny and cute. Now I am sorry that haven't made a picture. It was ridiculous and amusing. :))) Children enjoyed and excited their work very much!

Well. When we have approached to that part of history where a  widow woman from Zarephath fed Ilija. We wanted to bless orphans with meal also.

Nadya has cooked pancakes on a flour and oil. When we gave them, we have told, imagine that each of you are prophet Ilija, and the widow is Nadya that feeds you. It was very exciting moment.

You would see with which pleasure and joy they ate it and asked still! Tell you a little secret. Nadya cooks very tasty and delicious!Shhhh! Do not tell her that.  :)  She is such wonderful and great cook and blessing for all of us.We enjoy her cooking very much! Her came up to cook such tasty pancakes only with a flour and oil. It was such great joy to children. There was so much pleasure and delight!

When we have played at one game, could study with children a Bible verse.
  "For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth." (1 Kings17:14)

One part of children hid meat drawings at room, where words of a verse were written. Other part of children were crows who looked for this food and should bring it, feed the prophet. Nadia was Elijah prophet. Children brought all words of a verse to her. Children were excited VERY much by this game!
It was so much fun when children looked for "meat".

After that children have continued to work over their projects. They have glued a beak to raven, wiggle eyes, bird arms, the Bible verse to a beak.It was such BIG joy to children very much that raven could move his wings! As they are attached by the brads.
They were excited SO very much and spoke, look my raven can fly!

Look at them.Are not they sweet and precious?

We were very glad to see happy kids.So happy and with full heart of joy we came back to homes.

Next day we could visit another orphanage where we also  spent time with children.
This time here we spoke about the first king in Israel, Saul.

 

Children very much rejoiced to play game where they could be a king. They said the desires that they would make if they were a king.After this game, Nadya has told them a Bible story how God chose Saul to be first king. (1 Samuel 9-10)

We played game to solidify their knowledge of Bible history about Saul. Also played game to study the Bible verse and we sang a lot. Children very strongly liked a song about Samuel that we have studied last time. They sing it with such joy and pleasure.

Also Sasha and Lyuba could have a meeting with teenagers, sharing the Gospel with them.They had a great time also!

 When we came back home, we have very much frozen because waited the bus about 40 minutes. Our brother Misha was in Russia with the father still. We recalled, laughed and dreamed that would reach home much faster, each of us dreamed of acceptance of a heat bath and hot tea. :) Though we have been dressed warmly, but we were chilled so strongly that couldn't move. We thought that we will be ill. But thanks God we all are live and healthy. The glory to the Lord that He keeps us safe from illnesses and different troubles!

 But we are SO glad and happy to visit orphans and to bring them pleasure, hope and love. To give our warm and gentle words, to give our tender hugs and time, that it is NOTHING in comparison of what as apostle Paul suffered in different travels and in his life.

 11:23 "Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 

 11:24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 

11:26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

11:27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 

11:28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches."

(2 Corinthians 11: 23-28) KJV

But here I would love to stop on the important thing.In this orphanage as in EVERY orphanage children have a big trouble with shoes. The snow melts now and children have very worn out shoes which has different holes.

They try to sew and recover footwear, but it - is enough of it only within several days. And as a result the footwear becomes improper more. Feet of children are wet for a long time.The wet footwear dries throughout several days. Besides that they have useless and worn footwear out, all of them have no replaceable footwear there.It`s catastrophe!

Our hearts are broken...It`s very heavy and heartbreaking situation.Children have not shoes to wear.

Here is a picture of the broken sole that is stitched by threads. Whether will suffice it on long in wet and still cold weather???

 

We ask you to pray, that the Lord has provided this need, has shown His love and care of orphans.If you can, please, send shoes to those who need it.Or donate, we can buy that here, probably it will be even cheaper than send. We can scan and send a copy of bill for shoes in personal e-mail.That is no problem.But most, we ask you to pray for children.God will provide shoes.Thank you so much!!!

Time is running out...

Time is running out for our latest project Gifts to orphans.We hoped that with the God`s help we can raise necessary finances that to bless our precious. It is sad a little we could not do it... But the Lord operates and supervises all. We can make nothing without His will and should only trust Him.He knows what He does.

We pray that the Lord has blessed also we could buy necessary things to orphans, shampoo, toothpaste, socks, undershirts etc. That these small gifts would bring them much joy. We have only a WEEK. Next week we are going to buy all necessary things for money that we have collected thanks to your tender love, kind and care of orphans. We are very grateful for that!!! Our hearts blessed and brought pleasure and happiness when in this project children took participation also. It simply melts your hearts when a small hearts want to bless the orphans too. Is not it a wonderful?

We are very exciting to bring these gifts to children!We are very exciting to see their happy, joyful shining eyes and hear their astonishment and admiration.It`s such a blessing!

We need to raise so much more.Our wish is to bless ALL of kids.It was very heavy decision for us which orphanage to bless.Our hearts are breaking we can not bless other our dear ones.We already made decision with prayers and thoughts.We ask you, please to pray and share this information.If the Lord gives you a wish, please donate using our chip-in or just paypal.Every $1-5-15-25 and more... is very helpful and appreciating.

 Please, share this information with your friends, family, relatives, neighbours, church, prayer group, social network etc.We really need your help!Thank you!

Thank you so much for any your help to bless a orphans in need!May the Lord richly bless you!We love you all!

P.S.If someone  gathers or wishes to send to children from the listed things or items here. Please let to us know. Many thanks!

All things work together for good

   Many of you know what happened with father of our brother Misha and Director of BOM.Many of you sent sweet encouragements and e-mails. Many of you hotly prayed and now pray. Many of your hearts and souls near the brother Misha in these difficult days of trials. And it is SO wonderful to know and see your Christ's love which is shown in acts. This is such blessing when many Christians uplift the prayers to the Lord and ask about His mercy, help or protection. All of us know as we depend on the Lord Jesus Christ. Our life and breath in His all-powerful and loving hands.He gives life and takes away...

But what blessing to live and enjoy life! To enjoy all delights of our surprising Creator here on the earth, to a small and surprising snowflake or a beautiful flower, an easy breeze or a solar heat, sea silence or all-powerful mountains. To rejoice of all little things in life that occur round you. And it brings the peace, rest and tenderness, such ease and freedom in soul. You just want to live! The Lord gave us all necessary in this life.

Friends, your prayers has heard!!! The Lord has given chance to live to one more person who was on the threshold of death. Nobody, even doctors didn't expect that the father of brother Misha will live! He is alive thanks to many YOUR prayers! He even has risen on his feet and has now started to eat well. Yes, he is still very weak and sick but he is alive! What can be more wonderful, when the person of cherished to your heart is alive? Our Lord is AWESOME God! Is not it a miracle?

But there is more to come. The second blessing which brother Misha has shared with us. The wife, one of his relatives, has accepted the Jesus Christ as personal Saviour, when he witnessed to her! What an awesome blessing!

Now we see as really "all things work together for good".

The First. If there was no this trial, nobody knows, when the son and the father would meet again. Our pastor couldn't visit him because of financial needs for a very long time.He prayed for a long time God give him chance to see his father.

The second. Before departure, our pastor Misha has read a place of Scripture:

"And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die." (Genesis 27-28)KJV

Also he asked us to pray that spirit of his father has revived as well as spirit of Jakob. That the Lord would prolong to him of years of life, if His will. And who knows, probably the father would go in eternity and without having said goodbye to the son...  But the Lord has made unexpected miracle! His spirit has revived at the sight and presence of his son!And he is alive! Is not it a great blessing?Wow!

The third. It would not be saved one more soul.What an awesome God we serve!

To the end of this week, our pastor should be here.So, we hope next week we will visit more our dear precious kids.

Thank you SO much for ALL your prayers and support!Thank you for all what you do for us and orphans as well.Thank you for your Christ love!May the Lord bless you!Much love to you all!

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings." (Psalm 9: 9-11)

Updating for all visits

Here I would like to share with you updating in our ministry for the last some weeks. We couldn't visit more often orphanages as earlier because of the happened troubles. But we continue ministry bit by bit.God is good and merciful to us! And we could had Bible lessons in several orphanages and to visit orphans with the program within these weeks. I was going every day to share with you, but appeared more and more affairs. And so at last I can share with you of blessings which we have.
 I won't describe in details each trip as usual, it will occupy for me a week. :)  I would want VERY much, but for the lack of time I can't. Therefore I will tell shortly about all.

 Here some pictures from different meetings with children.

 Vlad answered questions on story about Samson, with grips in hands.

 Next picture.Sasha has meeting with teens.

 Children are making a Bible craft.

 If you have noticed, children here dressed in the jacket or coat . Because was cold inside when there were cold days in Ukraine. I don't imagine how they slept...Nights are colder.
But now is much warmer.Praise the Lord and thanks all for your prayers!

 The next picture where Nadya played game with children. Who from children has given the right answer on a question on history about Samuel. Had the right to feed small Samuel with blindfolded eyes.

 It was very funny and amusive, when children pasted a small feeding-bottle in a wrong place.They LOVED this game!

And we have a huge blessing! The orphanage administration asked us to help with medicines both necessary medical and personal care items.We were SO glad that the Lord has sent in time the finances and we could bless the orphanage! Administration was VERY thankful and happy!

Friends, we are very grateful to you for your help, care and blessings which you send. You don't "realize" what huge value you have in the help to orphans,those who need the help and care.You would see joyful eyes of orphanage administration. We are VERY grateful for ALL your blessings and prayers!


The following some pictures are about how we have visited orphans with special needs. I will share several pictures. Because I really love these pictures of these kiddies. They such sweet and precious and make me smile!We had a great time with them at this day!

Aren`t they cute?

 

 All of them wanted stickers on their hands!

We were able to bless orphanage with diapers little bit.

 Here I would like to share about a great blessing.Do you remember this lovely and charming child?We have asked that you prayed for her(in the end of post) because she ate not well. Sometimes she had days when she ate NOTHING. All nurses, caretakers and administration worried, didn't know what to do with her.

 

 We could help a little with pills which were necessary for her. But we prayed and asked you. Guess what has happened? The Lord has heard our prayers! She has started to eat very well and she eats everything!  The medical aid isn't necessary to her any more! Our Lord is mighty and awesome!!!Praise the Lord!

Last week we could visit 2 orphanages also. I will try to tell and will share with you faster as I can.Huge thank to all of you for your support and prayers. We VERY much appreciate it and we glorify Lord Jesus!We love you all!Blessings! If I could, I would give my hugs to all of you! :)))

Come to Me, I will give you rest...

"Come to Me, I will give you rest"these words belongs to Jesus Christ who says it in His word SO many times.
I love this song, it so pure and beautiful.

Our Heavenly Father wants we trust Him with all our heart when we have some trials and troubles, sorrow, grief, cause, heart aches, even it`s hurts and heavy.Because "all things work together for good". God does the best in our lives.He loves us so much and He never wants brings us a pain because He is our Father and the best Friend. He wants we will be happy with Him and enjoy every moment of our life.He just work in our lives and hearts that make us better and purer for His glory.That we will be more fruitful.Yes, you do not see the light in such dark tunnel, yes, you do not understand why and other things.But our beloved Saviour wants you trust Him.I just trust what He says in Bible.Probably we never will understand His purpose.But He is God.His ways are perfect and the best.And after any trouble, God blesses SO greatly that you forget about all sorrows you had before.You trust more to Him and say, "yes, Lord, you was so right!"

One of my favorite Bible verses: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)KJV

Just trust Him.Then faster we will accept it in our life and make up mind to it, then the faster come the peace and rest in heart,  to us it will be easier to live.

Friends, we need your many prayers.We see and feel as devil harms our efforts in ministry, how he bother us and try to stop everything here. We need your prayers that the devil will be defeated in his attempts to harm us.

Lately Bible verse is in my head."Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them." (Job 1:6)

Many of you know this great story about Job, about his trials and how the Lord blessed him in the end.

Yes, we are far away from Job, we are not perfect as he was before the Lord, we will not have so many trials as he had.But our situation reminds me how trouble came one after other. 

First I would love to say about blessing we have.Recently we would inform you that you didn't visit our official website as spammers has cracked it.Somebody has told to us, it`s visible that who dislikes you strongly, as already the third time for year have cracked the website.I think that we don't need to think long who us strongly doesn't love and harms that people wouldn't learn about orphans and didn't help them. :)

But the glory to the Lord website already works. There were some difficulties and have spent more days than we thought.But anyway, our official website www.bibleorphanministry.com already works!Praise the Lord!

Yes, it is small harm if compared what happens.Simply it is really visible as the Satan harms.We are very sorry if it has created to someone inconveniences.

Before there was a great grief in our family, has burned down the house of our mom. Many of you already know about it. We asked you to pray strongly for it, as test only has begun. In the beginning I have strongly got confused and didn't know what to do.
 I have been VERY strongly frightened, not that has burned down the house, but what waited for us ahead, as to us have already informed. I should make the correct decision as Christian and to protect the family. It was very heavy, I cried, prayed, begged God to help to give to me wisdom and to help. It was very heavy to understand what is correctly.

One my dear friend has told that I should accept this decision that will bring to me the peace in heart.Just in moment I understood, she was SO right! I thank God for this my dear friend!I have remembered that learned recently children in a orphanage that we can win fear with God`s help. When I prepared this lesson, I have thought about, as I would like to become once courageous as David. But I hadn't to wait long. :) In this situation that has occurred to our mother, it was necessary to me boldness and wisdom in the correct decision. I had to make the decision that I VERY much was afraid. I had only 5 days.These days I wanted to hide in Jesus embraces as the small girl in embraces of the father or mother. That He strongly would embrace me and didn't release...It was awful days...

I have thought, I should win this fear as David has won Goliath. Guess what? When I have countenanced to it and I have accepted which that decision was afraid. The God`s peace has filled my heart! I have ceased to be afraid and I am NOT afraid any more. The Lord has helped to win this fear! Now I rejoice and I glorify the Lord! I would love to thank you ALL for your many prayers!I`m very grateful for all your wonderful e-mails and encouragements!It`s such great blessing to see and know how many wonderful brothers and sisters pray for us.Thank you so much for your Christian love! 

One more moment.Once I posted about that trial on blog.It hurts and breaks my heart.But when I published a post.In several minutes a felt peace in heart.I felt as many of you prayed for us.Isn`t amazing blessing? :)

It is no matter what was in my childhood and where I have spent, it has no matter that I grew out of my family,  but in orphanages, has no matter that was in the past. But we should live by future instead of past. It was the God`s plan and purpose. Yes it were awful days spent in different orphanages. But it was the God`s plan and I thank God for it.And I praise the Lord for that! I should care of my mother.It reminds me history with Joseph. When he was have sold to Egypt, it was more than awfully. But it was the God`s plan, that to saved his relatives and family. Many years of my Christian life, it was one of the most favourite my stories.And I love this story!

Our trial has not end yet...I`m very sorry that I can not tell to you of all details, this very personal. I trust that many of you have made the same. We would be very grateful if you continued to pray for this problem. The Satan wants to cause us the BIG damage and harm. I should protect myself, my sister Oksana and mother. A situation is VERY heavy. I would very happy if you pray that the Lord has protected us and has helped us with the decision of this problem. I don't know when is the end. The Lord knows. But we need many prayers, the God`s protection, the help and a miracle. Thanks!

The next. I named it, if not fire or conflagration but flood. :)

Some days ago we have come back home and have found out water on a floor, a computer table, etc. I couldn't understand technically whence water arrived? Then I have found out that water dripped from the inside of Internet a cable and it has caused to us of a few harms. I could not believe! How it happened? I was horrified when have seen that all electric wires, electric plug, charging devices and all electricity was in water.It`s was good that Internet cable was not connect to computer but it would burned away.Also router what I use for Internet was in water.I use router to connect Internet cable because network interface card burned in my computer some time before. :)

                                                   Can you believe that? :)

As the result we did not have Internet some days, I could not work on computer.And I have more work now than had before.
But we thank God, we came back to home in time and He protected while we were not at home.Nothing has not burned yet.Yes, it brought damage some furniture but not so awful as it could be.
The problem is that days earlier snow began to melt outside.Water on streets everywhere, we laugh need take a boat to swim to get somewhere.:) We had strongly frosts before, as many of you know already.
As a result our Internet cable has damage and water inside of cable  became to get inside of apartment.
We had water inside where we have computer and all electricity wires.It`s miracle that nothing were damade.Router was in water but I use it and very hope, it will work and everything will be well.

I thought that we will not have Internet for a long time for some reasons.But praise the Lord we can continue to work for the Lord!Even I have much more work.But it happened and what I can say.

But it is small harm that the Satan wanted to cause to us and wanted to stop our work for some time. The greatest need for what we now pray and we worry these days, for our pastor of Church and director ВОМ.His father at deaths door and he is dying... It crush and breaks our hearts.It`s so heavy to lose someone you love and who are dear to your heart.It`s hurts your heart, sorrow, eyes full with tears, pain, grief, loss...

We never met him personally.But our hearts aches because he is father to our brother in Christ, brother Misha.

Some years ago brother Misha has resulted his father in the Christ. According words of brother Misha, his father couldn't believe to his eyes as his son has changed. He couldn't believe in what he speaks. After all he was the bandit and the thief in the past who constantly broke the law, an orphanage, the street and prison were his house and family. Brother Misha spoke during some days and nights successively about love of the Lord, about as the Lord has changed his life and about salvation. Later his father has asked what I should make to be saved? Today he is the Christian. It was the happiest day in life of our pastor!

After many years ago, after brother Misha was imprisoned and left. His father has told him, once again you will get there, I don't know you any more and I do not want to see you. And it has occurred. Brother Misha got to prison second time when he was released, he many long years didn't see the father. But what the love of the Christ can make? The love of the Christ is capable to forgive, sympathize and bring together! It is SO amazing  and incredible! 

Today both of them are Christians, rejoice in the Christ. But the father of our pastor is dying. He is 75 years and has very sick heart. But we ask God`s mercy that the Lord has extends the years of life, if it in His will. It was more heavy for our brother that his father lives in Russia. It very much, very far from here. There 2 days are necessary to reach.

That day when all of us have learned about this awful news, heart of our pastor and ours has been broken with tears in eyes. He wouldn't have any cent that to visit the father and probably to say goodbye to him... It costs not small money. All of us hotly prayed and asked God`s mercy and miracle. Guess what? The Lord has made a miracle and has sent money this very day. Believe, that nobody expected that the Lord will answer SO quickly! It was the REAL miracle!Amazing!!!

So, today we ask you.Please, pray for brother Misha, cover him in many prayers.Pray for his father...Pray for traveling of our pastor, we do not know when he come back, probably in a week.May God bring him peace in heart and comfort in this difficult time.He needs our prayers and support as never before.Thank you!

This is not all.We have more troubles here...

 These all and other things stymie or make slow our ministry here and we can not serve full time as before.But we very hope it`s for a short time.Recently we began our new project to share the word about Down syndrome.But we should to stop for a while.We were excited so very much when we began.We very hope we continue soon but do not know when...It`s so heartbreaking we did not visit all our dear and precious kiddies some time.It`s breaks our hearts, knowing how they wait...Please, pray for us here.We need many your prayers.Thank you!

At the end I would say, what said to me one my friend:
The devil only attacks those who are a threat to him, and this shows us that we are worthy of Jesus and of His kingdom!  I like that! :)

One more not good news.I have told you before about a family who is going to adopt their precious little girl Amelia.They have a great trial in their lives also.Please, lift them up in your prayers.As Satan destroy everything.Their blog http://bringamelia.blogspot.com/
