What is doing God

Do you see these 2 young beautiful ladies on the pictures below?One, on the right side, you already know. Our beautiful Olga.The other girl, I want to introduce her to you.I am so excited to tell you what is doing God! :)

First. We really want to thank everyone, who participated and helped raise funds for our student Olga. To get an education and for her daily needs. With God's help, we were able to raise all nesessary money and even a little more  $1.739. :) All Glory to God! Thank you very much to all for your prayers! This is such a great blessing, prayer support!Thank you!Thank you!Thank you for everything!

 One day in September, when we had very cold days. Every day, poured cold and icy rains. The two girls came to the church in summer shoes. Walking in the cold and rain and at a cold puddles.  Only from the thought of it getting cold . When someone asked. "Are you not cold ?" "No", they replied in the affirmative shivering from the cold... 

    Nadya shared with us.When she went to buy boots for girls because they had not. First they tried to help to Olga's friend, Masha. Nadya did not even have time to help discern, whether they are good for Masha, suitability of size, etc. Sweet girl immediately shod boots on her feet . "Yes , Yes good! It`s suitable for me!" . It was obvious that she poor girl, felt so cold that was ready to wear any shoes, just to keep warm. Right from the shop she is pleased was walking home in new boots. Her face and eyes were shining with happiness. :)

Thanks to your support, the two precious girls do not feel cold at feet any more. Thank you!

Ok.Let me tell you from the beginning about Masha.

On that day, when all the students arrived to school and settled in a dormitory, where our Olga now study. It was and our part also, meet with the teachers to know everything, pay for everything, etc. 

  At that day we were sitting in a dorm room, where our student settled and we talked a little on the Christian subject. In the side, on her bed, the other girl sat quietly and attentively listening the conversation. We quickly got acquainted and continued our conversation. She continued to silently listen and watch us . We noticed that she was alone , without parents. "A Brave girl..." , I thought. "She came to school alone, without parents and help". But she kept sat and listened . 

     

    On that day, we absolutely had no idea that this was just the beginning ...The beginning of what prepared our loving and wonderful Saviour, Lord Jesus. :)

  The next day, when we came to Olga to school to take her to church. Masha came up to us and asked softly, "Can I go with you to church also?" We were surprised and pleased to hear it! "Of course!"  So, she gladly joined with us.

  

     One day, when we met and became acquainted closer. And when I asked, what school she graduated, I was shocked to hear it. "I graduated from orphanage this year and  came to this school." "What? are you serious ?" She smiled sweetly at me. I was not ready to hear this...

"Oh, Lord, I do not know what you are doing... But this is amazing..."  I prayed in my heart....I was shocked that the Lord has brought to us one more, this precious girl, who spent many years in orphanage. One more soul, who may need the support...

Since that day, for the third consecutive month, Masha faithfully attends every ministry of our church. :)

But that's not all. Other boys and girls from the same school come to us for church service. Is not that amazing? Is not that God's providence? Olga came to school not only get an education, but many of the young people were able to hear the word of God, and grieving soul find peace and rest in the Lord.Isn`t it awesome what is doing God? :)

We are so excited for Masha and other young souls, who visit our church services!

Would you please, pray for Masha and for these young souls? Pray for their salvation and their hearts will be open  to Christ?Thanks a lot!

"For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 

For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it." 

(Isaiah55:8-11) KJV

Sad reality

When we asked Zhenya to show the house where she wanted to live there.

Here's what we saw...

This day was cloudy and gloomy. From what we saw, seemed to become even darker. The house is neglected and in terrible condition...

When we came into the house there was heavy to breathe, despite the fact that the doors there are never closed.I was afraid to breathe there, afraid to pick up a some bacillus TB or even any other of disease. 

Therefore, took a deep breath, by making a few quick pictures, I was in a hurry to leave this place as soon as possible to the street.

If you remember, that I mentioned that Zhenya wanted to live in the house mother in law, who is ill open tuberculosis.Now in this house no one lives. 

We talked to this poor girl about this not good idea, explaining that she and her family can get sick of this terrible disease. Then she said that to make a repair. When we counted how many repairs will cost, and what to do there overhaul, change floors, windows, doors, etc. Bacillus  tuberculosis can live for years in an old and damp house . It turned out that all this is going to be expensive . It will be easier to buy a small and modest house than to make repairs to this house. Where there is no guarantee that you will not become sick of this terrible disease.

It is a very sad reality, Friends...

Terribly that hundreds and thousands of people live in the same state . Alcohol, drugs , poverty , unemployment, without hope and a future... 

Horribly, how Satan destroys the lives of these people. They slowly die without seeing the light, faith in their lives and hopes for the future. 

Awfully and heartbreaking thing is that many of the children live in these homes... Naked, the sick and the hungry can look into your eyes begging bread. 

Sadly, because of this, many thousands of children get into orphanages, baby houses. Abandoned by parents, without care, without seeing or knowing how to receive and give love. With broken hearts and distressed . This is awfully! Terrible how Satan destroys families and lives. It is so and so sad reality...

Zhenya and her family moved to another house in other town. One of the relatives of the husband Kolya gave permission that they lived in her home until spring. This is a very modest and old house.

Many poor people in rural areas live in similar homes. 

But it seems that it's warm in the winter.We are very hope.

God has blessed their movement just in time! Because the next day was going come the owner of the house, where they lived before. It is amazing how God organized everything!

But again need your prayers for this family. Since spring they have nowhere to live again. We think and pray how to help this poor souls...

Also, a neighbor of the house said that in this house there lived a man, who was ill with tuberculosis.The owner, a relative of Kolya, says that's not true. But you'll never know where the truth... As the owner recently got out of prison for murder in a drunken company. Some of relatives still suffering from TB. 

Your prayers still need very and very much for protection of this family!They feel so desperate...Pray that God has provided a good shelter in the future, in 4 months. And for all their spiritual and physical needs.Thanks a lot for your prayer support, Friends!

Housing again?

We call these recent months, September and October, "Months of Housing". We have to provide a housing for one more family. :)

We were looking for housing for family of Zhenya, then for Yaroslava. And now we have to find housing for a family Kozak. The owner has sold an apartment and we have to find a new home for them. We have only 2 weeks! This is a very and very short period of time! 

In addition, we need to help find housing for another orphaned boy. This is interesting what God is doing!

Olga and Sasha pray that God has provided them with housing. They have nowhere to go. Will you support them in prayer to God to set it up? That we will find not expensive and good housing for this lovely and young family.This is urgent, Friends!Thank you!

Also continue to pray for my health. The other day I felt a little better. But today the whole day I spent in bed again. Thank you very much for all your wonderful love, prayer support and emails. It humbles my heart in thanksgiving to God for all of you.

My love to all!

Quite a stressful week.

We have some troubles and this week is quite stressful for us. I feel very upset and disappointed. Some moments absolutely breaks my heart.My eyes do not dry from the tears. Several days already my hearts hurts... I very hope it is not because all these troubles. Would you pray, please? Pray God protected us from evil, pray for wisdom and strength,  do Lord`s will and see His guidance and good health for us. We really need your prayer support  these days.Thank you very much!

P.S. I have several updates for you and would like to share . I am going to do it every day. But...it is hard. I will do it as soon as possible. When I will feel physically better. Thank you for all your love!

Olga is at home

Hello everyone! I am very glad to tell you that our sweet girl Olga is at home, she is not at hospital.She is healthy and continues her studies at school.Thanks to your many prayers and support, she started to recover very quickly. She is very grateful for all the prayers and support to assist her.

Praise God for all His mercies and blessings!

Also as you can see on our thermometer, on the right side of the blog, we need only $261 to be fully funded. Awesome!Thank you very much, who is helping to support her studies and in her other daily needs!God bless you!!!

Terrible suffering and then be surprisingly blessed

I am sooooo thrilled to tell you amazing news and blessing!!!It seems that my heart now will jump out for joy and excitement. :)

But first. It is a heartbreaking and terrible story. :(

It is only a little part of an orphaned girl, who had so many troubles in the last few weeks. It is just a few things what happens with orphans after they leave orphanages.I will tell you a little what are the difficulties and trials meet face to face these lonely and defenseless children.It will be heartbreaking story with happy end.

Well. I will start from the beginning.
Do you remember that several months ago we asked you to pray for a one precious soul, Yaroslava?Do you remember that we did not know what to do and how to help her?All we could, it is pray for her...

Very soon, director of the dormitory where she lived , began to tell pressuring on her every day . That Yaroslava would enroll in some trade school. If she will not go to this school , director would kicked out this poor girl on the street. Of course Yaroslava was very scared and under pressure , with tears and fear she went there to study. But the worst thing is that she feels embarrassed there, because it's school only for boys. She is only an one girl of 22 boys of her group . At this school, where about 130 guys are only 2 or 3 girls . 

How do you think she feels like there ? Take classes, where you do not want , where you feel uncomfortable and pressure. Is it fair to acquire profession boys what do not need for a girl, only because not to be on the street?

Director of dorm promised that this sweetheart could live there for another year. Then, each day she changed her mind. That Yaroslava will be able to live just before the New Year. Then, just before December of this year. Then, she said different. And it was every day! One day, she said. You go to that trade school, then you must live in the dormitory of the school. 

Trust me. We saw this dorm. It seems worse than ever seen before! Windows and doors are beaten. Locks broken out. Torn mattresses on the beds, the beds are broken. Horrible spectacle. Moreover guys often fight with knives. Police there is often a guest. 

And the director wanted that this precious girl lived in a dorm for boys? This poor girl, in tears,  every day called me pouring out the pain of her soul....

Oh, my!It is so heavy seeing poor orphan in tears and feeling myself so helpless! All we could. It is give comfort her and pray trusting to the Lord.

Then in a one or two weeks again а trouble... 

Administrator of dormitory was cleaning all sorts of unnecessary things from one of the rooms, where there was a storage room.In that storage, all children(of the dorm) could to store their winter and various other things. 

Some winter clothes what belong to children orphans, including things of Yaroslava the lady threw to garbage on the street. It was the only one Yaroslava`s winter jacket, boots, and a few other clothes! Can you imagine the shock of these children??? What did they feel? Who would wipe their tears? 

With only a few things that belong to them, someone without their permission dispose of them. Throws in the trash, depriving the only one things.It seems that these "graduated" children still live in orphanage... 

When Yaroslava complained to the director of the dorm about this trouble. The director replied coldly to her. "That's your problem, deal with them yourself." And that's it.... :(

When children start to complain about the workers of  dormitory, they name-calling them rude and demeaning words. Humiliate them. There is no understanding, etc. 

Yaroslava not once complained about workers and crying about which humiliating and rude words they called them. The administration does not believe the words of children thinking them liars. Or may not want to believe because it is beneficial to them? 

Then this sweetheart was sick 3 weeks. She is now much better and she feels good. Glory to God! But another problem again...

One teacher from the school, where the study Yaroslava came and began to complain to the director dorm that Yaroslava shirk school.If she will not come to class , she was turned out of school ?What?

The director knew at the time that BOM supports Yaroslava . We bought her food and medicine . She called us and started to complain. We are quite well aware of this girl and we knew that she could not cheat. After listening to the director we have explained , giving her to understand that we believe more to Yaroslava, and no one to another, who was involved in this situation, we have never had any problems with her and that she really is sick. This woman unexpected that we will stand up for this poor orphan . She paused for a moment. Apparently not knowing what to say. After a moment, she said , "well I 'll decide problem myself" . But we knew well, who was right and that she will no longer offend this poor girl .

But the story is not over...

When Yaroslava felt a little better , the director has again started to put pressure on her. If she does not go to school, she would kick her out of the dorm . If I was a mother, I would not let my child in this state to go to class. But sometimes we are helpless ... 

At this time in Ukraine was terrible cold. Usually this weather is in late October or early November . But not in the middle of September! Many houses , schools , kindergartens , hospitals, etc. not heated . And many people have became ill . We were worried that Yaroslava not feeling still well, went to school, get sick even worse. But by the grace of God and the prayers of many , she feels good.

At this time , all students received stipend . When her turn came, Yaroslava  was refused . Explaining that she  shirked all the classes at school . When she started to explain that brought sickness certificate from doctor that she was really sick. She still was refused.

Poor girl again in tears, came pouring out of her heart . She had hoped that this money will be able to buy something to get dressed and put on shoes . After all her belongings thrown out , as I mentioned above. This is terrible! How it can be ?Where is the justice? This is a crime!

"Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: For their redeemer [is] mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee". (Proverbs 23:10-11)KJV

This is her field and money belongs to her!

We realized that the head teacher of the school, is up to something and is not going to give money. This precious soul every day reminded him of stipend. We decided to pray and ask God to intercede and intervene on behalf of this poor orphan. If in the next week, nothing happens. We thought to go and ask him. Why did he illegally holds the money of that student girl? And that Yaroslava went and wrote a statement about head teacher at the prosecutor's office that she would have given her money. 

The head teacher became even more angry and was not going to give this poor girl owned her stipend finding all kinds of excuses. At the last meeting, he threw her out of the office and having called humiliating her.

And do you know what? We did not have long to wait! Very soon, this man went unexpectedly somewhere. No one could understand why he just "left" his job without a reason. Later, everyone knew that he was caught in a very bad case and was disgraced for all the school. 

"A [good] name [is] rather to be chosen than great riches, [and] loving favour rather than silver and gold". 

I do not want to say what. It is very bad. But not because of the money. He was deprived of his actions because a criminal one. Now director of this school is looking for another head teacher or vice-principal. Woman, who temporarily replaces him, and found out the problem Yaroslava promised that next month she will receive a stipend for two months. 

We were VERY surprised that God has answered our prayers and so quickly resolved the issue. Wow!It is amazing!

 "Rob not the poor, because he [is] poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:  For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them". (Proverbs22:22-23)

All this happened during little more than month...:( This sweet girl has undergone so much misery and hardship and shed so many bitter tears ... It's all horrible and heartbreaking ...

But God loves this precious and lovely girl! You will not believe, but Heavenly Father sent her housing!

A one beautiful and lovely family decided to support this beautiful young girl. God connected  their hearts by an invisible thread of love. :) They sent her huge amount of blessing, which is enough to rent an apartment for a year! Also they blessed her with new shoes, winter boots, autumn/spring jacket and other things! It is more then amazing!WOW!

When we were looking for housing for family of Zhenya. At the same time, we looked for apartment for Yaroslava. It was not easy. We had some difficulties. But God is SO good as always! :)

We decided to make her a small and pleasant surprise showing how God loves and cares about her. We bought flowers and balloons. And left a little message on the card.

When we were walking to the apartment, she absolutely had NO idea what is waiting for her! :)

There was a note which had a text:
Dear Yaroslava!
God loves you! He heard your heartfelt prayers and sent you this rented apartment.
Since this day you can not worry about where you will live next months.
Only live, be happy and thank your Heavenly Father, who always takes care of his children, especially orphans who love Him. :)

 With Love in Jesus: BOM and M. family <3

She was blown away!

                                                  She is such a treasure!

This lovely girl was AMAZED!And all time said," I am in shock. I can not believe! I can not believe!" :)

                                                     We love her so much!

This sweetheart said that she is even MORE then happy and hugged everyone :)

Then she began to learn her home.

Also she was surprised that there is piano. Honestly, we were surprised too. :) We know that Yaroslava dreams to learn play on piano. When she saw it, she start to play immediatly!She was SO excited!

We pray God will make it possible that her dream come true some day. It will costs her $50.00 per month. Maybe someone is interested to help this precious girl her dream come true? :) It is not late yet to get in music school. We do not wish she study at trade school for boys, where she is now and very soon she will leave it. If God gives you a wish, please email us bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks!

This is not all! Yaroslava will not live alone. There is enough place for several girls! So, we plan to settle someone there.How is AWESOME this blessing?! :)

I am just AMAZED how God organized everything and did everything in time!

You will not believe it , but we know this treasure only 3 months! When we found out that she will have no place to live after a few months , we began to pray that God would be given her shelter. At that point, we had NO idea that we will support her, and that the BOM will take part in it. We invited her to our church , and since then , she faithfully attends every service . As it is very easy to talk with her , so we became friends with her very quickly. Then more we learned what she had suffered as a child in the orphanage and now. The more it broke in pieces and humbled our hearts ... 

After a few weeks Yaroslava will have to leave the dorm. Just a few days ago, she was very worried and prayed.  She just had no where to go! But God sent housing in time and she is very happy! Praise Him for that!!! God is awesome and amazing!!!!!!  :)

"Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow". (Isaiah1:17) KJV

Need prayers for healing

I was going tell you about some awesome blessings we have. But a some precious soul needs our prayers of healing during these days.

Olga student, who because of your wonderful care and support today is getting an education. She is very glad! 

This sweet soul needs $661 more to be fully funded! Our thermometer on the blog, shows that we are so close to our goal $1700! :) Great! Thanks a lot everyone, who is taking part in it. 

But on Tuesday from school by tutor was called an ambulance and she was taken to hospital with high fever. On examination she was diagnosed with purulent tonsillitis . Poor girl . Olechka is very sick right now and looks very sickly. She can not walk alone. When she stands up, she feels dizzy and feels bad. I do not know the reason . Maybe because of the high fever? 

But on the first day, when we came to visit her , we have not talked for a long time . And she decided to show us the wound on her hand opening it, because she already  putted a drip. It was a bit bleeding . She said, "Oh, I wish I did not show you it. I feel sick".  Poor girl suddenly felt bad  and fell to the floor. We have not even had time to react, because we did not think that she might lose consciousness! Oh, my! We're all frightened started to call on the help of nurses . We worried that she did not have a concussion because she hit of the head. Most  sadly that we could not catch her and give help . As we were talking at the door , through a special small window, where you can visit the sick in the isolation ward and communicate. All that we could shout it , knock on the window and call for help. We were very scared. Poor girl . Nurses ran in time and looked  fearfulness also . When we explained to one of the nurses that Olga girl from the orphanage , alone and she needs special support . The nurse started to calm us , that we would not have to worry , because there are all good providers in this ward . And they will take care of this precious girl . It's a little reassured us .

 Every day we buy it necessary that the doctor prescribes medicines and food. The hospitals are not well fed. If you no one will bring additional food, you'll be a long time to recover, or even more sick...

This loving soul needs your prayers now and these next days.Also, please, keep pray we can raise all necessary funds to help this sweetheart with education and getting medication to be healed soon.Thank you so much!

Not good news

Well. I have not good news for you, dear Friends.

All the while we were busy in search of housing for family Zhenya . 

We glued  announcements wherever possible, called , went to several towns , walked for hours through the streets and homes, and asked the people, also we left the announcement in some newspaper . In those cities, where we thought we settle this family , there are no agents or brokers, who could help in the search for housing. People have to do it yourself. It seems, you can spend months in searching of housing...

It was difficult, because it is very cold right now in Ukraine +7, +10C(+44.6, +50F) This weather is usually in late October or November. Do not even want to leave the house, when the rain every day for 6 weeks, very cold and damp. Brrr! Many people have started to get sick. We are all , by the grace of God are healthy.

Rain washed away everything. We  had to renew the announcements  . And all this is to no avail. We can not find housing for this poor family. We do not know what to do. Maybe God has a different plan , or we just have to wait or go to other cities and towns ? I do not know. We need your prayer support , friends. That God has opened what is in His plans. What He wants that we would do. That He would direct our hearts and eyes , where He wants,  where ever the family settled.PLEASE, keep pray!Thanks a lot.

Zhenya is worried much. Almost daily calls and asks, if we found something ...

So beautiful sky on the way home!

Few minutes later. :(

P.S. Even in these desperate days we have AMAZING blessing! I can not wait to share with you all! :)

What is with Zhenya`s family

The first, we would like to thank you all for prayers for this poor, Zhenya`s family.

The second, PLEASE, keep praying!

Finally, I can tell you some news that we have for today.

Since that time, as happened this grief and trouble at this young family, we visited them a few times to do something about this issue. But it was hard, because precious little baby Victor was sick and his mother was with him at the hospital. Husband Zhenya works till 8.00 pm, and he is unable to decide something. Finally a sweet baby is feeling better by God's grace, and he is at home.

The family still lives in the house that this poor girl bought. But every night they are going to bed and DO NOT know, whether they will spend the next night in this house. Of course, they are frightened and feeling discouraging. You can imagine what they feeling...

We spoke with several local authorities. Here's what we found out. First . The police is doing their job in concerning aunt of Zhenya . I do not know how this will end , and whether she will be in jail. But her aunt is famous by not a good reputation in the town. 

 The second. We have asked some questions and asked for help . Since Zhenya is the orphan and has a newborn baby. She also acquired the government house , which generally can not be sold . There are certain laws in our country. That is a BIG trouble even for government staff! There so many details. That not to confuse you , because the laws of our country and the laws of other countries can be different . After talking with the local authorities, we realized that the best option for this family, to move from there  in search of a new home. Now we are working on it. This may take some time. One kind person blessed $500  this poor family. Glory to God !!! That will be enough for a few months to rent a home for them!

PLEASE, we ask you heartly continue to pray fervently and unceasingly for this affected family. Pray that we were able to find an  inexpensive and good house/apartment as soon as possible . Also, for  a  new work for Kolya , as he forced leave this one, in connection with the move.Thank you VERY MUCH!

If Heavenly Father moves your heart to help this family. Donations can be made through PayPal BOM thebibleorphanministry@gmail.com  Thanks a lot!May God bless you!

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!

Incredible blessing to Kozak family!

A while ago we thought and prayed. We did not know what to do. We knew that we will have several projects. And all these projects were urgently. We knew it would cost a huge finances.

 Honestly, we did NOT know, what Projects to start first. Since it was necessary to help  poor Lena , who had been big term pregnancy and she undernourished and had many other difficulties . Our desire is that a baby girl Sophia was born healthy to the delight of her loving mommy and glory of God. We also urgently needed to raise funds to help Olya go to school and help in the basic needs. 

By the grace of God Lena feels good because of your love and care. Olya is in school getting education. By the way. Please, keep pray for Lena. Today or tomorrow she should give a birth of little precious angel. We hope. :) 

But at the SAME time, we needed to raise finances to continue to support the family Kozak with their cute kiddie Ehdick. 

The year already has gone as BOM supports this sweet family. Wow!Time flies so fast!

These pictures have been taken year ago.Do you believe it? :)

Through your prayers and care, they raise their baby strong and healthy. Aren`t he is cute? Everyone here adore him :)

Sasha continues his study at the trade school . Olga is a very loving mother . She often says , " I'm so glad and happy that I did not leave Ehdick in an baby house and did not listen to blandishment workers of orphanage . Everyone said, that you will not unable to do it. You are very young . Why do you need it? You have to get an educating, etc. Now I can not imagine my life without my babe". So priceless.

We understood that and knew very well, if we do not help this precious family, they will be on the street. Hundreds of thoughts, worries, our heads were spinning! What to do? How to be? All we could do, was to pray. Pray to the Lord leaving this need to Him . Trusting that He would provide. Plead Him to do a miracle and take care of the family. He sees everything. He knows everything.

And do you know what?! :) Our great God prompted hearts of an one beautiful Christian family from Australia, wrote to us and inform that they would like to help this family, so that they can pay for rent and their other needs.Oh, my! Reading the email, I could not believe. Is it dream or what?How it can be? INCREDIBLE! It is amazing how God works and takes care!

Thus God sent HUGE gift of love $3000 to this precious family Kozak, for ONE MORE year! Unbelievable! It is incredible how God pours out His tender love at His children!Praise God!Praise God!

It is even more overwhelmed and humbled our hearts when they said, "... we are not worthy at all to even do YOUR shoelaces up on your feet. We are not important or special people, and our desire is that the Lord gets full credit for the work HE does". Just tears... Tears of joy. Oh, how great and good our Heavenly Father!Tell me.What is impossible for Him? 

"Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" 

Jeremiah32:27

THANK YOU!Thank you very much for your generously and amazing support! I often think that our "thanks" never will be enough...All glory to the Lord Jesus! Only He worthy of praise and honor!

EXTREMELY URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

A few days ago I received a phone call. Picking up the phone, I heard the bitter and desperate cry of a young girl. Who in depressing,   told me terrible experiences in her life right now. She is overwhelmed with grief...

  Zhenya is 16 years old orphaned mother, who gave birth a small boy Vitya 4 months ago.She got to marriage for father of her son. But they survive and live in such poverty.We support this family as much as we can.

  Several months ago, she bought a house from her aunt for $625 and moved  to live to this house in another town. 

When we were there last time, we explained to her that she should do the paperwork, that this is her own home. It's not a good thing that she bought a house without documents.

  A few days ago, she learned that she can NOT live in this house, because it is belongs to government and such houses are not sold at all. 

She is on the street already! She has no right to live there because the house does not belong to Zhenya at all. A true owner of the house must come and live there.

It sounds that aunt Zhenya cheat to her. Now, Zhenya, with small baby Victor have nowhere to live!  

  Zhenya wrote a statement to the police at her aunt. Went to the local authorities and explained the situation and asked for help, etc. But she was denied it. 

I do not know how this will end... But we ask you to pray very hardly, PLEASE. Zhenya crying bitterly and does not know what to do and where to go...After all, she had nowhere to go and ask for help...

Please, pray that the local authorities have done something because it is their duty!Pray that God will protect Zhenya and her baby and help to solve this trouble.

If this girl will not find in the near future a place to live. Government employees can take away her precious son and place him in an baby house. In order to protect a newborn baby from hunger, cold, and give a roof over his head, a children's home...

From  despair and hopelessness, Zhenya is forced to move to the house of her mother in-law, who abuse alcohol and kicked her out of the house some time ago. But more than that, her mother in law is ill with tuberculosis! She does not take any medication and does not interested in fact that was waiting for her and what kind of life she leads. It is VERY dangerous to live in that house! Alcohol abuse, sickness, the crime there . Zhenya, her husband and the child can become infected with this terrible disease that has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in our country.

Ukraine holds the 2nd place in Europe in the incidence of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis - the only officially recognized as an epidemic in our country, which has lasted for 17 years, since 1995. According to official statistics, ill with tuberculosis in Ukraine 457 thousand people, according to unofficial - about a million. Every day, more than 100 doctors diagnose patients. 1 hour in Ukraine four people are infected with tuberculosis and dies. 

Among the causes of death from infectious disease tuberculosis is more than 80%. 

When I explained to this poor girl that this is not a good idea to live with her mother in law with a TB patient and who abuse alcohol . She said, I have no choice ...

Oh, my!PLEASE, pray for all this situation!

Yes! It happened!

  It happened dear Friends! God answered our prayers!It happened a miracle!!!

The very last day God sent a wonderful blessing to Olya enough not for a month but for FOUR months!Oh, my! It is AMAZING!Praise God!!!!

  Thank you VERY MUCH for your enormous concern and efforts to help. Thank you SO much for your participation and prayers. We are so excited and happy! It's amazing to see how God blesses through His precious children and generously pours His wonderful blessings! Just for a day we raised 45% of needed funds. It is almost half! Wow! Only alive God is God of wonders!

  Our wish is to raise $1,700.  So, we still need $921 more. PLEASE, keep pray!We believe with all our hearts, when God began to bless, He will finish and not leave on the half way. :)

  Olga entered to the Lyceum- school. Yesterday was a bit of a difficult day. It took some time that would settle her in the dorm. Then all the students of the Lyceum gathered in the auditorium and had a meeting and introduction with the administration of the school. Then the meeting of the  group in class and getting to know the teachers. We were able to pay for tuition, housing, etc. All this took some time and we're all a little tired. For Olga it was a special and exciting moment. When we said goodbye, this precious girl cried herself suddenly. In the beginning it will be difficult for her... After all, everything is new for her. The new city, the people, the place of housing, bandmates, a way of life. She started a new life... She worries, a lot of thoughts and impressions.

We would be so thankful, if you would pray for this precious soul.That the Lord will help her in everything.Thank you!

Thank you very much for giving her a chance to have a future!
