Baby shower for Nadya

Surprise! Yes, Nadya(the BOM staff) got married and became pregnant. It was hard to keep this secret :) A little baby boy should come to the world in a month.

Nadya became pregnant, and the doctor said that thanks to pregnancy learned that her spinal hernia increased. Also he said that in 2 years it would happened anyway and Nadya would become disabled person... :( How terrible for the young lady! But Nadya learned earlier about her trouble, thank God. It eventually start to cause terrible pain and Nadia stopped to walk. She simply was not able. Later, doctors admitted that they were going to draft documents of her disability because they  believed that the legs will be refuse and she would not walk... But Nadya is spirit strong woman! She did not despair and start searching herself how start to walk. Thanks to the efforts she found a doctor, who could help in her treatment and do without surgery. And a month later due to special exercises, she began to walk! Today she feels great and the baby is healthy and growing well! Doctors can not believe their eyes and say it was a miracle. Yes, it's a real miracle that the Lord has made! We all and Nadya`s family heartly thank you for your fervent prayers! Thank you VERY MUCH sweet Friends!!!! Thanks to the support of your prayers the miracle happened!

I LOVE very much to do surprises! :) To make someone to say "Wow"! :))) But who don't like?! Ha!

So, we wanted celebrate this miracle, this special event, make a surprise, Baby Shower for her and it was a sweet possibility to have fellowship with the church and friends. 

I wanted to make something special as she is my dear friend for 20 years already. Wow! And we never fighted and yell till today. Ha ha! Yes, we had misunderstandings as all people have. But we understand each other perfectly. I`m very blessed to have her as my dear and precious friend!!!! ♥

We were super excited to find this such a beautiful and wonderful place! I thought, "Hmm, it will be a perfect place for Baby Shower."

Nature is beautiful in the woods! People try to save trees building houses.

And they did these cute houses for birds.

And so we all came and prepared special place for our mommy arrival.

Our centerpiece, Diaper motorcycle :)

Everyone was busy doing their work.

Then everyone was expecting the arrival of our mommy. And everyone was excited and waited to see the reaction of Nadya. :)

I told my friends blindfolded Nadya from home and without saying anything to bring to this place. Ha ha! Yes, they told her where to go and where to come around. It was so fun to watch and it was hard not to laugh!

She absolutely had no idea what awaits her!!! :))) All were silent, even the children were silent. I think they were wondering what is going.

"Surprise!!!" All cried out when she took off the blindfold. Nadya was amazed and of course was pleasantly surprised! "Where I am? Where I am? Wow! How beautiful!"  lol. Everybody applauded and was happy for her :) It happened! Surprise succeeded! Ha ha!

All together

We had a meal before having fun. As everyone was hungry already. It was sweet time of fellowship.

Then we had a lot of funny games.We had a great time!

The idea of the game is "Mommy needs an extra set of hands" so daddy is helping mommy change the baby.  Daddy is blindfolded and mommy can't use her hands to help only say what to do. 

It was hilarious!

Next game. Wins the one, who has the greatest number of diapers hang on the rope for a minute!

One of the funniest baby shower games is for the women break into teams (up to five persons per team). Each team has a doll, blindfold and diapers. The object is for each participant to place the blindfold on, take the current diaper off the doll and place the new one on while blindfolded. After the first person finishes diapering, they run to the next team-mate who places the blindfold on and has to do the same. The first team to finish diapering wins!

Moms sometimes have to do some work and look after the baby at once. Would the daddies cope, holding the child and do multiple jobs at one time? Who will to hang the biggest amount of clothing per minute, winner!

Kiddies also took part in the games!

They were so excited, curious and thrilled!

I love queue in the game because everyone wants to take part.

                             

Players must use a chopstick held in their mouth (no hands) to pick up binkies from a table. We took wooden skewers for burgers. First player to pick up a certain number of binkies or player that picks up the most in the allotted time wins. This is not easy! But it was hilarious!

Olga won!

So amusing when brothers played!!!

More practice and bro. Misha learned how to do it!

Who the first drink the liquid from the bottle with no hands, wins!

Everyone left the wishes for baby boy. So sweet memory.

Time to open gifts.

We had such a great and amazing time! Awesome!!!! It was so beautiful, so fun and lovely time with the church and our friends! Nadya was thrilled and so happy! Everyone was pleased and remember funny and amusing moments. :) We plan come back to this gorgeous place sometimes.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 

 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. 

(Psalm 133)

Good and not good news about Anya

A while ago we had VERY urgent prayer request about our sweet Anya on facebook. She was in very critical state and could die at any day!

When Annya was about 4 years old or so, her father slapped so hard that he broke her rib. Later, father died, her mother drank and the girl got to the orphanage, where nobody her was not engaged. Since then, about 15 years Anya tormented daily from the pain greatly. 

Few weeks ago, she had twice called for an ambulance and taken to hospital. She had a high temperature, could not talk from the pain, and cried. Poor girl. :( Doctors say she needs urgently do the surgery because a broken rib can penetrate spleen of Anya and she could die! They gave her an anesthetic injection and made a tight bandage. Also she received a dropper several times a day and medication that would relieve the pain.

Doctor said Anya could die during a surgery... But she may die at any day, if she will not have a surgery too! It was like a endless circle. So, it was made a decision to do a surgery, hoping and praying for a miracle. 

When Anya was preparing for the surgery. Her little son got to hospital with ear infection. We hoped after Dima feels better, Anya will get a special direction to another hospital where she would have a surgery.

But we have a great news for you! :)

The doctor said, if the spleen depart from the rib by 10 millimeters, the surgery does not need! Yes, this bump will remain forever. But do not be such a big risk that the rib will break through the spleen. 

Taking medication spleen moved away from the rib by 2 millimeters already! Anna does not feel the pain! Yay! What a relief for the poor girl!This is so awesome! Sweet mommy is so grateful to you all for your prayers and support!Please, keep praying for miracle!

Anya still takes medicine that relieves pain and the spleen is removing from the rib.So, we have a hope!

One more wonderful news! 

We are so very thankful to all, who donated and sent gifts of love  for surgery and post-surgery treatment for this sweet girl! We have ALL funds for Anya! Awesome blessing for precious girl! She is so thankful and happy that people taking care of her!THANK YOU so much for your blessings showing the love, support and care!!! ♥ It means so very much for the single mom and young Christian!

And we have not good news for you about this little sweet family...

The first one.

When Anna was pregnant she had high blood pressure, resulting a blood vessel bursted in her left eye. She was not paying attention but as a result the cataract formed in the eye and need to do the surgery or she may go blind in one eye. Anya has already started to lose her sight. :( 

A small bump under the eye of Anya

The second one.

Small Dima received a birth trauma during childbirth. As a result, he has often  epilepsy. He also has a fluid collects in the head. Two weeks ago, he was hospitalized with an infection of the ear, he felt better. But the temperature did not pass and it got worse. He began to cry constantly, become restless, can not sleep at nights, takes up his head with hands. His little body started to shake, turning blue lips and toes. 

As an experienced mom Anya realizing that there is something wrong with her son, she went to another hospital today, where they will provide better treatment of her son. The doctor in the previous hospital was not polite and did not have a proper treatment, come drunk and was rude toward Ana. Drunken doctor treat people. Yes, but unfortunately it happens in rural hospitals here... 

Today, when she was at a reception at another hospital, right in the office by a doctor of Dima had an attack of epilepsy. Poor baby. Anya was scared!

The doctor prescribed injections and medication. But they cost a lots of money! We ask you please, please, keep praying for this sweet small family! Pray for a miracle! Miracle for both precious souls. Pray for good doctors, for healing and peace in heart of mommy. They need your support and prayers at this difficult time as never before! 

For more questions, please email at bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks. 

We have started!

We are super excited! We finally have started to do a repair in the future Nursery Room!Yay!!!

We are so grateful for your participation!!! God has provided and we have raised 123% of necessary funds! Wow! If you saw before 198% on the blog. It was technically mistake. :) It would be one more amazing blessing if we would raise such sum. lol. But any way we have even some more than we planned! 123%!!! Awesome!!!! Thank you!!!Thank you so much for your generous hearts and kindness! Many thanks for your open hearts to bless little kids and their parents in their great need! Our hearts overjoyed!!! 

 There's a lot of work to be done. But we have started and gradually move forward!

Since the church building partly raw and cold... We made underfloor heating for cold days as you know kids love to crawl on the floor. :) For them, it is just right. We are so happy that the kids will not feel cold and stay warm!

We bought some more stuff, wallpaper on the walls and laminate flooring.We hope before the end of next week or so we will be able to put floors and finish with walls.

It is little hard going to orphanages, being busy with the young adults and plus to do everything with a Nursery Room. Super  busy days. :) But we are so excited and can not wait to see the result! 

We would be so thankful, if you please, pray with us God give us wisdom, strength and blessed in every step of this special project. ;)

I was walking on stores and watching for photo frames for our babies to hang on the wall at Nursery Room. When I saw the price, I was sad a little because it is pricey little. Hmm. So, I was not sure to buy or not? I left this idea thinking maybe to think out something different... Each time I saw the picture frame again, I hesitated buy or not? But recently, when we received a box from Switzerland from a sweet lady, I was amazed to see the photo frame when opened the box! I couldn't believe it was the very same! Wow!  The lady did not know but God knew we need it ;) 

I love how God works through little details!  Isn`t our God amazing? :)

I have been praying to find you

We are sooo excited these days and praising God for His goodness and astonishing love!

Do you see a precious girl in pink sweater? Her name is Anya. The picture was made in 2007. She was about 10 years old at this time.

She was in very and very poor orphanage, which BOM visited on a regular basis. It was so fun to watch pictures made many years ago... Such a good memory! :)

Anya in red sweater. I think, we were talking about Jesus with girls :)

The orphanage was closed in 2009 because of financial problems and kids were transferred to other orphanages.We did not know for a long time where these kids and how they are doing... But something incredible has happened these days!

Lena was at hospital with her beautiful Sophia. She met Anya at hospital and they became friends. Once, Lena showed her family pictures to her new friend.  When Sophia was born, when we took her out from hospital and so on. And when Anya saw the pictures, she pointed on BOM staff and cried out, "Oh, my! I know! I know these people!"

Very soon Oksana received a message, "I have been praying to find you all! How I can meet you? I have been praying for years." Wow! We were so deeply impressed!

Through few exchanged sentences we have read the next... "I want to accept Jesus Christ but do not know how to do it... Please, help me!" What?! Wow! It was something incredible to hear!!! 

The very next day we met Anya and she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour! We had such a sweet meeting and wonderful fellowship! Later the young lady said, you even can not imagine how I`m happy that find you again! :) Awesome blessing! This is not about us. But about the almighty and merciful God, who answered the prayer of orphaned girl, who prayed so long! Praise God!!!! He is soooooo very good!!!!!

After graduating orphanage and trade school Anya met a young man, fell in love and became pregnant. The 8 months ago she gave birth a sweet little boy Dima. But several months ago the young man left his family. So, the young mother forced to grow her son by herself... 

Our Heavenly Father soooo miraculously answered the prayer of this precious orphaned girl!Amazing!!!

This reminds me a place of Scripture in Bible. Acts 10

10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 
10:2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 
10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 

 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 
10:5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 

10:6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 
10:23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him
10:24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. 
10:30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 
10:31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 
10:32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. 
10:33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God...

This is such a great encouragement for us that our visits of kids in orphanages are not vain! These seeds of God`s word planted in their precious children's heart bring fruits of Spirit in His time :) God is soooo very good and doing incredible and miraculous things!!! Praise Him!!!

Update about little Lisa 2

We all, especially young mother Olga would love to thank you for prayers! Lisa is doing better!

She is still at hospital where she receives a special medical treatment and should stay there few more weeks.

Poor girl :(

 After 2 months finally we know the diagnosis of little Lisa.It is sad that doctors could not find the illnesses so long... But an one doctor did it for a week!

The stomach and intestinal inflammation and also herniation esophagus. This is a big problem for the little girl, because she can not eat a lot of different foods. Frequent pain in the abdomen and stomach. So Olga forced to buy a special meal that Lisa was on a strict diet. Also girl has a serious failure of the immune system.She has broken the autoimmune process.

Lisa looks happy and joyful often. But she has high fever often, pain in stomach, her feet cover by blue spots. She can not sleep at nights, feel sick after meal.

Thanks a lot to those, who generously helped greatly this little girl! We hoped that money will be enough for treatment also. But the money have been spent for many medical tests, treatment, food and so on. They have no money now and Lisa necessary continue the treatment. It seems it would take a very long time... The doctor said that every 6 weeks, Lisa will have to undergo treatment for 3 weeks. And there are 5 courses of treatment. It seems that it will take a year of treatment!Wow!

It seems most of the time little girl should stay in hospital. Instead play with her little sister, with her friends and classmates,  go to school as many kids, enjoy and have a happy childhood, she must to spend many days at hospital in other city. Her little sister miss her very much and her mom and cries every day. Poor kid. The hospital does not have a special games and treats for kids. There no TVset or other amusements for kids. No special food. Only bed and window where you can watch the nature. So, hospital is very boring as many hospitals. 

Olga has to pay around $40 for 3 weeks for a place at hospital. $2.00 for a night because they are not local residents. She has to pay around $200 for few more medical tests. Also funds for medicine. Besides it they need eat every day. Lisa can not eat food at hospital, only some kind. Hospital does not feed mom. She has to buy food for herself.

We kindly ask you. Could you please, help Lisa become healthier and live joyfully with her little sister? Could you please, bless this little girl with your small gift of love $5, 10, 25, 50 or more to continue the treatment? Olga does not has these money because she does not work. No one can help to treat her little girl. Her hope is only Jesus Christ.

We have a PayPal account. If you are interested to help little Lisa. Please, email us  at bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks.But most of all we ask you to pray for healing of this little girl. God is able and powerful to do it and no need money! 

Thank you in advance for all your love and care! Thank you very much to remember this precious girl in your daily prayers! May God bless you!

A Nursery Room-new project

I`m so very excited to start this new project! Because of the little ones! Our church is growing little by little. More young people join, so and more babies :)

It is so exciting and such a joy to see young families at church with their kids.

 But we have a big problem. As we have lots of babies and toddlers now. Children do not have place where to play during a church that parents can listen a sermon or when we get together to have a fellowship.

They do not have a place where to sleep. This how babies and toddlers sleep sometimes :)

Mommies do not have a place for breastfeeding and change diapers. 

If toddlers can sit down with parents sometimes and stay during a church. They are learning :) But this is impossible with babies. Especially when they are crying, hungry and so on. We help young parents how we can but it is hard physically, especially when no a nursery room.

So, we are here kindly asking for your help. To renew and buy everything for the Nursery Room necessary around $1200. Our church consists about 70% of former orphans, who need the help. These money to raise is impossible for us. We have a very tiny room at church. But it is better than nothing :) The funds will be spent for furniture, such as crib or two, beddings for cribs, 2 feeding chairs, little table and several chairs for toddlers they can draw etc., dresser or any locker for diapers, blankets, toys and all kids stuff, renovation walls and the floor. It is not in good condition. Carpet for the floor and so on. 

Would you please become a blessing for little cuties? That they can sleep peacefully in cozy cribs but not on the floor, where is cold especially in cold seasons. Would you, please send your gift of love to little ones, they can develop well and play in Nursery Room that parents can no worrying listen a sermon and enjoy of fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ? And that mommies have a room where they can change diapers and feed their little lovies. ♥

Please, prayerfully consider this great need. Any your gift, big or very little is greatly cherished! To make a donation please, use the blue button at the top of the blog. 

Those precious babies deserve to be cared and loved as every child on the earth :)

Thank you! Thank you very much for prayers, kindness and love!!!! May God bless you!!!

One more nest for homeless souls

Some time ago we shared the picture of this young lady on BOM facebook and asked for prayers. The prayer request was very urgent! Yaroslava and her 5 years old daughter ate only once time a day. Because of this little Kristiana is getting sick very often. So, her mom can not work and she had to stay at home. But at same time Yaroslava necessary to work to make money and feed their little family. And one more huge need they had, they were homeless. Yaroslava were at many places and governments also asking for the help. She was denied everywhere. They had only few days and had no place where to go! Can you imagine thoughts and fear of the young mom?She was alone and had no hope.

But happened something incredible in lives of these sweet souls! This little family is not homeless anymore! :) Yay! We were looking all ways possible to help Yaroslava and Kristina. We could find nothing! So, it was only one decision to rent an apartment for them. God blessed miraculously! Because the owner do not mind that family with children live there! This is awesome! We even could witness him about Jesus :) Usually it is very hard to find apartment that owner  would agreed kids live there. We were so excited by kindness of the owner and saw the God`s hand in it! Praise God!

He gave us permit to move furniture and add what we would like.

We really like the apartment is clean! And we plan to add other curtains and more other things to make their nest more comfortable and cozy. ;)

It was sweet surprise for Yaroslava and Kristina. It was exciting to see their surprise and joy. :)

Also they do not eat only once a day! What a great blessing for poor souls!

 Our sister (Yaroslava has accepted Jesus Christ few months ago) is so grateful God! You would see her joy, sparkling eyes and kiss everyone, who bring food for them. Such a blessing to see happy souls! :)

But we have a great need! We rented the apartment with a faith that God will provide funds for this sweet family. :) We simply could not leave them on the street and let them stay homeless... Each month we need to pay $120 for the apartment. So, we kindly ask you for the support of this sweet souls. Would be someone interested to cover needs of the small family, please? Maybe 6 persons can donate $20 each month? Maybe two or one? :) Maybe Church or Bible group? Would be someone interested to devote a small gift of love monthly to stay them safe, cared and loved at the nest? 

You can send donations through PayPal account and leave a note "Housing for Yaroslava and Kristina". Please, email for more info bibleorphanministry@gmail.com Thanks!

Thank you very much, who prayed about Yaroslava and Kristina! Little girl is getting sick often and her mom has difficulties with job. Your prayers would mean so much for them both!

Many thanks for your support and love! Our thanks never will be enough to thank you all! Thanks a lot, who has provided the housing for the small family for a month and feed them! Praising God and celebrate the blessings in lives of the small family!My love to you!!! ♥
