I want to greet you with good news – Jesus arise!
As usual we are happy to share with you the joy and positive that we get to travel to an orphanage in Smilovichi. This month we visited the children in the orphanage twice. Our meetings were filled with socializing, games and creativity. Each of these three components of the kids devoured with such joy that we were simply amazed! All that we offered them, they did with such enthusiasm and joy that is not inspired, it was not real. For example, when the first meeting, we decorate pictures, but not with pencils but with modeling clay, kids did it with such zeal that many turned out much better than suggested example. And even those who are older, in the end asked for more pictures, to continue the pleasure. I can’t even tell you how nice to see through their masks of the older, adult children (as they consider themselves) a child who needs love, affection and attention.
At the second meeting, we told the children the story of Noah and the flood through which children learned that God always keeps His promises. Then we decorate with a picture-fan in the form of a rainbow, ark and all the heroes of history, which was also seen by children with great enthusiasm.
This orphanage is in need of financial assistance. Whenever possible, we are bringing them from time to time children’s clothes, toys, and even just toilet paper. If you have a desire to somehow help these children and this orphanageyou can leave a comment and we’ll let you all possible assistance.

In early April we began our work with kids from 1-3 forms at Grozovsky boarding school. There were about 10 people. Some of them were already familiar to us.
The aim of our first lesson was to get acquainted with the children, to tell them that during our lessons they will learn very interesting facts from the Bible. Moreover, they will find out many interesting and exciting things, and the most important is the fact that the Lord loves everyone, and He is able to help everyone turned to him for help.
We began our evening with my prayer; I immediately draw the attention of the children on the importance of prayer for us and on its simplicity. Then we learned a song about a giraffe and started to get acquainted closer. The topic of the lesson was “You are special”. The kids have learned from the game that all the names are different, but each of them is a unique one and the best for a man.
Children also took a mirror, looked at their faces and described themselves. We were happy to tell them that every person is unique and unrepeatable, because God has made all of us special, everyone has a lot of virtues and everyone has a talent given by God. They have drawn themselves on the hearts. We have collected the hearts and glued them on a sheet of paper.
Then the children looked at their hands. They found out that the fingerprints of all people are different. Each print is special to God. We offered the children to check it theirselves, allowed them to make fingerprints on the poster.
We ended our lesson with sweet candies)))
During the lesson the children were excited, they took up any task lively and noisily … and we were very pleased to see the joy and happiness on their faces. They surrounded us and asked to promise that we will come to them again!
