LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

Dear friends!
I’d like to share with you some thoughts about our trips to Belynichi Asylum this month. We have had two new members in our team and can now visit the orphans more often so that the communication with them would not be interrupted for more than a week. In December we discussed the events of the Advent with the kids. And it was so great when mentally and physically challenged kids could comprehend what we were talking about and respond to it. Few children know the real meaning of Christmas and when the whole world is filled with the festive spirit the orphans are usually left behind the celebration. During our trips we found out that the kids need something more than just presents for Christmas. They are longing for love and faith that would help them overcome loneliness and pain of rejection. The space in their hearts that should have been tended by their parents can get easily occupied by the devil. That’s why we are doing our best to sow seeds of faith, hope and love in them. Besides the Bible study, we also played games with the children and sang songs what brought us closer to each other. We were also so happy to learn that 16 kids are now attending the Sunday school at the neighboring church. The church members organized Bible study and different activities for them and also often invite the kids to dine with their families. Let us during this holiday season remember in our prayers those who were left without parental love and care!
