LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

   The March is nearly over but it is still winter outside with a snow layer of about a meter high. Well, even if we don’t have a spring mood still we are always in the right mood to visit Grozovo orphanage. During the whole month we have made trips to the orphanage and had personal contacts with the kids and team members. When communicating in small groups or face to face, kids are more likely to open and talk about their pain and fears and tell what they would like us to pray about. That’s how you actually make friends with the kids and become their older brother or sister, someone they would listen and look up to. You begin to pray fervently for those kids and see the ways you can help and bring comfort to them. Praise the Lord for those wonderful relationships.
This month I have also managed to motivate the teens from my church to come to the orphanage and play football with the kids. They were so happy to play against a new team as they had got really bored playing with each other all the time. The game was a thrilling one and as the orphans lost they asked us to come again so that they would play back. There is a big chance to make friends with the kids by playing sports with them and doing things together.
During the spring holidays our family had a chance to invite some of the kids for a week’s stay. We are having several girls staying at our house now and yesterday we went for a church meeting altogether. We’ll tell the stories about our holiday guests in our next report. Meanwhile we thank everybody for your kind prayers and support. God bless you all!
