LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

Hello! I would like to share my concerns about the kids’ ministry in the Smilovichi orphanage in the past month. This month we continued to share Bible stories from the Old Testament with the kids. At the end of each story we made some practical conclusions that they will be able to use in their lives.
This month we talked to them about Ruth’s faithfulness, about how she made the decision to stay with her mother in law, leaving everything for her. We also talked about kind deeds. When I was spending time with the kids, talking to them, observing their behavior; how they treat one another, I saw a lot of cruelty and rudeness in their relationships with one another and I wanted to tell them and show them what are kind deeds and how important it is for us to be kind to one another and respect each other. Also, as many know, kids this age especially need attention, support, and care. That is why we are trying with our team to show these kids the kind of love and care that God fills us with. The kids really enjoy doing various interesting crafts and making cards with kind words for their friends, playing games and singing. They really love to sing! Often they sing so loud that it seems that the walls could collapse! These are our kids and how we spend time with them.
