LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

In November at the Belynichi orphanage we talked about Abraham’s faithfulness, about the God’s promise and how faithful God is in his promises. The example of Abraham showed how the Lord can bless those who trust Him. We also talked to the guys about the purity of relationships using the example of Sodom and Gomorrah: the Lord hates fornication so much that he sent his angels to destroy these cities. Also we talked about Joseph. We talked about God’s care in different situations, how He raises people from hopeless situations. We wanted to show that the Lord can raise from the very bottom and make a person to be the most important person in the country.

A lot of guys come to the meeting every time. They look at the surveillance camera and when we arrive they joyfully greet us in the lobby. At one of the meetings we talked about forgiveness. Because Christ emphasized the importance of forgiveness a lot. We tried to tell the guys how important it is to forgive ourselves, parents, our abusers, those who betrayed us and not blame God for any failures in our life. One of the girls — Kira, said that she is not able to forgive her father. At the end of the meeting we suggested the guys to turn to God with a request to give them a power to forgive the offenders and to aske the Lord to heal the wounds of their hearts. The guys said the words of prayer loudly. We believe that for many of them it was a significant point in life, even if now we cannot see it so clearly.
