In March: “Belinichy orphanage”

Posted: March 31, 2023 by Dzmitry Nachyna in Belinichy

Greetings Dear brothers and sisters! In March we had special trips to the Belinichy orphan school. This month we have covered 3FdYn6NWBPEthe topic of the miracles of Jesus. With these lessons DQSNpx-cl0wwe wanted to show that everything is possible with God. Often we do not fully understand that our God is omnipotent. We wanted to reveal new qualities of God and show how God had compassion for people who go through different stages in life. It is in sickness that we often think that God does not care about us. But it is at these moments that God supports us going through various trials. There are many children in Byalynichi orphan school who need not only a miracle, but close relationships with God. And why do we need relationships with God, we only need to receive our miracle? But we said that closeness with God gives us comfort and also helps us get through difficult stages in life. Why did God allow such health problems then we also began to say that parents chose sin, and sin always destroys the lives of not only those who sin, but also the children who live in this family. The free will we have leads us either to sin or to God.

8e4Tno4Rx4QThe lesson flew by and the guys came up and told y2s0CRVBQrU (1)their thoughts and what they liked about the topics. But most importantly, they talk about how they feel, how they go through their difficulties. Thank you for conducting these topics, they helped us to see God in a completely different way. This was said by the guys who recently arrived at the boarding school. We see that visits to the boarding school are very valuable for children. We are pleased to hear when the guys pray, they thank God for our arrival and are glad that God saved everyone from covid-19. We are also actively preparing for the summer camp. Many children already know about the upcoming camp and are praying that summer will come soon. Many kids are new, have heard about the camp and are constantly asking about what will happen. We say that this will be a special time when we will live the place! We will be like a family kids ask! We say, of course, it is important for God that we come to you and show His love in deeds. We thank you friends for your prayers and for your participation in the ministry to orphan kids in Belarus. Thank you for being with us during this difficult time. God bless you!

In March: “Vileyka orphanage”

Posted: March 30, 2023 by Dzmitry Nachyna in Vileyka

In March we were regularly visiting Vileyka. Our Friday meetings continue for 1-1,5 hours and take the following turn. Right from mNzBbrqOUqAthe entrance the kids are running to meet us and we hug themRQI2E1ofOIM and invite to the assembly hall. We begin with a welcoming word, an ice-breaker (getting to know each other, or any other activity to engage everyone) and common games. Singing altogether is an essential part of our agenda. One of the kids’ favorite songs that they would ask us to sing again and again – “Each New Day Airplanes Take Off”.RQI2E1ofOIM
We gave out Children’s Bibles to a lot of kids. We assign texts for the coming week from the Bibles we gave out to the children so that they would read them during the week. And on Friday we have a quiz for those who read the text. And those who actively participate in the quest – get sweet awards. After the quiz we have our Bible class. In March we were telling the kids about the miracles Jesus made while He was on the earth. We really wanted the children to realize that Jesus is not some kind of an ancient sage but He is real and He lives and can work powerful things in their lives. For example, the story about Jairus’s daughter teaches us that faith is more powerful than all doubts and fears.
Very often, tutors attend our meetings with the kids. They are very polite and appreciate our effort.
During one of our March meeting, a 8-10 year old boy approached us and showed us a sheet of paper where he noted down his thoughts about God entitling his essay “God and Us”. Hleb wrote that heaven is life and hell is death. God is peace and life. We believe in God and we are God’s friends. We want to live in the world where there is no war. We are peaceful people….

In March:“Smilovichy orphanage”

Hello brothers and sisters! We are grateful to you for your participation in the ministry of the gospel for orphans. Thank God that oowwAYppOLsHe allows us to visit children, gives strength both NRK9jF251Xwspiritual and physical, encourages, opens the doors of orphanages and adds people who would like to participate in this ministry – please pray for this so that God supports the ministry team and the children to receive God’s blessing through this. This month we told the guys about such stories from the Bible as: “Jesus heals 10 lepers.” We talked about how important it is to be sincerely grateful to God. “The Healing of Bartimaeus.” We told the children that Bartimaeus trusted Jesus and was persistent in his asking, and God blessed him and told him, “your faith has saved you,” and although Bartimaeus was blind, he saw that Jesus was the Messiah promised by God and the Savior of the world. “A wonderful saturation of five thousand people with five loaves.

awMMXq0sMnU” We talked about the fact that God takes care of us both physically and spiritually. We also talked about a lot of other things with the children, trying to answer their questions and explain the Bible to them in a simple and accessible way. We hope to God and pray that the Word of God sown in the hearts of children will bring good fruit. Since the beginning of the month there were about 9 children in the shelter, but last week at the beginning Dima, Polina and Vlad were taken back to the family and then Vika, Tolik, Katya, Roma and Sasha either, and only Ksyusha remained alone. When we were leaving, Ksyusha said that she will be waiting for us very much and that she really wanted to play with us and sing songs next tuesday. We wanted to go to Os-vNkEYNmEvisit her, but unfortunately she got sick, and so now a week later we plan to go to see her. Although she is the only one there, but even one soul is valuable and important to the Lord. When we arrived, the children always greeted us as if we had already become part of their family, it was obvious from their communication, they became more informal, simple and opened. We are grateful to God that we can serve children and tell them about the Bible and Christ. We are also glad that sister Anya joined the ministry, she asked children questions about the story, organized games and prayed for the children, this is a great encouragement for us. Brother David also joined us, he actively helps us in communicating with children, with games and supports us in prayer. We ask to pray that God would send workers to His harvest.

In March: “Rudensk orphanage”

Greetings to you. God blesses that the doors are open to boarding schools and we are grateful to him that there is such an HXgRRmKQQk8opportunity to serve in boarding schools. In March, in Rudensk, as in Smilovichi, we also passed stories about how: “Jesus heals 10 lepers.”, “A wonderful saturation of five thousand people with five loaves.” and “The Healing of Bartimaeus.” we tried to explain Scripture to children in a language accessible to them with examples from life and explain how these truths relate to their lives. Thank God that He brings children and they have a desire to attend our games and our lessons, usually about 15-20 children come. We are glad that we can make friends with children through communication and games, as well as sing songs together, but the most important thing for us is that they listen to IJld38dsNl4the Word of God and answer our questions, through this we see that they learn something and understand, that the Word sounds to their hearts – it is very encouraging in the ministry. As in other boarding schools, we ask them a passage from the Bible so that they would read it and retell it to us when we come next time, we also teach a lesson on the same passage and this allows them to think twice more and understand the Word. I am very grateful to God that there are children who regularly read the passages that we ask them, for example, Petya and Polina, several other people have also recently started reading regularly.This is how we teach them to read the Bible on their own. I am also glad that the guys always meet us when we arrive and wait for us, they even go outside, far from the entrance of the boarding school to the parking lot to meet us as soon as we get out of the car.

24VUlZYc_nAPetya always opens us a classroom in which we can put things and take tables and chairs from there for games and for the lesson. I am also grateful to God that David and Anya joined the ministry and that the local church also began to take part, although it is small, but there are a couple of people there who can sometimes help and this is encouraging. Children often ask to pray for them, for example, Sasha, who in the 6th grade asked to pray for his parents so that they would stop drinking and take him away as soon as possible, and Polina from the 12th grade often asks to pray for her needs. After the lesson, we usually divide into groups so that there are about 4-5 children for the one believer and personally ask them “how to pray for you” and so we pray in such small groups. Children see that our faith is alive and that we are doing this for the sake of Jesus Christ. May God bless us to be a good witness for them and for all the staff of the boarding school, both for students and teachers.yXzCp5WEIOUWe are also grateful to God that we can help the children financially within our means, for example, Polina’s gums are bleeding and the doctor told her to buy a special toothpaste and a means for rinsing teeth. Petya asked simply to buy them 1 pack of sugar for the class and that their electric kettle was broken. Sometimes someone’s glasses break, and sometimes the guys just need to buy socks or sneakers. We decided to buy all this and help them at least in a small way. There is still a time ahead when we will have to pack things for graduates, so there will still be an opportunity to serve them.
