LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

Trips to the Belynichy orphanage began a little earlier than usual this academic year. We really wanted to have time to say goodbye to the graduates, so at the end of August we organized a meeting for them. There we tried to pay as much attention as possible to personal communication with the kids. Each of them experiences serious fear of something new, like adult and independent future! Our main task was to tell the graduates once again about God’s love for each of them, as well as to pray for them and simply support them in such an exciting period of their lives. The graduates left school. At the moment, we continue our weekly trips to children who are still studying at the orphanage. We divide the children into two groups. Throughout September in the group of older children we talked about fears, talked about deception and its consequences and talked about laziness. By the reaction of children to a particular topic of conversation, you can quickly notice what each of them is struggling with! We are glad that the guys learn to share their problems and experiences and we try to give them practical keys to solving certain problems. After all, God, in His word, offers freedom, healing, forgiveness and salvation to everyone who opens their heart to Him. This year there were a lot of new children in the group of younger kids whom we are still getting to know. That is why we decided to move with the younger children through biblical stories, starting with the creation of the world. It’s interesting that those guys who tried to disrupt classes during the summer camp, today have become our active helpers. Many children are unable to talk or express their emotions due to mental and physical health problems. That’s why we came up with Bible lessons that we also accompany with gestures. For example, children are happy to show how God created light, so they open their tightly closed eyes or they blow, creating the effect of air that drives clouds in the sky created by God During this month children learned how God created our world, they met the very first people and learned how sin entered the world. Some have already heard these stories and for others it was something completely new and still completely incomprehensible, but that’s why we come to the guys to talk about God, about the truth of what the Bible says, and also just to love them and to be big brothers and sisters for them.
