I am very grateful to God for our ministry! I am thankful for this academic year and for commun
ication with children, for this opportunity that we got to share with them something new about God. Moreover, we have an opportunity to play with them, talk and simply sit next to them.
We want these kids to know that they are loved from their childhood. But our main goal is to tell them about God’s love to everyone. Also to
show them that God accepts people the way they are without reference to their age, appearance and accommodations.
It’s so great to see how God opens children’s hears for communication and receiving His Word!
Praise the Lord that through His Word He’s given hopes to their hearts!
On our meetings wit
h small kids we talk about: “The creation of the earth”, “First humans”, “Noah’s ark”. Children with joy and interest listen to it, because in every day’s life not so many people are telling them about the way the earth was created and who were the first people on this earth. Even though they talk about it in school sometimes, most of the times they are told about evolution. Unfortunately, God is left behind as something mythical or fairy. But we are trying to do everything we can to let these children get to know true Creator of the earth and everything that fills it!
Grozovo in September: “Communication with small kids”
Posted: September 25, 2012 by Dobr9k in GrozovoIn September: Smilovichi orphanage: “The History of Julia and Sergey”
Posted: September 24, 2012 by Dobr9k in Smilovichi
I am very thankful to God that the next school year began. For children, it is not always an enjoyable time, but we all know and understand that the welfare of their lives depends on their learning and the level of knowledge. And for our team it is the next challenge!
Our dreams come true when the dreams of the children we serve come true. You might think that the dreams of children from orphanages often based on material needs. But this is false. Many of them have dreams that are hidden deep in the heart, to find themselves in this life, to be important for someone, to have a family. That’s why we dream and do everything possible to make their dreams come true. That they recognize the value and uniqueness of their personality, they saw the beauty of life and make the right decisions on their not a simple path.
We strive to ensure that children at risk, with whom we communicate, get in the right direction in life.
Throughout the year we attend Smilovichi shelter. There we met with Julia and her brother Sergei. In the winter, they were happy that th
ey soon will be taken to a foster home. This hope they lived! But no one would have thought that five months later, they again fall into the shelter. It seems that all hope is destroyed! Cruel adult world again rejected the “inconvenient” children! But the pain and wounds that we sometimes inflict, left deep scars in the hearts.
During the talk, Julia disclose everything that happened to her and what she felt. Inflicted wounds of the heart are still being felt, because the pain is just in time! Julia and Sergey – children who have been rejected once and again, they again are deceived and disappointed, but – did not break. Yes, these children grow up very quickly and adapt, but inside they have a huge hole, they lack the lo
ve of parents, they lack the support of family members.
If you go back to the beginning, you can view the whole tragedy of life of Julia and Sergey. Their mother had cancer patients. She struggled to care for herself, let alone to care for their children, and especially to go to work. The father of these children for many years is unemployed. Besides – alcoholic. Houses were constant scandals and lack of funds. After a while, the children were sent to an orphanage, before the court decision. At the hearing it was finally decid
ed, “termination of parental rights” parents of Sergey and Julia. Children could only wait, what will happen to them next? They face life in a boarding school. But in winter there were people who wanted to take them to the family. At that time we saw them shining with happiness eyes! Then we said goodbye to them in the hope that they have found a new family and be able to live a full life. But a few months later, we met again with them in the shelter. Julia shared with us the fact that life in the new family was very difficult and that a return to the shelter has become their great joy. At present they are again waiting for a new turning point in their lives. Once again, they are waiting for either a new foster family, or distribution of a boarding ..
.
What can I do to help this children? We overcome our difficulties, so that the children we serve, have learned to overcome their own. We win our fears so that each of them, look to us and have stayed in achieving their dreams. Through our work, we are trying to attract the attention of people around them to the children who are so in need.
We believe that with God the life of each child can be transformed and changed, because it is God who helps to get up, when you just can not do it. God gives hope. He gives faith. He gives belief that another family can be the ones to meet the parents, their dreams, which they prayed!
Greetings to you my friends!
I thank God for what He has blessed us with just an amazing camp! Thank you very much for your support, both prayerful and financial! Thanks to God and to your participation could place our camp!
Throughout the year, we prayed that the summer camp could take place, and a lot of guys could relax and learn of a loving God. We prayed and believed that God himself will be present to bless the children, and keep them in the camp. And it did, it was a special time
for special blessings!
Our camp was called “The Purpose Driven Life.” The camp was planned for teens, but God always makes adjustments in the lives of people and there were also ten children aged from 6 to 10 years. There were 43 children in the camp and fourteen leaders. The camp was attended by children from three boarding schools. Among them were several deaf children. We are very
chew those guys, as this was our first experience with these children, but God has blessed and given us the opportunity to get close with these guys. The Lord showed that the open heart overflowing with love of God, is able to withstand even the language barrier. Although in the first two days we were in a panic, because we did not know how to make contact with deaf children. We thought this is something that is not real and shut! But a 3-4 day we realized how these children are open to dialogue and to the adoption of the Biblical truths. Moreover, God revealed
what they see how much our mood and how much they are analyzing our every action. Thank God for these guys and for a new experience in our ministry!
Ten unforgettable days! Despite the fact that the camp lasted only ten days, this time it was really a turning point in the lives of many children. Mutilated fate cursed life – this is what always depresses orphans. But in the ten days we have
tried to give children hope, that life can change, that everything is under the control of God. That Jesus came into the world in order to take the lives of people crippled, cursed life, rejected the heart, heal every pain and give seeking freedom. Spoke as the children themselves, “This camp was not just camping, because I had never once tried to run away from the orphanage, because that’s what I felt like boarding or who do not fit. I thought that my life has no meaning. But in this camp, I met Jesus, and c is in the camp, I realized that someone carefully replaced the value
of my life so that I did not die. ” Such comments guys just can not leave us indifferent. Camp – a great time to reassess life values!
In addition, the camp – is a meeting with God. It is here that says a lot about how to build relationships with people, how to set goals in life and how to move toward established goals and dreams. But the main thing is that it is God who is the engine of success, it is God who helps and especially blesses the children – followers! With God’s world takes
paint and appears the goal is not just to live life and make each day memorable and unique. Life is too short to live without God! That Christ is willing and able to heal and maintain. Every day in the camp was not just a day, and this struggle. We were with the team in the post, because they saw how Satan opposes and it is constantly working to ensure that children do not come to terms with God. But thanks to the power of God and prayer support of many people, some of the guys in the camp received Christ into his heart. There were those
guys who often wondered how to commit suicide, but it is through this camp, we were free to talk to children about the value of every human life.
We are overwhelmed with the most joyful emotion, because about fifteen young people accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior true! The guys describe their feelings in the following words: “It feels like the chip on my shoulder had fallen! I do not know why, but after a prayer of repentance, I felt relieved, there was peace. ” During prayer, repentance
, we prayed to God for that He destroyed ancestral curse, that he stepped in and changed the fate of these children. Now, we believe that God is able to change the life of children, especially those who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior. We believe that this camp was the start of a new life for the children, but now with our Heavenly Father! Please also pray for the future impact on the lives of these children, because few pray a prayer of repentance, it is important and appropriate to live life! Therefore, pray, please, that the repentant children continued to seek God in your life!
With gratitude and respect, the team of the ministry to orphans in Belarus!
Dear friends
, I want to tell you what had happened with us during six days on the conference “The creators of the history”. This conference was held to teach the leader to be more dedicated. The members of our team also took part in this action. We believe that only trained leader can to influence and change the life of person whom he makes contact with. Training helps to broaden the focus and equip more modernized methods to reach people.
More than 30 leaders took part in the conference. Such meetings not only make us
familiar
with other people, but also help to share our knowledge. The organizers of the conference care not only about theoretical part but also about practical. We were able to train in groups.
We believe that this conference will left a very deep mark in the hearts and minds and the experience will help to have good harvest. One of the slogans of our team is: “Constantly develop, don’t stop on what you’ve reach”.
Greetings friends!
I thank all of y
ou who during the school year supported the ministry to the orphans in Belarus! We thank all who helped us prayerfully, financially, as well as those who helped things! Friends, what a great privilege to carry God’s instructions! And with a team like we have, every thing is possible! Over this year we have sown the seed of love and hope! We believe that the trips that we made during the school year, bear harvest that will have a significant impact on our country, as
well as a great contribution to the life eternal, and the spread of God’s will.
Everyone knows that children are the future of not only the country but also around the world. We believe that united we will be able to influence and change the world. In this academic year were held more than one hundred and sixty meetings in every boarding school, of which five were held evangelistic meetings. More than twenty young people accepted Christ. We pray and ask you, what would yo
u also pray for that to guys who have accepted Christ as their Savior, to keep their faith until the end.
We thank God for the fact that we can perform the service and make up children needs! Throughout the school year, we could see how children have changed and how to change their lives. We believe that in the future ministry of orphans will bear harvest in the kingdom of God.
We thank all those who sacrificed their finances to “warm the apartment” for graduates! We have seen how hard
the guys enter into a world that too often becomes severe for those who have not yet emerged as a person. This year, we released our apartment the three girls. Thank God! We’ve got to give them basic skills, and now they can continue their own journey of life. Thank God for the fact that we can serve the graduates of boarding! Thanks to everyone who prayed for us and sacrificed and the time and money!
We are very grateful for the opportunity to not only fill the needs of orphans, but also for the opportunity to tell them about God! In addition, we pray and ask you to pray with dreams that have kids
who are on vacation, to relax and keep in their hearts the seed, which were seed during the school year!
