Hello dear friends!!!
Thanks so much for all who are not indifferent to the work with orphans in Belarus. My story will be about our trip to Grozovskij boarding house. Our gratitude to all people, who has made this trip possible.
Every Wednesday we attend Grozovskij boarding school. This time was no exception. When we came to destination point, we divided for talk with children. Each of us communicated with a group of children. A part of our team were preparing a room for main meeting. Our gathering started from general singing and prayer. Eugene, member of our team, sang a song how God is able to solve our problems . Alina played a game with children. All this things were used with the purpose to prepare hearts of children for biblical lesson. The topic of the lesson was told Vadim and it was based on the verse from Scripture : “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you”(Isaiah 26:3). The conversation started from the question to teenagers: What does it mean the steadfast mind? There were many answers, guys were active. It’s obvious, neither betrayal nor abortions could be consequences of the steadfast mind. After several answers Vadim asked one more question: what things can influence on the steadfast mind? Children came to conclusion that money, society, drugs and spirits can influence the steadfast mind. But we definitely know, if you have peace in your heart, it is not because of the absence of problems, but because God lives in 
your heart. Dima made the examples, what could be with those who are not of the steadfast mind: undesirable pregnancy, inability to manage with money, jails . The core idea was read by Dima: only God can give the steadfast mind. All of the children listened to him very attentively, because he told about things which were very close to them – about their future. Children are not indifferent for us , we come to them every Wednesday because we want they do not repeat the mistakes of their parents. Frankly speaking, it’s always a great pleasure to see when children think and made right choices by themselves. When children began to think about their own life, I rejoiced. The thoughtful wrinkles appeared on their foreheads, the eyes began sparkling when they realized they could change their lives, they have a choice. I am so glad, we could sow the seeds of faith in real God. May God bless them and save them prom mistakes in their hard life. Thanks so much friend for your support. God bless you!
Hello!
Dear friends, I want to tell you about our recent visit to Grozovo boarding school. We had wonderful time with children during two evenings. Those
meetings with children were dedicated to the following topic : “Relations between boys and girls”. Usually, we have conversations with all children, but that time we decided to divide into two groups – separately boys and girls separately too. I was in a group of girls. The following questions were discussed: how to keep yourself pure, sexual relations before marriag
e, how to keep yourself for the only man. Regrettable {unfortunate} consequences of wrong relations were discussed too, some facts from medicine – about sexually transmitted infections. But the key idea was that man was created according to God’s own likeness and image, but Satan wants to distort this image. As the example, some stories of girls who had already left boarding house were told to children. Some of girls bring their children up without husbands, some of them made abortions as the result of wrong relations with boys.
Girls were very attentive to every word, but we wanted ours words were heard by each of girls and they could use in real life. Now, we pray for them that they could make the right choice in life and all of them could have strong and sound families.
That was awesome time. Thank God for his mercy and his wisdom.
Dear friends, I want to tell you, about our recent visit to boarding house in Rudensk. After arriving there, we were greeted by children with joyful faces and wide open arms. They are all different: there were those who wanted to get more attention; there were those who gesticulating, talked about how they worked hard or how their teac
hers treated them unfairly; there were also those who always embarrassed were close to us and felt happy when they were treated friendly or paid attention to them. Dinner time came various groups of children passed by. Many of them waved to us with their hands in greeting, or came to greet personally. It was obvious how important it is for them to say hello to each adult and feel that he is important to someone, even if he was not familiar to us.
After dinner, I felt very closely to my helplessness to these orphaned children. When another group of children left the dining room, the teacher stopped the kids to count them. These moments seemed like an eternity for me because a few pairs of children’s eyes stared at me. 
They just looked into my eyes. Said nothing, did not respond … just looked. There were not many of them, but we went to the other, also small group of children. And I realized that everything I can do – is to pass at least to a few of these children the love that God has given me.
After them a group of children which I knew appeared and we agreed to spend time together. The theme of this evening was the statement that “God created us special and we are important to God.” In this group there were 8 children of different ages – from about 6 to 8 years. First we played a game in which every child participated. It w
as obvious that they like to receive attention and appreciation from us and from their peers. After that, we sang a song with the movements about friendship, which had already learned. Despite the fact that not every child was able to pronounce words correctly, they were moving actively, showing the meaning of words by their movements. Then we watched together a cartoon about that each of us is important to God. And after the cartoon, we repeated the basic idea of a little mystery guessing that children once had heard that every one of them is unique, created by God and is important to God. At the end of our stay, we learned the new children’s song, which said that “in the palm of God there is no hunger, no orphans, and everyone can find a place there.”
At this time in another room the communication with the senior guys was over. This meeting organized the other part of our team. And soon we said goodbye to the guys got in the car together and drove home.
Thanks to God that He allows us to give His love to orphans. But thanks to you, dear friends, for your help in this service, both material and prays. God bless you!
Well, the school year started! We do not stop our trips to the orphans.
I know they need our love, our hugs, and they still need attention and understanding.
There are children with mental and physical disabilities in Belynichy boarding school. You have no idea how much these kids need God’s love and healing.
We started this school year with just coming there and sharing our love, warmth, attention with them! 
Each of us listened to the kids’ stories about their summer vacations. And our next trip was special because we invited a puppet ministry team. They prepared for the children a very interesting presentation, and the children with fascinating faces and great interest were watching and listening to what the dolls were telling them. So the children also sang songs, played and prayed together with us.
We believe that this year will be fruitful, and we believe that some dreams of these children will come true! Every time these kids are waiting for us, waiting for those people who will love them and that will be their guide!
Thank you dear friends for your prayers and for your support! May God bless you!
Remember that God loves the orphans, and he urged us to take care of them. So let’s not be indifferent but make every effort to help those who are without parents!
LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN
