The house of mercy “Bethesda” gets more and more attention. We have people coming to us who seek help from the Lord. The Lord also lets Christian families move from the city to our village. To this day we have 3 families who have acquired house with the help of the government through the one-time maternal support. Together they have 12 children. Praise the Lord.
Vadim and Olya came to the Lord through the ministry “The Road Home”. They have 5 children now and when they arrived at “Bethesda” we offered them a ministry but they declined. But the Lord kept working in their hearts and blessed them with finances and a desire to help. Now they are helping us coordinating projects with Evgeniy and Maria.
The local administration was planning on closing the school and kindergarten here but our brothers and sisters had arrived with 12 children. We currently have 15 people who reside here in “Bethesda” and are establishing a relationship with God. Half of them are disabled, one without legs, four a partially paralyzed and one is blind. The ones who are capable of working help us out with the disabled ones.
It will be winter soon and we don’t have a shower or a heated restroom. During summer, we heat up the water in the sun and shower in an outdoor shower but in the winter, this doesn’t work. To build a shower and toilet from pipes, bricks and cement we need $3000. We will build everything on our own.
I recently met an old friend here. He is 63 years old and disabled. Around 20 years ago we were in prison together. He taught me to pray “Our Father who art in heaven…” I came to Christ later in and this stayed in my life since then. Now he found shelter here in “Bethesda”.
With all our hearts and souls, we ask you for help. We pray for you, for the abundance of God’s blessings, in your life!
