I understand that nothing is impossible for God, and He can heal instantly. I desire to grow in this ministry. But for people to trust us and turn to us, we need to take action and be involved in their lives. Jesus said, “Let Your will be done, not mine.” We do not know who will be healed or when, but we pray for the children in faith.
In Omsk, we continue to care for three orphanages, a hospice, and the pediatric oncology ward.
In the orphanage “Artyn,” there are three siblings—two brothers and a sister. They were all born in the same week, and we were invited to their birthday party. However, when our team was unable to come, the children canceled the celebration and rescheduled everything to wait for us. This shows how building relationships is a key factor in the lives of these children. In the oncology ward, we see progress in working with parents, many of whom struggle with the emotional burden and stress. We meet with them every week.
Right now, we are praying for a boy named Egor. He is five years old and was recently admitted. He is preparing for a bone marrow transplant, but the doctors say his illness is progressing very quickly. If all medical procedures are completed in time, Egor and his mother will fly to Saint Petersburg this month.
Thank you, dear friends, for your prayers and financial support. It is crucial for this ministry and for our team!
From joy and happiness, we want to sing, exalt, and glorify our Heavenly Father—the One who, through the prayers of the saints, has opened the doors of a boarding school for children with disabilities. For several years, we prayed for this miracle—and the Lord has made it happen! The doors of the school have opened, and they are happy to welcome us.
Children come to the school for two-week rehabilitation programs along with their parents. During this time, we have the opportunity to connect with them, play, give gifts, and most importantly—share about Jesus and offer them hope in the Heavenly Father. Both children and parents are filled with joy. In these moments of fellowship, they forget about their difficulties, pains, and worries. Many parents have told us that they haven’t seen their children laugh and look so happy in a long time.
Our team has already visited twice, and each time, it is incredibly hard to leave—we just want to keep sharing joy!
Among the staff, there are those who have received the Holy Scriptures as a gift. They ask many questions and are eager to engage in conversations. Dear friends, behind all these miracles stands our Lord. Let us be even more grateful, pray even more fervently, and continue visiting these children together. You support financially, we plant the seeds—but in everything, Christ is glorified!
We urgently share with you our prayer request, which cries out from our hearts. We believe that whatever we ask in His name, we will receive. We trust in the power of prayer, and a “cord of three strands” is a rope reaching to Heaven.
Our ministry is expanding, and opportunities to bring more fruit to Him are multiplying—especially in children’s ministry. The work is there, and it can grow, but we lack a dedicated, responsible person who would wholeheartedly commit to it.
We regularly receive visitors who serve for a month or two, and the ministry moves forward and develops. But when they leave, we are left with the responsibility of continuing the work they started.
Currently, we have at least three locations with about 70 children, where we organize active games, study Scripture through films, and do Bible-themed coloring activities. Our church today has around 30 Russian-speaking members, but only five dedicated servants actively participate in ministry.
We are praying for local people to join us in this mission. We are waiting for an answer and trusting that the Lord will provide.
Beloved friends, we share this cry from the heart with you. We deeply thank you for your prayers and support in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, spreading the Gospel of God’s grace in Southeast Asia.
I have great expectations for 2025 and believe that the Lord has something special in store for Lebanon and all who live here. This month has been filled with events, meetings, and opportunities to serve people.
One of the most joyful moments was the visit of a family couple. For a week, we worked together for God’s Kingdom and had the chance to serve others.
One of the warmest and most memorable moments was a soap-making workshop. It not only gave women the opportunity to learn a new craft but also created a space for communication, friendship, and trust. We met new women, heard their stories, and shared the love of Jesus Christ. Some were familiar faces, but this gathering brought us even closer.
Many shared that in the busyness of daily life, they rarely have time for socializing. For some, this workshop was a rare chance to step out of their routine and be among like-minded people. One young woman, who recently moved to Lebanon, admitted that for the first time, she felt like she was among “her own people”—with those who speak her native language.
Camp ministry is a unique way to impact lives, share the Gospel, and equip the next generation. Through this ministry, children and youth hear about Jesus from their friends, breaking the misconception that faith in Christ is something foreign. They see and feel Christ’s love through familiar voices, relatable stories, and in their native language.
“Camp on Wheels” is a ministry that organizes day camps for children across Thailand. We have already held a 5-day camp in northern Thailand for various tribes and will continue running camps in March, April, and October.
Join us in this ministry through prayer and financial support. Each camp costs about $1,000 for 50 children, covering camp supplies and a simple daily meal. We aim to reach 300 children in the first two camps. Your support will help bring joy, hope, and the Gospel to children who desperately need it.
We are grateful for your partnership in this mission. May God bless you as you pray, give, and join us in bringing His love to the next generation.
A brief update on the situation in Ukraine and our ministry. This week, there were terrible missile attacks on major Ukrainian cities—Odesa, Sumy, and Poltava. Russian forces are also close to capturing two major cities in eastern Ukraine (Sloviansk and Kramatorsk). Because of this, new refugees continue to arrive in our region.
We plan to continue serving these people through humanitarian aid, psychological support, children’s education, and more. Please pray for our team. Despite exhaustion, we keep serving and believe that this will lead many to salvation.
We ask for special prayer and support for our daycare ministry. Since parents need to look for jobs and work, they need a safe place for their young children. That’s why we have started working in this area.
Our plan is to renovate two rooms and turn them into children’s spaces. Only a few final repairs remain before we can fully use these rooms.
We are grateful for your prayers. The estimated cost to complete the renovation and purchase the necessary furniture is $800 per room. We would greatly appreciate your participation and help in making this project a reality.
