The Lord pays special attention to widows and orphans. I already wrote about Anastasia and her daughter Dasha, and we have already done a lot for their health and life. Anastasia is grateful and wants to share some good news.
Dasha has acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and there were complications on the brain, she slowly began to die. Then she was operated several times and now the situation has stabilized, and she is stable enough for a trip to St. Petersburg, to a hospital specializing in bone marrow transplantation.
The Tickets were purchased for August 27th. When possible, we will accompany them in St. Petersburg, Anastasia is raising a child alone and there is no one to help her. I contacted my brothers in St. Petersburg to help them more effectively. This is not the first child who is going from Omsk to St. Petersburg to undergo a complicated operation and we already have experience with this.
God made a miracle, and Dasha was able to advance in healing, but she is still at the beginning of the journey and really needs our prayers and financial help. I especially ask you to pray for her mother, the pain she is experiencing is impossible to convey in words.
Any mother in her situation live from day to day, and they are very afraid to do something wrong, because there may be not be a chance to fix it. Thank you for participating in this ministry. For me, being with these families has become a part of my life.
Greetings, brothers and sisters! I want to express my gratitude for your desire to help children. Dasha, about whom I already previously wrote, is in serious condition, she had another operation on her head, nobody is allowed to see her except for her mother. Therefore, we take care of the girl through her mother Anastasia. She in a serious emotional state, she can’t control her emotions even when being with the doctors. It is very difficult to imagine how a mother is feeling, having the only child being between life and death.
Anastasia is thankful for the help. She does not understand how strangers can be so compassionate. The father of the child is indifferent, he has no contact with Anastasia. He was the only support, but a month ago he left them. And now strangers became closer to them than their own relatives. Jesus is telling the truth when talking about the good Samaritan, that the neighbor is the one who helps.
Every week we go to the oncology clinic and help children cope with their difficult diagnosis. Parents of such children are no less in serious condition. They are desperate and need both prayers and material support.
Thank you for participating in this ministry. Without you, we could not help so many in need!
Recently, new opportunities have opened up to participate in the lives of children with blood cancer. We have became participants in this process more than three years ago. We help children and parents along their hard journey. Many children recover and get cured, some do not, and we must be there for all of them. Children who are about to die are in pain and frightened but our care for them gives them strength, and most importantly, God’s love for them revealed through us, gives hope. This is very important for them, because for these children there is only today, tomorrow may not come.
Thank you for your prayers and your participation in our ministry. This week I was with a 6-year-old girl, her name is Dasha and her mother’s name is Nastya. After a operation on her the doctors found that her brain atrophied. Surgeons did not even tell her mother about this, for her not to lose hope. Now she will be transferred to a different department and they will try all the known methods to save the child. We spend a lot of time with this family and are participating in their lives.
It is our need to pray for this girl and to support this family financially. Nastya raises Dasha all alone. May God bless you to help them. Thank God for you!
I want to thank you for your prayers and participation. In Malachi 4:6, God says that He will turn the hearts of fathers to the children … We and the team visited two orphanages and a children’s hospital on children’s celebration day. More than 100 children received gifts and our love.
One of our sisters went with us for the first time, and she was overwhelmed with emotion when the children called her “mother” “This trip has changed my life,” she said. The director of the orphanage asked to say words of congratulations and expressed her gratitude for our visit. Brothers and sisters, this is the mercy of God. He opens the door through the children.
We congratulated the children and tried to make them feel that they are loved by God. We have a 12-year-old boy who was just hospitalized. His name is Kostya, he has a severe manifestation of leukemia. Because of his sickness, he started to squint, and two days later he went blind. Doctors are trying to help him, but he is in terrible pain. It is connected to the machines and is in serious condition. We gave him everything he needs for the first weeks. His mother asked for psychological help, and we will be next to them, because we can’t otherwise. Thank you for your prayers and financial support that belong to these children. We will show them the love of Christ by caring for them. We really need your help!
Thank you for your kindness! We continue to communicate with Katya and her son Misha. Her emotional state is much better, Katya wants to live and no longer blames herself for the death of her son. This month was especially hard for her. Katya just needed to be pulled out of a depression. We rented an apartment for them, helped to make repairs and to get settled. We had to collect things piece by piece because everything she had has burned down. My daughters became friends with her younger child, and we took him to us so that she could get some rest. We thank God, Katya prays and goes to church, but she has questions: “Why did my 6-year-old son burn out and what did I do? What is this punishment for? ”In general, it is still hard for her, but we will continue to help them, and I believe that God will be glorified through this family!
Now we need to look through the ashes of the charred house to sell the land and to buy something new for them. Thank you for participating, donating and praying. May God reward you according to the riches of His glory!
In Russia June 1stis the day of the protection of children, and we will congratulate our children who are being treated at the oncologic center. There are 60 children. And the orphanage has 52 children. This is another chance to give them warmth and love. I am very glad that God gives us such a privilege to serve these children with you!
A few weeks ago, a woman asked us to help her friend. I contacted her by phone and was shocked by what I heard. On February 28, a fire broke out and Daniel, a boy six years old, died in the fire. His mother Katya went to buy diapers for the younger son Misha (1.5 years), and when they returned, 6 firefighters were extinguishing the house. Katya rushed into the burning house to get her son, but it was too late; the child suffocated from the smoke. The firemen did not know that there was a child in the house and just fought the fire.
She is raising the children alone, they are from different fathers, and even after the fire, these men did not respond to her. At the age of 14 she was brutally raped and hid it from her parents because she was ashamed. Not knowing who to trust, her life was gradually destroyed. Katya asked me: “Tell me what is wrong with me, why I’ve been proving to people all my life that I’m human, that you can love and take care of me.”
I had a good conversation with Katya, we took on to care for her and her child Misha. I said that she needed God and true friends, and I am ready to go with them this path. We have a lot of work to do, starting with the forgiveness of people and accepting the Gospel.
Friends, they really need us, in addition to emotional problems, there are material needs as well. She lost all her belongings in the fire, even all of her documents. We found an apartment for them, and we are thinking about how to restore the house. She need help with clothes, documents, and the rental of temporary housing. Today Katya took the Bible from me, just hugged it and cried. On Sundays, she wants to go to the congregations and join us in worship.
Brothers and sisters may God bless everybody of you.
