Dear friends, I welcome you! We all prayed and participated in the fate of Sasha Starovoitova, a child whom our friends adopted at the age of 6 months. Three months later they discovered that he has cancer in both eyes. The situation was critical. Doctors said that he has no longer than one year to live, and the best that was promised was the removal of both eyes.
Eugene, his adoptive father called me and told with tears the story that Rita his wife had already lost two children. And that they will not survive this. I reassured him as best I could, and we began to pray and seek a way out. God led step by step. He answered prayers!
In Moscow, they were welcomed by a Specialist clinic. You have helped with prayers and finances. The Doctors managed to save one eye and the tumor started to shrink. Sasha is already two years old and will have an examination soon, and we pray that everything will be fine! God works miracles! Thank you, brothers and sisters!
There are people who are watching our ministry and are inspired by the mercy and their hearts are changing.
I want to convey greetings from Anastasia and Dasha, they are now in a clinic in St. Petersburg. Dasha had an operation on her head and a drainage was installed so that the fluid would come out, her condition is bad but stable at the moment. Dasha’s vision has fallen, and doctors are preparing her for a bone marrow transplant. Everything will depend on how the body copes with the load.
Her mother eagerly communicates with me, since she heard about God from me she is asking a lot of questions.
When I accompanied them to St. Petersburg we talked a lot, I gave her some financial support, and she cried and did not want to get out of the car. She says that she never has been treated that good. Brothers and sisters, these are words we live for. We also continue to care and pray for them. Thank you so much for your participation. Our ministry in Omsk continues to gain momentum and every week we visit children with leukemia and now we collect “boxes of courage” – these are toys that give children a consolation prize after painful procedures.
I am very grateful for your continues support. May God bless you!
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!
