Unray Mary is responsible for our group that we call “Pearls” here at the Ark. In fall 2004 we received 2 little girls who are twins. They were 3.5 years old. They were walking around with sad eyes in our apartment, pointing at usual household items and asking what they are for.
They were getting used to everything and learning the new things. They didn’t have hair when they came to us, so they looked at my hair and asked: “What is this?” After explaining they asked if they will have hair too. Growing up with love and care of Mary they learned very quickly and became well prepared for school.
When Mary told them about a 95-year-old grandfather, one of them said: “I wish he could live 100 years.” From that day on, she prayed for that grandfather. After his 100thbirthday we were fortunate enough to visit him. While visiting him they sang for him. He lived for 101 years. The younger girl Svetlana received Jesus into her heart and now she serves Him by leading church in worship. Her older sister is not quite ready to take this step, but we are praying and waiting for this moment with all of our heart. We are grateful to those who pray for us and support us.
