In Russia, we have the privilege of celebrating Christmas twice on the 25th of December, and on January 7th. My team and I handed out 900 gifts. We had a Christmas play for children, and we performed it seven times in different places. Children from the orphanage and the oncological hospital were touched. They willingly spoke about Jesus and about His birth, this is God’s mercy because for some this was the first time, and for some maybe the last.

I met a family of four, a mother and three sons. One of them is disabled, his name is Savely. He was born without kneecaps and cannot move independently. But he is a very kind and intelligent boy, he loves to read. When I presented him with a children’s bible, he cried joyfully and said: “I really need it now.” We helped them with Christmas groceries and are now collecting money for a wheelchair. In the chair, Savely will be mobile and less dependent on others!

Ulana’s mother said she believes in miracles; she is a unique woman. She works three jobs and takes care of her children alone. We started to be friends with them and would like to help them. Thank you for your participation.
