When we are joyful, we have the strength and desire to live. This is such an important truth — especially for children who have been through trauma.This month, a new room was opened in the children’s oncology ward — a space where kids can rest and spend time with us....

We had an interesting trip to the Artyn orphanage, and it stood out to me especially because I spent time with a new boy named Egor. He is 13 years old. His mother died, and his father is in prison. Egor used to do sports and had success in mixed martial arts. His...

Kristina is a little girl diagnosed with Down syndrome and leukemia. She is only two years old, she doesn’t speak, but she feels and understands everything very well. When I come to the hospital ward, she climbs into my arms, and we just walk around in silence.

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.

Many people have heard that Jesus was born, but they don’t understand what it means and how this event affects their lives! We decided to use this time and worked hard during the Christmas holidays.

Christmas is a time when people’s hearts are open to the Gospel! In our ministry to children, we try to use this time effectively, stocking up on gifts and literature about the birth of the Savior, and people are happy to talk and listen during Christmas Eve.

Every day I hear words of gratitude from the parents of the children you help, and I see the eyes of children when they are in great pain, but we are there with them.

Currently, we have a special prayer for Karina and Dinara, two girls who are preparing for bone marrow transplants.

This month, we visited three orphanages and organized three gatherings for orphanage graduates at neutral locations in the city. We are mentoring over thirty children who have graduated and remain connected with us. We assist them in studying, earning money, and managing their finances while providing guidance and mentorship.

This month has been filled with joyful events as well as challenging situations. Our friend Saveliy was baptized and immediately joined a mission team. He can’t keep silent; he shares about Christ with everyone he meets and tells his testimony.

Recently, I have witnessed how God miraculously heals children through our prayers. This month, we visited orphanages, paying special attention to graduates. Currently, we are supporting thirty-seven young people who have graduated and are eager to connect with us and seek help.

We organized a big celebration on Children’s Day, June 1st. Over the summer, new graduates from orphanages arrived, and we are actively communicating and working together. Working with children transitioning to adulthood is, in our view, the most important and challenging task.

Our most joyous news is the successful discharge of Artemiy from the hospital. We have been accompanying him for two years while he was undergoing treatment at the oncology center for leukemia. We faced various stages in his treatment. There was a time when his mother asked me to pray for his healing.

Today, acts of mercy are the most effective way to spread the Gospel, and only someone who has experienced the Lord’s mercy can truly be merciful. Our team continues to visit pediatric oncology wards, hospices, and orphanages for disabled children, where a total of over 300 children reside.

Greetings, brothers and sisters! I want to tell you how God works among vulnerable children and how we can participate in this work. Our team visited four children’s homes and spent wonderful time with the children. We cooked food, played sports games, and had interesting discussions with them.

It is a great joy to give oneself to children, to be with them, and to share everything you have! I sincerely thank you for the opportunity to serve them!
Lisa has reached St. Petersburg, and she is being prepared for a bone marrow transplant. Our ministry continues, and we visited three children’s homes, a hospice, and paid special attention to pediatric oncology.

Our team experienced significant blessings during the Christmas holiday! We greeted about 500 children in various places, including orphanages, hospitals, and hospices. Particularly valuable was our venture this year with a puppet theater, allowing children to see a Christmas story performance of this kind for the first time.

I want to share about what we are experiencing together with the parents and children in their difficult fates. This month, two children passed away. Anya was 11 years old, and she did not return from St. Petersburg after a bone marrow transplant. Her body couldn’t cope, and her organs failed.

We continue to develop ministries for children facing difficult circumstances and see a tremendous need and blessing. We want to convey a huge thank you for your prayers and financial assistance! This month has been particularly busy as more than 30 children were admitted to oncology and hospice care.

Jesus not only practices mercy but is Himself merciful, and that’s why His actions and deeds are merciful. Serving children greatly helps to instill this virtue and enables them to experience these feelings and transform them into character.

I received a letter from the father of a child we worked with two years ago

Greetings, brothers and sisters! Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” This means that when we give, we receive true joy and fulfillment through serving others, and ultimately, serving God.

I am grateful to God for revealing this simple truth, and I want to share the blessings

Graduates from orphanages, twenty people, came to our Christian base in the village for three days. We had a very good time with them, and the children attended the meetings and all the events. We also visited the orphanages and spent time with our friends. In the past month, we received twenty children, all of them are small abandoned children.

I express my immense gratitude to you, and Glory to God, for the dozens of children’s destinies in which we have taken part and witnessed God’s miracles with our own eyes. At the moment, Lera has been discharged from oncology and is going to a children’s home

We talked about Christmas to many people and over 500 children received gifts and participated in the celebration! At the oncology hospital, we held a puppet show and sang songs about the birth of Jesus with children and their parents, and the medical staff was also...

The will of God for us personally is to be close to children who are scared, hurt and lonely. Recently, I often see how the word of God is “a cheerful heart is good as medicine” is being fulfilled. Every time we visit children in a hospice, oncology, orphanage, children run to a meeting and it seems that their hearts rejoice.

I speak with a lot of people in the remaining days and hours of their lives. This changes their whole worldview and makes them change priorities in life. Those who accept it live the words of Christ: “Seek before the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and it will all be added to you.”

Recently, a father of a boy wrote me and began to simply to thank me for everything he felt and how badly he needed support 3 years ago. Back then we accompanied them to St Petersburg for a bone marrow transplant. When I read the message I cried and rejoiced,

This month we organized a charity concert and leaders of orphanages, children's oncology, and children's hospice were invited. They expressed gratitude for our input in the nurture and formation of children. The most important thing we were able to give them was the...

We have been participating in life of children who are admitted to a pediatric Oncology, a hospice and four orphanages. The more we are open and help people, the more they are willing share their pain with us. I want to say thank you from every child and from me,

I am sure that all of us get great pleasure from the ministry to sick children and their families. We have a unique opportunity to do what Jesus did. Today He does it through us! A month ago, Lera began to feel bad so she and her mother were urgently sent to St. Petersburg,

Christmas is always a reason to be joyful to those who experienced Jesus, and a reason to share the good news with people who live next to us. I’m in charge of the Mercy Ministry in our church. We as a team care about people, who are in need. We take care of widows, disabled people, and children at risk.

We have been helping families who are undergoing treatment in St. Petersburg after a bone marrow transplant. We are especially involved in the fate of Lera and her mother Masha. They had a very difficult situation

Despite the fact that we cannot have direct contact with children, we found a way to take care of them. This requires more finances and we need to be more creative. In orphanages – we help with groceries and the purchase of educational equipment.

We are paying special attention to Masha and her daughter Lera. On June 29th, Lera underwent a bone marrow transplant in St. Petersburg, and she is still under the serious supervision of doctors in the ICU. We remember how we were helping Wova and Misha but their bodies could not cope with the pressure.

Sometimes I wonder why I stayed in the church, and I understand that it was thanks to the people who came to me. They were sincere and good to me. I saw Jesus in them. This is very important because our ministry is more deeds than words.

We are having difficult times, and with self-isolation, there are benefits and disadvantages. The benefit is that people have become more sensitive and more inclined towards the Gospel. My team and I took this opportunity and delivered food packages and medicine to families in need.

want to thank you for participating in the ministry of sick children, their mothers, widows, and orphans. Because of the pandemic epidemic, three families are in St. Petersburg and cannot leave to Omsk. Their children are diagnosed with leukemia underwent a bone marrow surgery and we cannot visit them,

Brothers and sisters, I welcome you! I am very glad that we are participating in the spreading of the Gospel, helping people in their grief. We are currently paying special attention to two families – this is Anastasiya with Dasha and Ulyana with Savelya.

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

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.

In early October, I flew to Moscow to visit Eugene and Rita with their adopted son Alex. He has been on treatment for three months

Greetings to you my brothers and sisters, I wish everybody a Merry Christmas. This is a very important event every year that we celebrate.

Greetings to you, dear brothers and sisters! Voloda’s mother, Svetlana, is sending regards and a heartfelt gratitude to you.
