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

In Omsk, we continue to take care of Savely. He has a very unusual problem, he cannot walk, since he was born without kneecaps. His mother has two more sons but no husband.

A 12-year-old child weighs more than sixty kilograms (132lb). She can’t lift him and generally is rarely at home since she is working from morning til late at night. After talking with Savely, I realized that the child not only cannot move independently but also has speech problems, he cannot learn and is gradually degrading. We have known each other for four months now, and Savely was a blessing to us. He always smiles, waits, and writes. If I don’t come, he is not able to go outside. He has nothing to eat and wears clothes that are not for the right season and is alone.

His birthday was on April 15th. We bought him a computer; this is the only opportunity for him to study remotely. I installed him a Bible and various courses to learn the Russian language, mathematics, and history. We also brought him food because we know that their refrigerator was empty.

Please Praise God that there are good people like you that pray and support us!
