This month we visited three orphanages and held two meetings with orphanage graduates. This is a very valuable time: while in the orphanages we focus on building relationships of trust, working with graduates is very different. With them, we need to walk through many moments of their lives and influence them by our example.
We visit about 20 children twice a week — we play with them, sing songs, give gifts, and do crafts. We also work closely with their mothers. Two children have recently been admitted to us — a boy, Dima, and a girl, Liza. Their medical tests are very poor, and they are undergoing urgent examinations. They are in great need of our help.
One of the graduates paid money for a room without taking any documents and almost ended up on the street. We intervened in time and resolved the situation, preventing scammers from deceiving him. Another graduate opened a small business and almost took out a large loan without thinking about how he would repay it. Many of the graduates attend services and are happy to build friendships with us.
Thank you for your joint labor, for the glory of the Lord!
In the children’s hospice, 18 children with very serious conditions are undergoing treatment. They needed medicine, hygiene supplies, and special nutrition, and we were able to bless them with these in the oncology ward.
