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. Savely and his mother Ulyana are especially thankful. Thanks to you, we were able to participate and bring warmth and light into their lives!
Also, in St. Petersburg after a bone marrow transplant, there are four children from Omsk, whom we help. The head physician of the department once again said that “we are a team and without you, I cannot imagine the work of the department”. She blessed us and this is a breakthrough in the development of the ministry. Since May 1, the department has a girl Lera with her mother Maria. Lera is seven years old. She has lymphoblastic leukemia (blood cancer). She urgently needs a bone marrow transplant, and on May 23, I took them to the airport. Maria herself, Lera’s mother, had a difficult life. She was brought up in an orphanage and, although she has a husband and another child, their family lives below the poverty level. We fully clothed Lera and her Mom so that they could fly to the surgery. Doctors say that there is only a small chance for her, everything needs to be done quickly. We took them under our care, and will we help them in any way possible in Omsk and in St. Petersburg.
Please pray for Lera’s family. We will need to help them with housing, food, and purchase medicines. Thank you for your concern!
