I am happy to share some news with you about our work with children at risk. On June 1st, which was Children’s Day, we were able to reach out to 400 children in various places: orphanages, pediatric oncology, hospices, and homes for disabled children. We spent quality time with them, gave gifts, played games, and had heart-to-heart conversations.

For some of these children, this celebration might be their last in this earthly life, and we talked to them about hope and trusting in Jesus. There are many positive moments. Lera’s health has improved; for over three years, we have been caring for this child. There were times when we prayed for her life when she was in very critical condition. Now, I am thinking about how to help her get an education, find meaning in life, and avoid repeating her mother’s life story.

However, there is still a need. In the hospice, there is a girl named Lyuba who has been there for two months. She is in a very difficult physical and emotional state and is being fed through a special tube in her stomach. She behaves aggressively, like a little “beast.” But she has started getting used to us and can communicate on her own level.

She needs special feeding supplies and many other small things like diapers, wipes, and more. I ask for prayers for her; she is in a very critical condition. Thank you so much for your support!
