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.
This month, we held a reunion for orphanage graduates, with 34 children aged 16-21. These are children we have supported for the past 6 years. Not all of them will choose the right path, but they have a chance to change and glorify God in their lives.
In the hospice, there is a boy named Vanya who is 7 years old and very ill. His nervous system is affected, and he has many physical injuries. He lies in bed restrained because he scratches his face and could damage his eyes, and he suffers from severe convulsions. When I visit, I take him in my arms, walk with him, and pray for him. He calms down and stops arching his back. He needs constant medication, treatments, and special nutrition. I ask you to pray for Vanya and his health! God is almighty and can heal the child!
There is also good news! Apollon, a boy from the hospice whom we cared for over 3 years, has found a family. We visited him, and he is happy and content. I am grateful to God and to you that I can effectively carry out this ministry with the children! Thank you for your help and prayers!
