One of the problems that orphans have after leaving the orphanage is that they are not able to live independently. 70% of orphans cannot survive outside the walls of the orphanage. Therefore, we decided to take patronage over children of an orphanage in the village Petropavlovka, which is 155miles away from the city.
The director of the orphanage gave us permission to take care for the children in the city after they leave the orphanage, this was a breakthrough for us. But we could not even imagine how events would develop further. There is a family in our team that couldn’t have children for a long time. They started visiting the boarding school with us and they liked one girl very much. They thought, prayed and decided to adopt her. When they talked about it to the director, they learned that the girl has a younger sister and by law, they cannot be separated. So, Dmitry and Eugenia decided to adopt both girls. This is the best ministry we could have been doing.
Here is a brief testimony from Evgenia: “We are full of joy, that we want to scream! God gave us two girls. We still cannot believe it! I am so happy that my head is spinning, and my thoughts are everywhere!”
When you are reading this then two lovely little girls sleep in their own beds now. And in the morning, they run to their new parents, to hug and kiss them. These kids now have a future! Thank God! Thank you for your support!
