4 days gone

Hello my dear friends!

Thank you for your prayers, letters and support.

Today is our 4^th day in Dehli, India. We left Childeren’s Home and come to pastor Joshua place. His family is very hospital. We already tried Indian food and being able to be on their worship and prayer service. They have fire to serve God.

I’ll told you about our 3 days mission.

We were in Children’s Home with missionaries from Ukraine. Each day we spent time with children using Awana program. We went outside to the park, to play with children. Then came back home and have second part – books. At the 3ed part we told them about Creation (one day), God created them and love them and What God did for them. Pastor Nikolay told stories and after this we made crafts. They really like to color, paint and create. They all want to see our reaction and response for their work. One team from the USA and Moldova were a big help for us. They were playing, making crafts and a lot of different things.

We have time to have fellowship with missionaries, gave presents for Childeren’s Home, made repairing in children’s room.

Also we could see how people live, what they’re doing. It’s interesting to go on a roof and see what it’s look like to live on a roof, to see how it’s dirty everywhere, how people smoke and chewing grass.

I’m thinking about children. While we’re getting ready to go outside, they should take adult’s hand and go to the place with him. A lot of girls tried to catch my hand and go with me. All their eyes were looking at me and said “Please, take mine”. At that moment I didn’t know what to do. I were afraid to offend them and hurt. I were sorry for them. Some of them has really big and pretty eyes.

We have visited poor families who lives near the slum and who have recived Jesus Christ. We saw how they live, what they have and prayed for their needs. We bought rice, sugar and oil for this family. They have just one room for their family and there are 5-9 children in it. Children are running without boots, in dirty clothes. But this people (families) love God. And they can smile and praise God. There were a family who hasn't any food from yesterday and the mom asked her daughters pray to God and ask for food and not to go and ask someone. It's amazing but God sent us and we would able to help them. Praise God!

Tomorrow we’re having pastors conference. Please pray for this.

1 day in India

We're in India!

Got safty yesterday to Dehli. Our flight was deleted for 2 hours.
We were met by missionaries from Children's Home. And they gave places for us to have rest. At the morning time we had team time in reading and prayer. The thought for today is that we need to go by faith and be flexible.

After all for the first time we went outside.
Really interesting place and country. Narrow street where it is dust, people, cars, motoricsha. We saw cow on the street. It's interesting just to look at people, their clothes, faces, what they're doing. It's a poor country. In each shop they have their gods.

There are a lot of people here in Children's Home. We're going to do Awana Club here today and tomorrow.

Please pray for us and our mission. And for Ajmal to get visa.

1 day left

Oh, it's just one day befor my first mission trip.

Session is finished but not for the excellent marks:( But God knows.

We got visas on Friday but it's single visa instead of double. So, we don't know yet what God has prepared for us throught this. Adjmal are going to get his visa on Monday at 10 am. We're praying that God does everything in time.

God has shown a lot of things and lessons. With visas, with people... God blessed in ANAZING way. We collected all financial support. God has opened people to bring toys, cars, money, love and joy.

I don't know what to expect there. But I know that God will be with me!

Thanks for your prayers and support!

One week left

Just a few days befor mission trip... It's amazing, how fast time is running!

We had one more meeting with our team on Saturday. This 4 hours were blessed. In the begining we shared with everyone what God has done and still is doing in our lives, in preparation, in finances and then we had time to praise God for everything.
Here is some blessings.
In the begining we afraid for financial support and God has shown us that it's the simple question for Him. He blessed everyone and we almost collect it. Pastor Nikolay and Adjmal have basic sum. My father and I still need a little more. Praise God for His work. He opens people's hearts. Today one man (he's the father of one woman) was at the chutch for the first time and he hear about mission trip to India and Nepal. He's non-believer. And God opened his heart and he gave some money for it. Praise God. One more exsample, father of Sergey who my mom is sitting with donate money for mission trip too. He is non-believer, too. His wife and children are going to our church. One of my friend write to me and sad I want to donate a little sum. But it doesn't matter how much. He thought that when he'll need something how people will help him and he decided to do this. It's his first time when he does something for mission. One lady from Tulsa donate money for the zoo project for kids. We have a lot of exsamples like this. Our church has donate a big sum. Thanks God for this lovely church family.
One more encourage thing is that one prayer group from Borovich church has heard God's voice to fast and pray about mission trip during this 2 weeks. It's really important for us. Please, write me back if your're reading this letters and pray about us. We want to know you and say thank you. We're going to make prayer calander for you to help you pray more specifically.
Praise God for Janice. This time she had an interesting jorney. But she came back safe and she brought a lot of things for mission trip. She brought all equipment - video camare, projector, speaker and some things for craft.
People start to bring small cars, toys, LEGO.
Thanks for all your preayers about this needs and your help.

Second part of our meeting was sharing what we have done and what needs to be done.
Some past of work we did. We know approximate schedule for our trip. This week we'll conect with everyone and make all program. I start to work on childrens programs and prepare songs for worship. For this week there are a big work for all of us. To correct program, finished and write down all songs, games, Bible stories, prepare everything for craft and all gifts, print all materials and prepare our hearts. We're going to have 2 skype conference on Tuesday and Friday.

And at the end again we start to pray about our needs. We haven't got visa yet. But praise God that embessy took 3 pasports (except Adjmal) and they told that we'll recive it on Wednesday. We need to pray that tomorrow they will take Adjmal's pasport. There were some problems with documents, they need one more copy. Today we recived it from him and tomorrow we'll give it to this man. It was amazing how God works with this man. In the begining he didn't want to work with our documents. But when he found out why we're going to mission trip, he asked why we didn't tell this earlier.
We prayed for our team to be together and have peace between us. And we have a need in people who will pray during our trip. If you would, please write to me.

We have a lot of projects and still we need to collect money for it. For exsamle, to buy a Bible on Hindi and a plastic bag for one pastor we need $6. We'll have 40 pastors, so for all project - $240. Another project to feed pastors with lunch and just tea. Or we bought video-camara and may be you want to help with this.

Please pray for all last preparation. And I have one more exam on Friday.

Thanks again for your support, prayers and help.

God bless you!
