конференция "Обними-не отпускай"

WE CAN SEE MORE THAN WE CAN EVEN IMAGINE.

In 2008 my wife and I visited an orphanage in Vorzel for the first time. There were 10—15 special needs children who impressed us especially. I remember how desperate I was to realize that no one needed those children. I suffered thinking that they had no future and their lives will end in the institution. We could only visit those kids, involve our local church into ministering to them, to share with some Ameicans our grief and bring them to that orphange to visit.

For the last three years I have been witnessing miracles though they are still hard to comprehend. Most of those kids were adopted into families. Today they have parents and become socially adjusted. It is an honor for me to even touch the lives of these children and to the work of God He is doing in them and for them.

I want to introduce three of those kids to you.

Igor.




A boy who you always want to visit because he is so friendly and outgoing! Despite his desease he is brilliant and has great memory! Today he is adopted into a wonderful American family.

Ruslan








Nadya, Sasha and Dima.







We met these kids in 2009. All 3 of them lived in Vorzel's orphanage. Nadya was 6, Sasha was 3 and Dima was 1. They knew very well they were the only family for each other. It was so sad to know that Nadya was moved to a boarding-school. The boys were so upset and depressed not to have their older sister around. An incredible miracle happed. One family from Almaz church in Ukraine fell in love with these kids during one of the ministry projects. They were praying in secret for two years about adopting them. Our Lord Jesus promiced to give to those who ask Him.
Dear Friends!

We long to let you know that the miracles God does in lives of many people become evident in our family in Ukraine!

It is hard to put into words what we experienced when the doctor said that Liza’s nose was broken. We heard it from a well-qualified doctor and the X-ray proved the diagnosis.

We tried to stay calm and confident in the Lord. We trusted Him in everything we had to face. It was so encouraging when we heard from all of you!!! We were so moved that so many people prayed right away about our daughter!

We were broken before God and got ready for the surgery. We got to a hospital early in the morning and we knew it was all in God’s hands. We had to stay in line for 2.5 hours to see the doctor. It is an average situation in Ukraine. We had prayed and asked God to bless us with a good doctor. An we did met a professional. He looked at the X-ray and he commented angrily that we were not attentive to let it happen. Then he had several tests and with a great surprise he said the nose was not broken just hit. We asked him to test Liza again to make sure he was absolutely right. He said that in his opinion there was no fracture. It is hard to tell how happy we were to hear that. But from the other hand we got suspicious. Why would it be so?

The next day we went to the institute of otolaryngology to hear the third side’s opinion. We wanted to make sure the nose was ok and did not need a surgery. The professor there proved that the nose was hurt but not broken and Liza did not need the surgery!

What a relief!

So today we can confidently say that God healed our daughter! It is unbelievable but true.

Today instead of sitting in the hospital and suffering from pain after surgery we are able to keep on serving the Lord and His church.

Please, share our joy with us! Tell us that our Lord is the Lord of healing and He is merciful to the families who labor for Him.

Today we are in awe but joyful!
