Helping orphans and street children in Russia

On another note: school got out about three weeks ago for summer break for our kids at the shelter. These guys are a bit slow and had to study a bit longer but that’s okay! Now Olga Petrushova and other members of our team finished with tutoring and helping street children do their homework. Every one of us mentioned that it was such a blessing to be able to work with the kids and see their little faces light up every time they would understand the material; eager and excited to learn. It is time to rest now. Olga, the director of the shelter that ICMinistries Russia heavily support spiritually and financially, went camping with the children… they had so much fun!!!! Five more children not in the picture… but they were there for the program where they learnt how to read the Bible and apply it practically in their lives. It is always worth it all to be a part of their lives and see so many of them who didn't know anything about the Lord, start reading their Bibles and praying to the Lord! It is a huge blessing! My wife Olga and I enjoy every year watching them progress. All our kids in the shelter and orphanages are full of hugs and telling us how much they had missed Olga and me when we are on our missions trips. I wrote them a week ago that we'll see them around this summer so they were happy. Orphanage principals are very appreciative and thankful for us being there for the children and invite us to come and minister to them when school starts up in September. We have been given an open invitation to come and walk kids to their schools as being parents to them. As we come we share from the Word and give each and every kid a gift with all the school supplies he/she needs during the school year. God has been so good to us giving us funds to buy the best quality school supplies for all the orphans and street children for the last seven years!

Actually, we will start collecting funds for our Back to School Project pretty soon! If you have it in your heart to participate in that powerful project prayerfully and financially, you are more than welcome! You can pray for us and the kids, and make a tax-deductible gift to BCC, 23411 Bundy Canyon Rd., Wildomar, CA 92595, please designate your gift for Mission Russia. With much love and blessings to all of you!
