These socks warm not only feet but also soul

It is joyful and pleasant for us to have many friends in the different location.  We  are  very grateful to them for their prayer support and financial help, for visiting us and for our joint ministry.

We  are  very glad and grateful to the Lord when He gives some impulse to  many and many people to send His help and some special encouraging to  us which we even did not expect and did not plan to receive. So it happened this time.

Of  course,  we  know  church  in Tulski in North Kaucas (not far from Chechnya)pray  for  our  orphan ministry constantly in Ryazan. Several years  ago  they accepted our youth group in their church. (They still have their wonderful remembering).

This Christmas season for our Transition Home the youth of this church did some special and blessed gift. This youth as any other youth enjoy spending time in the relationship when they sing, study the Bible and have some fun  time together. Once before Christmas they decided to knit  some wool socks for winter. Remembering that our Transition Home has  some cold climate in winter and they decided to do some Christmas gifts - knitted wool socks for our Transition Home. It was so touching when  our  transition kids received these gifts - socks which keep the warmness of their hands and hearts.

It  was a good example for all of us to try to take care of some other people which are  in  need, doing something good. May the Lord bless this  not  big church which can do some good deeds and which can bring up such good Christian features in the youth.

In His Name,

Anatoly
