Brev från Anatoly 2014-05-27

Dear friends!

In His Word the Lord suggests “if you see your brother in need do not close your heart.” (James 2:15) Act by belief and also act by your work. I am very grateful to the Lord that our transition orphans practically every Saturday of May responsed to help some other people in need.  In our church we have such people.

In the past Saturdays  we went to help some families with many kids. The Markov family has already built their house and they needed to clean their yard  and also all their territory near the house from the construction rubbish. The Gorkovenko family has just started to build their house. Because of the financial limit they are glad to have any not skilled labour such as digging the ground by a spade.

The Morokov family moved to Ryazan from Kazaxstan 2 years ago.  In Kazaxstan Islam wins some new and new regions. They limit Christian people in their freedom and in their desire to live in the Christian way. They arrest and make Christians pay some fine for taking part in worship.  Here not far from Ryazan the Morokov family were able to buy some cheap hut  and the territory near this hut was full of garbage and rubbish.  Our transition kids getting some edifying - to help some other people and so to serve the Lord. “Whatever you do, do your work heartily , as for the Lord rather than for men.” (Coloss.3:23). They in spite of the very hot weather 30 degrees praised the Lord and with some inspiration cleaned all territory near the hut. We have loaded several lorries with the garbage.

The kids were tired but very content when they came back to the Transition Home. They were grateful to the Lord for the opportunity to serve Him and to praise Jesus Name.  

In His Name,
Anatoly.
