Thursday (Aug 16) - House 17

Upon our last visit on Thursday, we visited the house of Slavik and Luda who have 4 girls and 3 boys. The two oldest daughters are learning piano and they all want to go to school. Luda said that the kids are doing well in school, sometimes misbehaving but receive high grades nonetheless. She had also mentioned that the kids had been very healthy and she praises God that He has been graceful to have been taking care of her family.

Thursday (Aug 16) - House 16

Tamara is 81 years old and lives by herself because she’s never been married in her life. She has poor vision and can’t walk very far by herself, therefore stays at home. We’ve been blessed to have visited Tamara because we saw how spiritually strong and on fire she was for God, setting all dependence upon Him. We had a wonderful opportunity to sing songs with her and pray for her and her relatives who are not Christian.

Thursday (Aug 16) - House 15

We had a chance to visit a woman who is not Christian but is of Orthodox religion. When she was younger, she came from Poland with her parents and used to practice one version of faith. Currently, she is 70 years of age and has had 3 strokes in her lifetime which had caused her difficulty in speaking and weakened her lower back. Although she has a hard time hearing, we had the chance to share the Gospel with her, sing a few songs and pray together.

Thursday (Aug 16) - House 14

On Thursday morning, we had a chance to visit Jenya Kutsaya who lives by herself. She lives in an apartment but doesn’t have the opportunity to visit church for 6 years now. Jenya isn’t able to walk far distances because she uses 2 canes to support herself when she stands. We had a wonderful opportunity to sing songs, read the Word of God, pray with her and bless her with household necessities.

Wednesday (Aug 15) - House 13

We made a visit to Lena’s house who has 6 children and stays at home as a full-time mother. Her husband is currently working in Russia who is trying to support his big family in any way possible. We had the opportunity to bless the family with household necessities and prayed that God blesses them and raise their children to be servants of God.

Wednesday (Aug 15) - House 12

We visited a widow by the name of Maria who has a son, and a few daughters. They currently live with their grandma in a village while her son lives with her. Her son found himself a girlfriend in which she feels uncleanliness and a burden each time the girlfriend visits. With the son growing up without a father, he's been hiding his difficulties and struggles and thinks he's found someone he can open up to. We prayed with her about her family and her son and Maria believes and received a word from God that hapineness will soon come to her family.

Wednesday (Aug 15) - House 11

We had a chance to visit Larissa's family who has 12 kids and was happy to see fellow brothers and sisters in Christ visit her family and assist with household necessities. She was inspired to see us in our young years serving God and had really wished that some of her kids, who had stepped away from God, would come back and see them serve God as well. We had a chance to pray about her desperate need as a mother that her children are saved and are ready to dwell with Christ no matter what circumstances come in life.
