More food parcels and visits in Lozova

Julia and her mother Sorina used to come to church but we haven't seen them in a long time. So time for a visit! Julia was happy to see us and hugged all of us as a welcome. After that she showed her new glasses and said that now she sees much better. When I asked why they di not come anymore to church, mother answered that grandfather, who lived with them and always shouted at us when we would visit, has died and so they were busy with the funeral and all the orthodox traditions that need to be done. We  hope that they will start to come to church again and we continue to pray for this family.

Another family we visited is Nastea and her boys. One boy was a school and so George en Levi were helping their mother in the house as we arrived. Nastea's husband left her behind and went to fight in the Ukraine. She hasn't heard from him in months. We invited the family to come to church and we left them some tracts. We pray that they will get to know God as their Father.

Tanea is a mother of two children. Her husband allows her to come to church but doesnt want to come with her. So together with her two children Tanea has been attending for some months the church. Tanea has major health problems and very often she is hardly able to walk but for the sake of the children, she will go on even doing the work on her knees. We pray for healing for her and we pray that this family will get to know God as their Savior.

Food parcels in Lozova

Today we brought a food parcel to Mr ? in Lozova. We don't know his name and he wasn't very open to talk. We told Mr ? that God loves him and watches over him. He invited us in his house and there we saw how he is living. No heating system, no windows, no water, no food...just 1 broken bed. Together with Spiridon Mr ? checked out what was in the parcel and he seemed happy. He asked if he could have our phonenumber, in case he needs something. May God watch over Mr ? and hopefully we will be able to help and bless him more in the future.

Also Vasile was blessed with a food parcel. Vasile is 5 years old and hardly says any word. He has a speaking disability and we pray that as he starts to attend the kindergarten he will be developing his speech. Vasile and his mother come to the church as often as they can. Vasile's mother is very weak and she hardly doesn't have energy but when she feels good she comes to church and brings Vasile with her. He was very shy from the beginning but slowly we get more contact and we pray that God will heal Vasile and his mother Eugenia. Eugenia was left by her husband and so she has to raise Vasile by herself and without having any energy herself, no work and also no income, life is not easy. May God bless this family with all the need and especially we pray that they will get to know our heavenly father.

Bezoek

Afgelopen zaterdag hebben we Gheorghe en Nastea opgezocht in het kindertehuis waar ze nu verblijven. Gheorghe vertelde dat hij het prima naar zijn zin had: 2x per ochtend eten ze en 's avonds eten we ook 2x! En het eten is ook erg lekker, volgens Gheorghe! Verder is het warm in huis en er is ook heeel veel speelgoed! Vol trots liet hij ons ook zijn nieuwe kleren zien (omdat Gheorghe en Nastea luizen en vlooien hadden zijn al hun eigen kleren weggegooid en zijn ze ook allebei kaalgeschoren). Hij benadrukte ook nog even dat hij tot nu toe nog niet is gepest door anderen. Ook een mooi pluspunt!
Nastea was helaas niet in het kindertehuis. Net diezelfde ochtend was ze naar het ziekenhuis gebracht want ze hoest veel en heeft hoge koorts. Dus nadat we even met Gheorghe hadden gekletst, zijn we ook nog even naar het ziekenhuis gegaan. Daar was het even zoeken maar wie zoekt, die vindt! Nastea verblijft op de afdeling infecties en moet waarschijnlijk een weekje in het ziekenhuis blijven. Ook met haar hebben we even gekletst en ja, zij was ook positief over haar nieuwe woonplek, het eten en de warmte. Ze was ook blij dat ze met haar broer in 1 huis woont want dan kan hij haar beschermen en het voor haar opnemen.
Kortom, in de ogen van Gheorghe en Nastea is hun nieuwe woonplek een stap vooruit.
