Below are some updates for our workers in Perm

Date: February 1, 2007

Last week on the 22nd we had Bible study at the drug rehab hospital. There, we showed our program: tricks, skits and preached gospel. There were 16 teenagers ages 13 up to 17. After that we had a time of fellowship with children and prayed with them. One of the boys, his name is Ura, said that he reads Bible every night and has it with him all the time. He showed us small New testament book in his pocket. He is 17; he is from orphanage in Solicamsk. His heart is very opened for God. We gave him our address and we want to support him in his faith.

On the 24th we visited an orphanage in New Ilynsky. There were about 30 children, ages 12 up to 16. We showed them our program: skits, tricks etc. Then we prayed with them and they all accepted Christ in their hearts! We presented them New Testaments and balloons. We met there one boy Sasha Paklin, he lived in our Christian shelter in Gayva and now lives there last year. We had fellowship with him. You can see his picture, he is seating on the sofa.

On the 25th we were in another orphanage in Perm. There were 40 children ages 12 up to 16. We had one brother from the church with us. He told them his testimony and they listened to him very carefully. Then we showed our program. After that we had fellowship with children. And we spent an excellent time with them. Many of them opened their hearts for Jesus. We could see that God made great work in their hearts!

On the 26th we visited a tuberculosis hospital in Perm. There are many children from orphanages from Perm and Perm region. There were 40 children, ages 3 to 14. Many of them stay there for 5 months. We showed there our program and pray together. Some children ages 1 to 2 stay there with their mothers if they have them. And ladies watched all our program and gave their hearts to Jesus! Praise the Lord!
