March 27, 2008 Ufa street kids updates. Dear brothers and sisters. Thank you for prayers about Ruslan, Ksusha i Pasha.
We
saw Ksusha and Pasha today during the street patrols. they both are back
to Ufa. today they were really sober and they told to us that last Monday
they have made a decision to stop sniffing glue, drink (and maybe later to
stop smoking). They called to the pastor of the church on Tuesday and
asked him a permission to visit Sunday morning service (that's surprised
Praise God for these changes! Thank God for you and your prayers! He is powerful! Keep on praying! Love, And happy late Easter (in Russia we will celebrate it on 27 April) Psalm 93:4 More than the sounds of many waters, {Than} the mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD on high is MIGHTY.
March 19,2008 Hello, my dear brothers and sisters! It's spring coming to Ufa now, everything is melting and more and more street children appear on the street every day, so we again ask you to pray about us. We have a lot of news - so many things happen every day that i don't even have time to keep you update through the internet. we had wonderful concert for street children "Look to the Heavens" where we had a lot of children and we also are in contact with many new street children. I'll write about it later, but today I want to share 2 prayer needs about 2 persons.
Though she has her own 2 children age 1 and 5 and mom, they live in the village not far from Ufa. We have visited Ksusha and others for 3 months 2 times a week during patrols and we have been praying about God's hand in this situation. We didn't want to destroy their "family" and "house" because they would consider us enemies, but we realized that not we but God can do something in this situation.
Yesterday we came there during the patrol, sitting in the car we have
prayed for God's special leading and some changes in the situation. when
we came in we saw Ksusha with cut veins, in blood. she tried to suicide
after quarrel with her boyfriend. He was not far from there, sniffing
glue and drinking. We helped Ksusha, clean her wound and talked a lot. She called t her mom and made a decision to be back home to her children. Yesterday night we took her there by car. Prayer need now that she would stay there, not trying to come back. That God would work in her heart and change her heart. That Pasha, being here alone would have wish to go to the rehab center. Deciding question with this couple we can strategically save a lot of children - Those who are around them now, going the wrong way. Pray intensively for Ksusha and Pasha. I thank you, brothers and sisters, for your prayers. and I want to ask you that you inform me if you decided to pray about some of them. then I will inform you personally about news and changes in their lives. This ministry is possible only by prayers. By your prayers. By your prayers there are changes in life of those unlovable boys and girls. By your prayers you have chance to see them on heavens some day.
Deliver those who are being taken away to death, And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold {them} back. Proverbs 24:11 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit Eph. 6:18

him,
because he didn't know about the decision yet).
KSUSHA is 20
years old. She lives in the burnt house in the small dirty room
(size of your bed). She is the oldest of children who gather there. They
call her "mom" sometimes, but this "mom" leads them wrong way.
She sniffs
glue a lot and drinks alcohol a lot. She has a boyfriend, Pasha, and they
live like family there, in that burnt house.
