Grace and peace from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
This is Andrei, he's seven years old and comes from a large family, there are nine brothers in total. Unfortunately Andrei like many other children in this locality is deprived of parental love due to the fact that his parents like alcohol more than caring for their children. I've known Andrei for a long time, since 2016 when he was one year old, and now has reached the age at which he has to go to school.
He's in prep class, he's actually in class with one of our daughters. One day when I was going to take Deborah to school, I met Andrei and I noticed that he was dressed very thin, instead of a thick winter jacket, he was wearing a sweatshirt. very thin. I asked him why he left home only in that sweatshirt and he said he had nothing else to wear.
On the same day, after I had prepared him some sweaters, two or three pairs of pants and a thick jacket, I went to his house to take them to him. When he saw me, he couldn't be more happy because he expected me to bring him a jacket. This is neither our first nor our last action in Andrei's life, but more than our clothes, we want Andrei and many other children like him to see in us people of trust, people to whom whenever he needs help to turn without restraint.
We're here for that, we're here to offer those around us compassion, love, the help they need, hope... We want people to see in us and our children our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you and we are grateful for your prayers and support so far and invite you to continue to pray for us and the mission work in this locality. Bless you!
