Be merciful just as your Father is merciful.
(Luke 6:36)
Peace to you, dear brothers and sisters!
So it happens that trouble comes as an unexpected and unwanted guest into our
life, and sometimes it breaks in and destroys the quiet device or even the whole course of
our life.
The usual evening on March 1 in the family of Natalia and Edward Vinnik from
Mariupol was broken by the crying of the youngest son Daniil. The spring that the baby
had pulled from the toy hit him in the right eye. The situation did
not seem so serious, and at first the parents did not even think
about its grave consequences. But soon, the baby became a
patient of the Kiev center of eye microsurgery. The long-term
intensive treatment had completely exhausted the poor family
financially. And only then Natalia, our sister in the Lord,
turned to the mission ofhelp. To save the sight ofher son,the
family needs to pay for a complex operation to replace the lens
of the eye.
“The test that we had to transfer completely changed our attitude to the precious
gift of God – sight,” Natasha says. “We, an ordinary family, do not have any disabled
people among our relatives, so we have never thought that so many people sufferfrom blindness, but now, waking
up in the morning, we thank what we can see! Besides we have started seeing blind people in our town, who had
not been paid attention before ... Thank you very much, dear brothers and sisters, for your help. Danik will have
to endure a difficult operation, but the healing is from the Lord! Please pray for us!”
This summer our ministers in the Ivano-Frankivsk region took 5
arrivals of the visually impaired with their children, as well as the orphans
totaling 82 people. Every guest of the “House of Mercy” found here
much comfort, love and acceptance. It is extremely necessary for both
the children and the blind adults to know the spiritual world in order to
find God in it. Every day the servant brothers held thematic classes with
the guests of the House of Mercy: “Howto hear the voice ofGod”,they
learned to read and understand the Word of God. We rejoice at the appeal
to the Lord of adults and especially orphans who sincerely fell in love with
our brothers and sisters and did not want to part with them.
The Word of God teaches us that by accepting such people and
giving them mercy,we acceptthe Lord Himself. Dearbrothersand sisters,
we heartily thank you that you have
been working with us for a long time
to bring people who have lost hope of
God – the Source of life, consolation
and liberation.
With love and prayers for you, Igor Melnychuk and the team of
Ukrainian Christian Missionary Society “Ministry to the Blind”.
