Happy First School Day!

The summer came to end and it’s time to come back from rest and start the school. September 1st is important holiday for all children, but the most for those who will go to school for the first time in their lives, there are 3 such children at Father’s House this year!

From the depth of our hearts we congratulate all children and wish inspiration, hard-working and persistence in this new up coming school year! Also we thank the staff of local school in Petrivske village for care and hospitality and wish a good study year to all children and teachers!

A lot of children of those who came to Father’s House this year have a great need in individual education because of neglect, which demands finances. If you have a desire to help children in gaining the proper level of education to start full-value studying at school, you can make a donation on our bank account. God bless you.

Recreation Christian camp in Sweden

It’s the second year already as the children of Father’s House have the unique opportunity for spiritual and physical rest and recreation at Christian camp in Sweden. This year the camp was intended for teenagers, so the program was fitting – a lot of active games outside, a trip to Amusement park, Aqua park, zoo and other places of interest. Also the trip to the forest was organized for us where kids had a chance to gather berries – blackberry, strawberry and raspberry. Our boys made a football team so they could take part in game with local Swedish football club, and their victory helped them strengthen their self-confidence, and after a tense game they were so glad to have a good meal with delicious hamburgers.

But, nevertheless the brightest emotions were caused by fellowship with Swedish friends, as the for real friendship the language doesn’t matter, as emotions and mimicry usually says much more then the words do. The very important for our teenagers was to watch as people are offering and sacrificing their time and finances to make their rest possible.

Altogether 11 children from Father’s House had a chance to visit the camp in Sweden. All of them came back renewed spiritually and physically, filled with unforgettable emotions and desires to come back to this beautiful country, and with new strengths started their new school year.

From the depth of our hearts we thank our friends and partners in Sweden for a wonderfully organized camp and unforgettable rest in this beautiful country. God bless you abundantly!
