Children from Bucha, Ukraine, participated in a great party to celebrate \u201cChildren\u2019s Day,\u201d which is celebrated on the 1st of June. About 100 children participated in the event, and the Children\u2019s Bible Center (CBC) educators prepared games, competitions, and gifts for the little ones. These children live moments of joy in the midst of the war in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children also had the opportunity to learn about faith and the unlimited love that the Lord Jesus Christ has for them, followed by a prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone participated with enthusiasm! There were fun games and activities! Plus, a message of faith was passed to them in a language aimed at children. We showed that it is possible to find peace in Jesus amid war. We also taught them that they could reach Him through prayer and sincere words\u201d, said Alla Velikzhanina, responsible for the project.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city was one of the first to be attacked in the conflict with Russia and was severely destroyed. In war, everyone suffers, but children are more vulnerable.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the sirens sound, it\u2019s a warning that an attack is coming. Everyone has to run to take cover in the bunkers. Many, taken by fear, cry. Besides this, the noises of explosions increase the people\u2019s despair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany lost their parents because they were summoned and never came back. Others were orphaned by their father and mother, depending on the care of their grandparents, uncles, or orphanages. Just like adults, they also need strength from God and the peace that only He can give. Therefore, CBC\u2019s work is essential to connect these children to the Father\u201d, added Alla.<\/span><\/p>\n

Testimonials:<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cMy daughter left the party very happy. She liked it so much that she asked if there was CBC every day and asked to come back tomorrow\u201d, said Lesia Gurmenuk.<\/span><\/p>\n
