Sveta


Sveta graduated from the orphanage a couple of years ago. At the time when she was at the orphanage Michelle and I spent a lot of time with her and other girls from her class. We invited the girls to the Inter-Varsity meetings and just were friends with them. A year ago I met Sveta and learned that she was pregnant and her boyfriend broke up with her when he found out that she is pregnant. Michelle, Sergey and I tried to see how we could help her but mostly just prayed for her and for the unborn babe and for the father of the babe to come back to her and take care of her and the babe...
Sveta's daughter Lena is 10 months old now...She has both a mother and a father (when Sveta's ax-boyfriend asked to Sveta to come back he didnt even explain why he did it, he just pleaded for her and for the babe to live with him) Sveta is excpecting a second babe, she is 20 years old now.
Sveta came over and we had a great time cooking and chatting. Even though God did answer our prayers still Sveta needs a lot of encouragement and help. Her husband comes home drunk often (they live in the countryside and it is common for people there to drink alchohol regulary). Please pray that God would use Sergey and I to witness to this young family. Please pray for the new babe who is due this summer!
