In Kenya, some of the most meaningful ministry moments are not the loud ones. They happen in ordinary days — around meals, in conversations at home, during prayer with children, and in the steady care that helps a child feel safe again. This is the kind of ministry Natalia continues to carry out through Assistance Mission, serving children, foster families, and the local team with both practical support and spiritual care.

A large part of this season has been centred on the children. They continue to receive food and daily care, and while these may seem like simple things, they matter deeply. For a child, a meal, a calm evening, and the presence of someone who keeps showing up can become a foundation of stability. Yet alongside this practical care, the heart of the ministry remains the same: speaking with children about God, praying with them, and helping them encounter His love in everyday life. This is where true transformation begins.

At the same time, Natalia has continued investing in the local team. She spends time getting to know them more personally, praying for them, and helping them grow in the Lord and in their ministry. This week they gathered at her home for fellowship — a quiet but important time of encouragement, unity, and shared faith.

The ministry to foster families also continues. These meetings are filled with conversation, support, prayer, and practical help, including food packages for the households caring for children. This time, there was also an opportunity to buy new clothes for the younger children. Their sizes are often difficult to find in second-hand shops, so new clothes became the best option. Thanks to the support of those who give through IMOC, each child received trousers, shorts, a shirt, a T-shirt, and a new pair of shoes.

Some moments stay in the heart longer than others. Two boys who had joined the family not long ago went into such a shop for the first time. They stopped and simply looked around, taking it all in. For them, it was something entirely new. Later, there was enough funding left to take the children out for ice cream too — a small outing, but one that brought real joy. Natalia has also been making space for more evening visits with the children and time in foster homes, including one recent visit where they simply sat together, drank tea, and talked. Nothing dramatic happened there, but that is often how trust is built.

This ministry continues because people choose to care. Thank you to everyone who supports this work through IMOCE — through giving, prayer, and faithfulness. Your kindness reaches children, strengthens families, and makes room for the love of God to be seen in ways that are personal, gentle, and lasting.
