Every nationality is unique and beautiful before God. Children praising God in their own language are the guarantee of the future for a nation. Children are always the most active part of a society.

Some Udmurt children have already received bright and colorfully illustrated children's Bibles. At our evangelistic concerts children take the front rows. During our missions trips to villages in Udmurtia, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Perm region, Kirov region and Mari El the gospel has been spoken to children in the Udmurt language. Thousands of the Udmurt children received a divine gift – a children's Bible in their native language. Children's ministry has been started in some places like the villages of Kipchak and Gojan in Perm region, Nizhny Yurashi and Novy Utchan in the Udmurt Republic.

The Word of God spoken to the children's hearts in the Udmurt language produces a wonderful effect. We have witnessed God's healings of children with physical illnesses or traumatized by parents’ abuse. But the most wonderful effect of God’s work is that parents come to God through their children. For, a child’s prayer to Heavenly Father, often filled with tears and sadness about fathers and mothers, will always be heard by God. May many families see God’s healing this year, and parents begin to bless their children!
