Acts 20:35 – “I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

The God’s Heart TV Team recently visited a rehabilitation centre in the nation of Kazakhstan on a humanitarian mission. Located in the suburbs of Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan, the rehabilitation centre run by Pastor Tomas Tomassov freely provides shelter and support for those struggling with drug addiction, homelessness and deprivation. The ministry, which began over 32 years ago, supports over 100 people in eight dedicated houses, helping people in need to undergo rehabilitation both physically and spiritually. To the glory of God, the team from God’s Heart TV provided four new beds to one of the homes, complete with new bedding, as well as an array of electric tools to aid the ministry team in teaching practical skills such as carpentry. The team also supplied hot food and shared words of encouragement and hope to all in attendance. We thank God for the privilege to share God’s love to those in need all over the world!

01:35♪♪♪♪
01:55Good morning. We are the God's Heart TV team in Kazakhstan.
02:00We are now in the city of Almaty, even more likely this is the suburb of the city of Almaty.
02:05We are on the territory of one of the rehabilitation centers,
02:09which is under the patronage of the Church of Joy and Pastor Thomas Tomasov.
02:16It is written in the Bible,
02:18that it is better to give than to receive, and this is one of the principles of our service,
02:25one of the spheres of our service, when we are engaged in charity for various needy.
02:32I would also like to introduce you to the pastor, the main pastor of the Church of Joy, Thomas Tomasov.
02:41Hello. I am glad to have the opportunity to tell a little about us now.
02:47Our church has existed for more than 32 years,
02:51and we preach the Gospel in Almaty, in Kazakhstan and beyond.
02:56Of course, we pray and look for ways to reach people.
03:00And one of the ways that Jesus himself showed us is the path of social service, the path of charity.
03:08And all our services that we started in these years are a response to the needs of people in Kazakhstan and in Almaty in particular.
03:18Thus, over the past few years, we have opened 8 social homes.
03:22These are shelters, rehabilitation centers, shelters.
03:27This is an opportunity to help people who are in difficult crisis situations,
03:34who are in dependence, who are deprived, who are without a home, and many, many tragic and difficult stories.
03:44But we really were able to respond to the needs of these people by opening our homes one after another.
03:54And you know, it is such a blessing to see how Jesus comes into the lives of people,
04:01stretches out a hand of help and opens the heart of God's full love.
04:07Of course, our homes cannot exist on their own.
04:11We always hope that someone will support us in this.
04:16And we see how people with a desire and with joy respond to our requests, support us.
04:23From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the team of God's Heart TV and say that you are very timely.
04:31And we are very happy that in your face and in the face of the whole large, numerous team of God's Heart TV,
04:39we receive support today in the form of such wonderful gifts for our service.
04:45You know, we bring people to work, we bring people together and teach them to master some new skills, specialties,
04:55so that people do not just spend time sitting back, let's say, after some long, difficult stages of life,
05:04but so that, receiving spiritual help, psychological help, they also gain some new skills.
05:11Therefore, thank you for these wonderful tools for repairing cars, for construction.
05:20All this is very valuable and it will affect the lives of many people.
05:25Thank you for these bedding, mattresses, beds.
05:30You know, we have the opportunity to accept more people and help more people.
05:36Already today, in general, under the roof of the service of the Church of Joy in all houses,
05:43about 100 people receive help from the Lord through our service.
05:50And I want to say with confidence that today you are also part of this process of restoring life,
05:58support and transformation of the fates of many, many men and women,
06:05elderly people, the disabled and children.
06:08Thank you very much.
06:09May God bless you abundantly and may your service prosper.
06:17And the opportunity and desire do not stop supporting such a service as ours.
06:23May the Lord bless you.
06:28Roman, the pastor of the social services of the Church of Joy
06:49My name is Roman. I am a pastor of the social services of the Church of Joy under the leadership of Thomas Tomasov.
06:55I lead several social projects. These are 6 houses for people who are in need and former addicts.
07:04Tell me, please, how can these items, which were blessed by God's Heart TV and partners,
07:11serve this rehabilitation center, this particular center?
07:18Well, I'll probably start with the fact that the guys first prayed for such tools,
07:21so that they had everything they needed so that they could build something and do something.
07:26Since we have a closed type of service for rehabilitation,
07:29we need these tools very much in order to go to work,
07:33earn some living minimums, and for the center to live.
07:37That is, we are practically self-sufficient.
07:40And the fact that there is every tool for this or that area for the needs,
07:45we are very happy, we really need it.
07:48And we also brought beds, was it also necessary for the rehabilitators?
07:55Yes, since we have 6 houses, but this is the area of ​​rehabilitation,
08:00we have no more rehabilitation, but many guys come, former addicts,
08:05who need salvation, healing and, of course, liberation from their vices.
08:11And we have now made heating on the third floor, on the mansion,
08:15and we need beds in order to somehow resettle these people.
08:19That is, our scale of the house is minimal, but we have sleeping places,
08:23where we can accommodate a large number of people.
08:26The team of God's Heart TV and the partners of God's Heart TV
08:54transfer these beds to the rehabilitation center.
08:57Tell me, please, how can these beds serve you?
09:01Yes, you know, if we take a review, then we have this large room,
09:08and it was practically empty until the first bed was delivered.
09:16And we are ready to accept people, we do not always have enough,
09:20that is, both a place and a bed, respectively, we call it a bed.
09:24And thank God, we now see, God is His glory, and we see the bed.
09:29And I believe that this is the first step, and it will only grow more and more in our lives.
09:36And God is good to us, and He is His glory,
09:40both in everyday life and in the process of the formation of our hearts.
09:44And this is obvious.
09:45And today I can say with confidence that,
09:49yes, Lord Jesus, You are the blessing and mercy, and You are with us every day.
09:54And this confidence lives in my heart.
09:57And yes, we need beds very much, and they already appear in our lives, thank God.
10:03Thank you, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for what He is through people, through their hearts.
10:12This is the heart of God, TV, through their participation,
10:16through their acceptance of the fact that they participate in this God's work.
10:22Thank you, Jesus, first of all for each of them.
10:25We thank God.
10:43Dmitriy Kuznetsov
10:55Hello everyone, my name is Dmitriy.
10:58And once, in 2014, Jesus came into my life and showed His great love and His great mercy.
11:08And, you know, it captured my heart, it captured my life.
11:13And then I decided to devote my life to the Lord and serve Jesus Christ,
11:19serve the Church, serve people and help people.
11:23At the moment, I am a housekeeper who helps the disabled,
11:30who helps those people who have refused.
11:33And really, there is my heart, because these are the people from whom everyone turned away
11:40and there is no one to help them, no one to serve them.
11:43And I thank the mission of God's Heart TV, their partners, for the blessing that appeared in our lives.
11:54We prayed a lot about it, we often asked God.
11:56And God answers prayers, God is faithful.
11:59God blessed us with bed linen, God blessed us with all our belongings.
12:05And this is really a blessing for us.
12:09We thank all of you, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for His love.
12:15It really fills everything in everything, thanks to those people who, just like me,
12:21are distracted by God's call and really go and help people.
12:26Thank you all!

15:34this is all His glory.
15:36And for us to do some task that will be set,

16:00People come and the first help that God blesses,
16:08it always turns out and is explained in what direction we are moving,
16:14what we are pursuing.
16:16But first of all, for a person to change from the inside.
