My name is Natalia Sukhareva, I am the class teacher of a 9th grade student Elnura Kokunova. I would like to share the story of this girl and how God isworking in her life and the changes I see in her life. Elnura was born in 2009 andlives in Kara-Bulak with her mom, stepfather (her dad died), grandmother andtwo younger sisters. When Elnura came to our school to study, she was a closed,crying and sometimes aggressive girl. However, while studying at our school, shebegan to change, she became more open, more sociable.

       Every morning, at the morning devotional meetings, she sings praise songs withgreat joy. When the coordinator asked her if she prays or not, Elnura answeredthat she prays to Jesus Christ every night. Elnura has a little sister who is sick witha heart defect and Elnura constantly asks for prayer for her, even in class whenthey pray with the children, she comes to the coordinator and asks for prayer. Shealso prays for her father (stepfather) that he can find a good job. Elnura believesthat God answers her prayers. I am grateful to God that He is changing Elnura`sheart, her attitude to her relatives and to the boarding school students. I amgrateful to all the people and sponsors for the fact that we have such a school,where children are able to get to know God and then, having learned how to pray,build a relationship with God.
