Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

| Dear brothers and sisters! I have only one way left that is to get in touch with you.
I will tell in short about myself. I am Valery Matveychuk. I live in Odessa, Ukraine. I’m 42 years old. I am an invalid, I have muscular dystrophy of Duchenne, I have to stay in bed for many years.
I’m a member of First Baptist Church in Odessa.
My faith in our Lord Jesus Christ helps my in life and give strength to overcome the disease and problems which unfortunately are many.
The Lord works miracles. I’m confined to my bed but still can “come” to church and together with my brothers and sisters pray and praise the Lord – how great it is that we are together.
Brothers in Christ take me in my wheelchair to church and it’s not easy. I’m completely motionless and of course very heavy, but they don’t leave me alone. On my birthday on July 21 in 2002 they bought me a computer on their own money. It was my dream for a long time and now I have an access to e-mail.
I’ve always had a dream to have fellowship with Christians and interesting people from different towns and countries. And now the Lord through brothers and sisters made this dream come true.
Also through the Internet I am looking for information about my disease – doctors, clinics, funds etc.
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8.
I was 42 on July 21. I was born in 1965 and when I was 5 in 1970 I got sick. Now I’m completely helpless, hands can hardly work, I can’t even take a cup, it’s too heavy for me. I suddenly felt worse in fall 1979 when I was 14, then the condition got even worse in 1982 overnight when I was 17, I even remember the date – from August 31 on September 1. Since them the condition gets worse continuously, though there is no way to get it worse already. And at the beginning of summer in 1988 I fell down and broke my leg (femoral bone) and stayed in plaster for many months and it’s a disaster for such sick as me. In fact, I broke the leg twice, first time when I fell down and the second time the drunken hospital workers broke it when they carried me from home to hospital for x-ray. But nobody was surprised, I just live in a country like this. In hospitals people often die because they just didn’t get the simple medical aid.
Since 1970 and until now neuropathologists prescribe the same medicine to me, which never helped me and I felt even worse. It seems like our medicine stopped developing in 1970.
I have friends who always help me, I may say that I live at their expense. Seeing my condition and our medicine here in Ukraine, they decided to find help in western civilized counties. As I have a lot of free time, they told me to start search though my English is not good for that.
I’m looking for hospitals, clinics, charity funds which work with sick people like me.
I realize that it’s impossible to bring me back to normal life but I hope that there is a way at least to help my hands and to improve my general condition. If I could just crawl it would be a big progress for me.
For instance, I know that it’s used gene therapy, tube cells and other methods treating muscular dystrophy of Duchenne, but all of these are not used in Ukraine, everything is on the level of 1970 and the doctors agree with that.
My muscles and joints constantly aches, flabbiness. My friends see how hard it is for me and ready to help me. But the problem is to find a place where they work effectively with patients like me.
That’s why I’m asking your help. As I said before, I understand that I won’t walk any more especially after breaking the leg, but if I could work with my hands better it will be a big success for me.
Dear brothers and sisters, may be there is someone who could help me with information.
One interesting fact is that I was able to find hospitals where they work with muscular dystrophy but when they hear that I’m from poor Ukraine they quit writing. It’s sad but Ukraine is considered as a country of the third world. And there is no hospital which will be ready to work with an invalid from a country like that! That’s why I decided to try to do something through Christians.
Peace to you.

| Dear friends. Please pray for our nine-year-old ministry (started in 2001) -- www.tjlit.org (Testifying Jesus’ Love in Truth).
We make free resumes, teach free English weekly, and do free translations/interpretations in 17 languages to any church or organization that asks us to. We also give out 3000 tracts each week, and we get people who are abused, have mental illness and other problems into churches and places where they can receive help, and get kids into free dentists.
We love the Lord, and love the ministry he has blessed us with. We are deeply committed to fighting racism and poverty.
Please send us your prayers (Email: reachus@tjlit.org.), and pass our site to friends, missionaries and family, as there are many who are lonely; and, we are thrilled when Christians connect. As the world becomes more hostile towards Christians; it is essential that we connect.
At the moment we are trying to set up a pen pal club so people from all over can write to others and develop friendships.
Nobody should be lonely. If you read this and are lonely, please contact us and we will do our best to get you into a good church wherever you are in the world.
Please also click on and read the Bible verse of the day, and say a prayer for us.
Is there anyway we can help you? Please contact us.
Praise God, contact us if you are lonely, and God bless you.
To our American friends: Please read article 51 on our site “Things I love about America.”
PS. Sorry to the person whose guestbook we have just signed. If we have taken up a lot of space and not commented, again, sorry. The fact that we have left a message is proof, in our opinion, that you are good. God bless you. Ian.
