Each year, more than 120,000 new children are admitted
to orphanages in Russia.
Economic and moral life is down in the former Soviet
Union. Alcohol is destroying many families and the most
vulnerable are the children. As a result, thousands
of families make the unfathomable decision to abandon
or give their children to poor houses and children's
homes, just to save their lives.
Mention the noun "orphan" in the United States
and American adults envision an extraordinary child
who lost parents through some heartrending event. Mention
orphan in Russia and a Russian adult personally knows
children consigned to a state-run orphanage. Why? A
mother/father unable or unwilling to care for their
child/children often leave their Podkidysh* (*translated-one
that is left at the door) children are literally left
at the orphanage entrance. Survival is a way of life
for these children. They go to sleep without hope.
Russian Missions has stepped forward in a "Leap
of Faith" and has dedicated itself to provide emotional
(counseling, Christian education, holiday programs,
etc.) and financial support (food, clothing, hygiene
items, children's books as well as Bibles) for these
needy orphans. We must make an impact for Christ on
these wonderful children
It has been often said, "Touch someone's life,
and you have truly touched the world." There are
countless stories about how your donations have made
a difference in the lives of these needy children. We
encourage everyone to "touch the world" and
donate.
