Russian Missions
We received a "thank you" from the Russian Missions for our support for this past year. Some of their accomplishments this past year include:
- Provided almost 2,500 at-risk children and youths Christmas treats and stage holiday programs so that they might hear about the birth of Jesus Christ... many for the first time.
- Throughout Russia, almost 5,000 children and youths were given Christian summer camp experiences free of charge. Many dedicated their lives to the Lord during these eventful days.
- In 2005 they saw the expansion of their Christian puppet ministry. Twelve teams were equipped and trained to do this flourishing
- Humanitarian efforts and spiritual aid continued to the needy in hospitals, prisons, hospice centers, orphanages, boarding school, desolate villages, as well as many inner city sites.
- A drug and alcohol rehabilitation center was opened this year, for which they already have an extensive waiting list.
Russian Missions will be spotlighted on our church hanging screen during services in March. Watch for it.!
