Overview of Ministry Activity
Ministry Model
- We develop Mentors throughout the year, preparing them to model Christ’s love and guide the
children spiritually and socially, using our 12-3-1 Mentoring concept.
- We enable orphanage outreach by providing regular mentoring visits, youth centers, holiday
programs, and summer camps.
- We equip orphans for success by teaching practical skills, creating a culture of hope, offering the
love and acceptance of a Christian community, and providing sponsorship opportunities.
- We partner with organizations, businesses and individuals in Russia, Ukraine, the United States,
and abroad to gain access to children and provide resources for the mission.
- We prepare team leaders and teams to mentor the 12-3-1 Mentors through special outreaches to
introduce Jesus, initiate relationships with the children, and support the mentors spiritually.
