Child sponsorship: help sponsor entire orphanage
Save the life of a Russian orphan! 3 million Russian orphans face a future of
drugs, alcohol, prison, prostitution, early death. Rescue an orphan! Our volunteers
in Russia provide the arms and legs of Big Family's ministry to orphans. Churches in
Russia are contributing part of the expenses, but you can help by partnering with one
of our volunteer teams.
Our teams work mainly with older orphans, who will have little opportunity to be
adopted. We are not allowed to "preach" in orphanages, but volunteers are able to
talk about God in day-to-day conversations. Also, we have been allowed to hold
Christmas and Easter celebrations in orphanages, and talk about the true meaning of
these special days.
Sponsors support this ministry to orphans by contributing $10 (or more) per
month. You can donate online or through the mail. You will receive regular updates
on the ministry of your sponsored volunteer team, and may communicate with the
team about their work with the children.
All contributions go to Russia to help rescue orphans. Work is done by Christian
volunteers. A few examples of how Big Family helps orphans:
- "Life celebrations" (birthday parties);
- Christmas gifts for the children;
- Socks, shoes, underwear for children;
- Beds, sheets, pillows;
- Fruit for the children;
- Eye glasses for children;
- Special treats
- Lots of hugs!
- One-on-one counseling and friendship
