Prayer and Preparations for Project Hope

Give now are receive our 2010 wall calendar

Christians in Russia and Ukraine are making final preparations for Project Hope: The Great Gift Exchange. Young Next Generation Christians in Russia and parts of Ukraine are now filling gift boxers with Christmas presents containing everything from art supplies to small toys. Each gift also includes a children’s Bible and/or Christian literature geared for kids.

Pray for the outreach efforts, that many children and families in need will discover the truth of the gospel and the love of Jesus Christ.

If you haven’t already done so, it’s not too late to give to Project Hope and help bring the good news of Jesus to a child. Make your gift today—it’s one gift that won’t be returned and will last forever.

Give a gift to Russian Ministries now, and we will send you our beautiful 2010 wall calendar (while supplies last).

Russia and other nations discuss nuclear arms, hoping for a more stable world.

A country mourns when a fire roars through a club in the city of Perm and 113 people are killed in the blaze.

A bomb explodes in a busy marketplace in Grozny, Chechnya.

And every night, in large urban cities in Russia and Ukraine, four-five million children and teenagers sleep on the streets.

Where is the peace, the hope for Russia and the other countries of the former Soviet Union this Christmas?

This year, the hope of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, will come for 50,000 orphans, street kids and needy children and their families as hundreds of young Next Generation Christian leaders give out Christmas gifts, filled with small presents and a children’s Bible or Christian literature.

These gifts of hope and peace have helped build bridges between young Christian leaders from Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia and Muslim families in Grozny, Chechnya in past Christmases—and will again this year through Project Hope: The Great Gift Exchange.

After clearing all the border checks in North Ossetia, Ingushetia and Chechnya, the team of young Christian leaders enjoyed re-connecting with children they knew from Russian Ministries’ evangelistic summer camp in Grozny as well as meeting new children and their parents.

“The parents express joy and gratitude that we don’t forget them,” explains one of Russian Ministries’ young Christian leaders, “and that we come to show them our love and share in the fate of the Chechen nation, which has experienced the horrors of a decade of war, and the trauma still remains in the minds, souls and hearts of the children and adults.”

A gift to Project Hope: The Great Gift Exchange will help Russian Ministries’ young Next Generation Christian leaders bring the hope and peace of Jesus to Russia’s hurting and needy children this Christmas.
