Did you know that the Russian people celebrate Christmas on January 7th? So, if you enter a home in Russia right now, you might still see a Christmas tree still standing decorated and in lights. Right after the Christmas celebration, our Novgorod Director, Marina, made sure the kids in the only unofficial orphanage in Novgorod really knew the meaning of Christmas. Once again there was singing, dancing, sharing the Nativity story and giving out presents!  This orphanage is divided into three sections: preschoolers, elementary and High School.  Each group of kids received their presents and had a celebration of their … Continue reading →

Once again the TB Children Center in Novgorod was busy this past December with getting ready to show their friends the story of Jesus’ birth!  So exciting to see the kids and teens acting out the Christmas Story!

This past summer, we had 3 summer camps at this Transit Center.  Three teams poured so much love and care unto these kids! There was so much … Continue reading →

Over 30 students decided not to stay at home for their summer break, but to go across the ocean and meet children who are abandoned, abused and orphaned. For the past two months SunErgos hosted five camps with the help of four Ministry teams from USA and Canada. Culture and language differences did not stop these students from pouring all they had into the lives of these children and teens. Tears were flowing, arms wrapping tightly and words – “will you come back?” Hard goodbyes for both sides… These students took a leap of faith and answered God’s call to … Continue reading →
