Central Asia (MNN) ― Slavic Gospel Association is excited to see the growth in a recent project in Central Asia.
A North American partner helped provide funding for a new orphanage. The picture is dismal for many children in these orphanages. Some are abandoned, homeless, or their parents have been imprisoned. For others, difficult economic situations force parents to bring their children to an orphanage with the hopes of being able to take them back again sometime in the future.
Because of their approach with the children, a number of state-run orphanages are allowing local missionaries and church workers to come in and share Christ's love. The evangelical churches SGA serves want to expand this ministry to reach even more children.
Through this new Orphans Reborn location, workers from a local evangelical church will have an opportunity to work with disabled children. Through regular visits, the teams give them Bibles, provide emergency food and clothing, and disciple those who choose to follow the Lord.
As a result, Christians forge new friendships and share the Gospel with the children. As the community sees this, it helps build more evangelistic bridges.
SGA offers a sponsorship program to help connect other believers with these children. $30 enables Orphans Reborn to reach one child for a whole year. Each child will receive a children's Bible and study materials, prizes for progress in the program, as well as supplemental humanitarian aid when possible. The church workers will also receive teaching aids and supplies to help them in their discipleship of the children, ongoing leadership training, transportation to and from the orphanages and other necessary items.
