Every year in Russia, another 120,000 children find themselves in orphanages. Not all are without parents. The tough economy, disintegrating morality and too much alcohol take their toll. Parents give up and abandon their children.
“A mother/father unable or unwilling to care for their child/children often leave their Podkidysh* (*translated one that is left at the door). Children are literally left at the orphanage entrance . . . They go to sleep without hope.”
Russian Missions brings the love of Christ to these left-at-the-door children, helping to meet their physical and emotional needs.
Lord, we don’t understand the pain of the children left at the door or the desperation of the parents who leave them. Our hearts break for both parent and child. Shelter them with your love. Restore their broken souls.
