  Our ministry teams are the only adult friends or family for many of the children.  These faithful volunteers need our financial help to:
  • Give children special treats like fruit, tea, and cake when they visit; 
  • Provide games, craft, and sports items for orphanages;
  • Supply special medicines and vitamins for children;
  • Celebrate children’s birthdays;
  • Give clothing items like socks and underwear.

   The need to help orphans in Russia is great:  over 3 million orphans and children at risk. Without help, an orphan’s future is bleak: prison, violent death, drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, suicide.

As a partner for the orphanage ministry team, you will receive:
  • News about the team you are partnering with (photos, etc.)
  • Information about the orphanage you are helping
  • Photos and occasional videos about the children and ministry to the children.
  • Information about how you can send cards, letters, small gifts to children if you wish.

We need your help in the year ahead… will you join with us?

You can start with a monthly donation of as little as $5.  A donation of just $15 per month provides full funding of ministry to one child.  If you decide to discontinue your partnership at any time, for any reason, you may do so. 

You can donate securely online or through the mail, using your credit card, debit card, bank transfer, or check.  Just click on the GO TO button to go to our donation page.


We are praying that YOU will join with us in 2017!

I need your help! Please partner with me to build a new Camp Grace: a Christian refuge for orphans and children at risk!


Hello, I am Natasha Kirillova of Help for Children Charity.  I need your help!
For more than 20 years, Camp Grace has been a haven for orphans and moms who are desperate to keep their children from going into orphanages in Russia.
    Praise God!  Land has been purchased for the new Camp Grace.  Now, I need partners for building a camp house on the land.
   Can you help...?
  • Donate $20 to provide one square foot of the building!
  • Buy a window and window frame: Donate $85 (18 windows needed).
  • Buy a door and door frame: Donate $70 (17 doors needed).
  • Provide the foundation for the building: Donate $2800.
  • Provide one complete room for the building: Donate $3000.
  • Make a donation of any size to help us build the new Camp Grace.
  • You can also donate with a check, which can be mailed to:
              BIG FAMILY MISSION
              5 East Penn St., P.O. Box 287
              Lyons, PA 19536
             
  • Pray for the future of Camp Grace and all who will be blessed at the new camp!

    
We speak of our little summer camp as a “Christian island of happiness and Christ’s love” in the midst of a challenging world.
    For all the children, it has never been just a drop of fresh air, but a positive surrounding, where they feel loved and accepted by the leaders of the camps. They develop friendship with new people and learn to live and spend time in an atmosphere free of alcohol or drugs. The children live in a Christian family example—with Bible studies and prayer.
     All those years life at the summer village house brought a lot of fruits into the life of the orphans that we help.  The camp became a very important and stable part of our ministry. We do not want to stop. We want to be able to minister to more orphans and their families in need! We want it to become a base for different Christian ministries, our guests, to come and share the love of God with the people who search for it so much!
     Will you join us in prayer for continuation of our summer camp… with a new location and a new name? Will you help us establish Camp Grace?
     Thank you for your consideration and prayers!

UPDATE: land for this project has been purchased.  Praise God! We still need donations to help with building a small camp building. Also looking for a mission team that would be willing to help with the project!


     Over the past 21 years, our summer camp held in a rented cabin at Bolshevo has changed the lives of many orphans and their families.
    Looking to the summer of 2017, we are in desperate need to find a new location for the camp.  The small cabin we rented in Bolshevo is no longer available.
Christian island of happiness!
    Will you join us in prayer and also consider helping us to buy a piece of land for the summer camp?  We have found a suitable piece of land, available now for $16,000. For our small ministry, that is a huge sum… and it can only happen with lots of prayer and through the grace of God.

SJASSTROJ VISIT (report by Natasha Kirillova)
     We invite you to see several pictures from our last trip to Sjjastroj, where we have children from different orphanages who study to get a profession and live at the hostel.     

At the meeting we talked about the “dream” and what you can do to make your dream come true. We encouraged children to make big goals in life and move towards your goal no matter what past you have! Orphans have the same dreams as many children of their age – to have a good job, to buy a car. 
     But their biggest dream is to have a better life than their parents had.
     We used the video of Nick Vuichich as an example of God’s plan in the life of a person. Children have never heard about this brave man and got very encouraged by his message!
     Many children in Sjasstroj we know from last year, but we have a lot of new children too. The whole group got presents at the end of our meeting – the necessary things for their everyday life; shoes, clothes, and snacks. 
     The Luga graduates didn’t want to let us go, so we spent some time at their hostel and we were happy to see that their conditions are slowly changing for better – in few rooms repairs were made during the summer time.
     Children send their love to each one of you and are ready for the new school year meetings with us!

Thank you for helping orphans’ 
dreams come true! 

     Orphans from Siversky for a long time had a dream to have a new guitar to be able to learn to play.  Their teacher of music is a pastor of small local church. Thank you for providing money for the new guitar! Let it be used for the glory of God!

     Stas, pastor of the church, writes:

     “My family, church and children from the orphanage are thankful from all our heart for the new instrument! After we received the money, we went  to the store and with great pleasure chose and bought the guitar that we needed so much.  
     Thank you so much from all of us for this big income into talents development and ministry to the Lord! May God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.       
     You are welcome to visit us, we are praying for you, and here I enclose few pictures of Siversky children.” 




May God bless you for all you are doing for the orphans!

40 orphans hope to attend summer church camp this year: would you like to help? Rescue one child!


By Marla Summers, Big Family Mission Volunteer

Your donation of $50 to sponsor a Russian orphan at church camp can change a child's life forever! Thank you for considering an investment into the life of one of God's special children!

    
This year, the New Generation Church at Gatchina has the wonderful opportunity to provide a church camp for 40 children from a Russian orphanage.  Nadya Stagneeva and her team at the church are asking for donations to provide food for the children during the camp.  Your donation of just $50 provides food for one child for the entire camp!!!

 Here's a description of some of the past church camps... your donation of just $50 can change the life of one orphan FOREVER!!!

 *********************************************************************

 Last year, eleven children from Luga orphanage spent two weeks at a summer camp run by New Generation Church at Gatchina, located just south of Petersburg, Russia. According to Natasha Kirillova, director of Help for Children, the camp was a, “special time for the orphans to feel God’s love and care.” The entire camp consisted of around 150 people, allowing the orphans to spend the weeks surrounded by other families and the love poured on them by the adults, both experiences they never would have at Luga.

 The children played games with their new friends, made skits, went on boat rides, learned to bake cakes, went swimming, and competed in art and sport competitions. For the good-bye party at the end of the week, camp leaders went into town and purchased pretty new clothes for the children, who were completely amazed that they could take their new outfits home with them to the orphanage.

Some of the children, especially the older girls, were very closed to people at first. Yet by the end of their stay, no one wanted to leave. One boy said that he had never met so many kind people in his life.
Every day the children went to two services to worship and pray together with the other families.  Natasha considers that the most exciting part of all the camps was “to see how children grow in the knowledge of the Lord.” Two boys from Luga, Denis and Anton, were baptized during the course of the camp.

This year, more children from Luga are looking for partners to sponsor them in attending the camp. They will be divided into small groups and be placed among the children from other families, which will be very beneficial for them as they will experience community in a healthy Christian atmosphere and build relationships with people outside their orphanage. They will be encouraged and loved upon by the caring adults staying at the camp with them.

Every day, there will be a worship meeting to foster spiritual growth and fellowship. Natasha views the time as “ice breaking for their souls.” At the end of the stay will be a final party including the performance of Christian skits.

 “Please pray for our meetings with all our children and graduates that we minister to,” says Natasha, “as we plan to have three large meetings with them before the end of school.” There will also be baptisms available for those who feel called.

If you think that God might have you do something meaningful with your money this summer, this
just may be the opportunity for you. Big Family is looking for partners to sponsor children from Luga in attending this camp, which makes an immense impact in the lives of these orphans.

Natasha is very grateful for those who donate for this project:  “Thank you for investing into the lives of children who are God’s special kids!”  She prays that God will bring miracles into the lives of the sponsors, just as He is doing through them in the lives of the children.


Just click on the GIVE button to donate to help 40 orphan children attend the summer church camp this summer.  A donation of $50 provides full sponsorship of one child.  Donations of any amount are most welcome!  Thank you for considering this investment into the lives of God's special children in Russia!

 A few photos from a past mission trip with Karen...
Steve from USA with Luga boys
We participated in our family values lesson, shared about their life as a family, encouraged kids that no matter where their life started the future can be positive. 

All 4 days of their stay was full of interesting events – craft lesson where everybody made gifts to the children who are in the hospitals, outing to St. Petersburg when children played 4 hours in the amusement park, two wonderful days of week-end with Biblical stories, fellowship and soccer. Attention, care and love were so touching. 
New friends: Natasha, Luga, and Tanya, USA
Children found new friends, they had people who cared and listened to their problems, who accepted them the way they are! The four days became unforgettable. 

There was a lot of fun but a lot of tears when it was time to say good-bye!
