Ylena and her husband have been serving the children in their little village of Plavsk just south of Moscow for years. Many come from broken homes, extreme poverty, and for some it is their only consistent source of care. Today there are at least 72 children coming each week, and the tiny home is no longer large enough to accommodate them. So last year a new foundation was laid in preparation for an extension that will provide the room and facilities for their vital ministry  to continue and grow. It was a step of faith built on hope for what God would do. He has laid the foundation not only physically but spiritually through the dedication of our brothers and sister in Plavsk, and when He begins a good work He is faithful to complete it. Will you join us?

There is still so much that needs to be done. The plans for the new Hope Center include a large extension to the existing building, a development for vegetable gardens, and a playground. It will allow Ylena and her husband, among others, to provide daily care for each child.

Covid19 in Russia

Due to Covid19, Russia has instituted a countrywide lock down and the economy has taken a hard hit. Many people have lost their jobs and are facing even more uncertainty. At risk children need care and support now more than ever.

Because of this, the construction schedule has been pushed further out to the end of the summer, however we are confident that God will provide the remaining resources to complete the building in His timing.
