Program accomplishments
- Russia - Due to the continued conflict and war in which Russia was involved, we did not have any missionary travels in 2025, instead we provided funds as necessary to continue our usual activities. In Kamchatka we continued the support of the aged-out orphan children that we have supported for over 27 years. In Vladivostok we supported the local pastors and churches and provided much needed funds for supplies to go to orphanages, rehab centers and nursing homes as well as providing support for programs with the poor and lower social economic people, of which there are many these days.Expenses $35,220 · grants $35,220
- Kenya - In 2025 the country remains in turmoil, but we did send two missionaries to assess and assist in the activities of our interim missionary that lives there full time. Funds were given throughout the year for support of staff of the Bible teaching facility and for continued construction of such. Funds were used to feed children and provide basic school supplies and teaching materials.Expenses $41,911 · grants $31,000
- Belarus / Nuteki - In 2025 we sent one missionary to assess and assist in the Steiger Missionary School through cooperation of the Belarus /Nuteki members. Funds were provided in support of this month-long teaching seminar held in St, Petersburg. Funds were also used for pastoral support. The Belarus / Nuteki group ministered with music and street events for thousands of youths in Russian speaking countries during 2025.Expenses $5,266 · grants $3,000
