Defender of the Fatherless: Shopping in Odessa

Reaching orphans in Ukraine

There are more than 120,000 orphans in Ukraine.

70% of the boys will enter a life of crime

60% of the girls will end up in prostitution

10% will commit suicide by age 18

Only 27% will find work

Our desire is to change these statistics one life at a time through a ministry whose focus is twofold;
1. A transitional ministry to incorporate orphanage graduates into the local church, further their education, and equip them to live on their own as responsible, Christ-following adults.

2. To establish lasting relationships with younger children still in the orphanage system through outreaches such as camps, Bible studies, and other special events.
