Objective: To minister to the needs of thousands of needy children in the CIS, enabling them to receive spiritual and material support through local churches who care for the well-being of children.
Children are the greatest assets of our society. In the CIS, millions are living in very difficult circumstances due to different social problems affecting the society. They are the most vulnerable victims of violence, drugs, and alcoholism. In each one of the churches, we minister to dozens of children coming from destroyed families that need love and understanding but most importantly, they need Jesus in their hearts. Through children, we also reach the hearts of their parents. We believe that children have a very special value in the Kingdom of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ showed the value of children to his disciples after their discussion about who would be the most important in the Kingdom of Heaven and put a child as a model of what is necessary to enter His kingdom. He also pointed to children as the owners of Heaven (Matthew 18:1-5; 19:13-14). NCM CIS is fully committed to reach and minister to millions of children throughout the former Soviet Union. Funds will be used to provide food, education, health care, prevention, advocacy, and discipleship activities. Children are long-term investments with short-term results.
PROGRESS REPORT:
More than 600 kids are directly benefiting from our Kids Clubs ministries throughout the CIS. In our ministries, children are not only receiving spiritual support but also health, nutritional, educational, and preventive support. Through the Kids Clubs, many children have encountered love and a family to come to and share their lives and more importantly, a good number of them have found Jesus.
