Dear friends,<\/p>

<\/p>

My name is David Slobodenko.<\/p>

<\/p>

For more than 30 years, my family has been serving in Russia, working with low-income families and youth from orphanages. This ministry has become an integral part of our lives, and we see how God changes people’s destinies, giving them hope and a future.<\/p>

<\/p>

Every year, we hold a tent camp on the shore of a lake, where young people from different regions of Russia gather. This year, we are planning to host another youth festival, expecting around 100 participants. Most of them are young people who have never heard the Gospel and do not attend church, so this project has special evangelistic significance.<\/p>

<\/p>

We also cooperate with local churches so that after returning home, participants can continue fellowship with Christians and ministers who will support their spiritual growth.<\/p>

<\/p>

Due to the current political situation, many people in Russia today are especially open to the Gospel. We are seeing the fruit of ministry like never before. However, unfortunately, in recent years many missionaries have left the country, and support from abroad has decreased—many are either afraid or do not see the need to evangelize in central Russia.<\/p>

<\/p>

Nevertheless, we believe that God continues to work among every nation.<\/p>

<\/p>

From July 6 to July 12, in the Ryazan region, we are planning to carry out this evangelistic project. We sincerely ask you to support us in prayer, and if you have the opportunity, to become part of this ministry financially—we would be very grateful.<\/p>

<\/p>

The cost of this project today is $25,000.<\/p>

Each year, my family raises half of this budget. Since my brothers and father in Russia have their own businesses, we try to carry out this work with our own resources, but in recent years everything has become more expensive, and our equipment has become outdated. Therefore, we are in need of updating our inventory, tents, kitchen equipment, etc.<\/p>

<\/p>

Most of the funds go toward food, purchasing spiritual literature, and Bibles for each participant, since most of the youth simply do not have the Word of God in their homes. We also help the young people travel to our camp from different parts of Russia.<\/p>

<\/p>

Your support will help us bring the Good News to those who have never heard it before.<\/p>

<\/p>

We cooperate with a non-profit organization through which you can make your donation. In the “fund” field, please indicate “Russian Kids Camps.”<\/p>
