Over 50 students decided not to stay at home for their summer break, but to go across the ocean and meet children who are abandoned, abused and orphaned.

Throughout the summer, SunErgos hosted eight camps with the help of six Ministry teams and Interns from USA and Canada.

Culture and language differences did not stop these students from pouring all they had into the lives of these children and teens.

Tears were flowing, arms wrapping tightly and words - "will you come back?"  Hard goodbyes for both sides...

These students took a leap of faith and answered God's call to come and serve in Russia to the fatherless.  Lives were changed forever.

Here is a Glimpse

into their LIVES...

my father is in prison for killing someone and my mother drinks to forget everything and everyone...

my step father raped me when I was a child and my mother did not stop it...she was too high on drugs...

my parents died, I was shipped to grandma's...soon grandma died...then my aunt and uncle took me in. After a year, they grew tired of me and to my shock they just dropped me off at an orphanage and left...  what did I do wrong?

I know that people stare at me as I am wheeled around the city in a wheelchair... I can't go anywhere by myself, not even to the bathroom... how I wish I had legs that worked...

my uncle gave me TB... now I'm at a hospital for 4 months... my mom doesn't care, she just left me and found a new boyfriend...

why should I care about a God who just looked on while I was raped, abused and left at the orphanage...
