August, 2008
now-Nov10: HELP CHANGE A CHILD'S LIFE FOREVER! Announcing the Russian Orphan Lighthouse Project: a unique opportunity to impact a child’s life for Christ and the future, with a cross-cultural experience for your family! The Lighthouse Project is seeking families willing to host a Russian orphan in their home from approximately November 1-10, 2008. During this time the children will participate in a Russian-language Vacation Bible School, receive a Russian Bible, enjoy family activities and attention not available in an orphanage, and hopefully meet a family wanting to adopt them. It is not required that host families be interested in adoption, as children are introduced to potential adoptive families during the trip. Families outside the Tulsa area are welcome to host. Available children are ages 7-14; there are single boys, girls, and sibling groups available. Children will fly from Moscow to Tulsa. The cost to host a single child is $1000 to cover part of the cost of visa, airfare, and train travel from the orphanage to Moscow . If you are interested, please contact Becky De Nooy at (616) 245-3216 or visit www.lhproject.com
