Stories from the Field

Our partners at Children of the Street Feeding and Tutoring Program say:

“For more than 10 years, we have provided hot meals, tutoring, mentoring, and Bible lessons to children from impoverished families in the community. The main goal of our project is to reach as many children as possible who suffer by feeding, supporting, and telling them about the best friend who is always with us to provide comfort—Our loving God. The program’s success is that as children grow up, they still come to the church and attend youth ministry. Former program participants continue to call and write and ask for advice.”

More About Children of the Street
Children of the Street provides a safe environment for the poorest children in the community at the local church in Grigoriopol, Transnistria. Young people in the community know they can go there after school to receive a fresh, hot meal and tutoring. While this program provides practical help meeting necessities like food, the Children of the Street team wants to show these kids the link between faith and life. Program mentors are available to help tutor children in their studies, provide a listening ear, and help give Biblically-based wisdom and guidance for everyday experiences. As a group, they study the Bible daily, sing songs, memorize Bible verses, and enjoy fun activities like sports, crafts, and special outings.
