You may designate your gifts for humanitarian aid; for the summer, autumn, or winter projects; for our Russian humanitarian foundation, Friendship Bridges; or for our General Fund so we are able continue here in America to do the work God has given us in Russia.
Autumn Program

In October, teams of volunteers who have a heart for the elderly go with us to share the Gospel with Russia’s forgotten older folks. Life is very bleak for them for not only have their families abandoned them, but their pensions do not even come close to covering their basic needs. As we listen to their stories and share our lives in return, we show them the love of Jesus. We also provide ongoing humanitarian assistance to these precious ones through Bridges of Friendship. What an awesome time of ministry this has become! You can support this outreach by designating a gift on the memo of your check.
Winter Program

Each February RBI takes teams of volunteers to orphanages in the St. Petersburg region for 10 day mission trips. There are over 20 orphanages and baby homes that have opened their doors to us. While there we share our lives with the children and are often able to reconnect with orphans we shared God’s love with in the summer. We provide ongoing, vital humanitarian aid to these homes through our Russian foundation, Bridges of Friendship. You can contribute to this outreach to Russian orphans through a designated gift.
Summer Program

We mobilize, deploy and train short-term mission teams to spend two weeks in the former Communist Pioneer Youth Camps in the St Petersburg region. Over the past decade thousands of lives have been touched by the power of the Gospel as it is shared and lived out by our volunteer teams. God has opened doors and opportunities through this camp ministry that are astounding!

Hundreds of orphans attend these camps each summer. We are committed to provide the clothing, medicine and school supplies they so desperately need. We work to minister to the whole person. Every child who wants a Bible will get one! You can contribute to this outreach by designating your gift to the summer outreach.
Russian Foundation...Bridges of Friendship

Our Russian Foundation provides humanitarian aid year-round to needy children and adults in the St. Petersburg region. Friendship feeds 200 very needy elderly Russians every month. It provides diapers and medicine for several baby orphanages and other crucial humanitarian aid to numerous other regular orphanages. To run the foundation with its three full-time staff, cover costs for office, storage and humanitarian assistance costs $30,000.00 per year. You can designate gifts to support this 100% Russian led and administered ministry arm of RBI.
