Lighthouse Project

We explored some of the frightening statistics surrounding Russian orphans last week. As part of our comprehensive plans to address the needs of orphans wherever they may be, we have incorporated a "front line" response to the single greatest need of all-- finding a "forever" home.

Every year several thousand American families travel to Russia in search of their child. The chances an orphan will be adopted in that scenario are 1 in 3,000,000. In any given year, a child's chances are 0.083%-- less than a tenth of a 1% chance. The Lighthouse Project, dramatically increases a child's odds of finding a home by bringing the child to America for a visit.

70%-- 7 in 10 children who are part of the Russian Orphan Lighthouse Project will be adopted!

A group of families interested in adopting, a busy week at church, 10 days, and $1,000 are the keys to changing the lives and futures of these children in a lasting way.

If you or your church are interested in hosting a group of 10-15 children, the 728b Foundation will help you integrate a trip into your existing church schedule, provide an avenue for fund raising, and set up a church coordinator in charge of gathering potential adoptive families.

Our other projects facilitate the medical, nutritional, educational, and financial needs of orphans and entire regions in developing and under-served nations; but loving family environments are the ideal situation-- they're just not "the norm" for the 143 million orphans living in the world right now.

Please join us in changing the world one child at a time!
