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!
