YouthReach International focuses its efforts on 3 key regions within the countries of Ukraine and Russia. Orphanage and camp outreaches in these regions create first-touch ministry opportunities, introducing children to the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ and beginning mentoring relationships with in-country 12-3-1 Mentors. These mentoring opportunities are then continued in these key cities with continued frequent orphanage visits and gatherings, allowing social reunions and spiritual development. Youth centers will be opened to provide a safe place for orphans and orphanage graduates to enjoy recreation, mentoring, life skills training, and spiritual development opportunities.
YouthReach International invests in the 12-3-1 Mentors by providing two weekend retreats per year, focusing on spiritual and social development training, organizing regular orphanage outreaches and providing special opportunities for growth in their personal and spiritual lives. We also offer continued contact between our staff and the 12-3-1 Mentors, providing consistent accountability and support, encouragement, and prayers for their year-round work.
Partnerships with in-country ministries and orphanages are developed and expanded to allow further ministry opportunities focused on showing the orphans that they indeed matter to someone. Other partnerships are developed with business, educational, religious, and governmental organizations and individuals to provide access to groups of children, introduce us to new mentors, and deepen the effectiveness of the mission.
