Time is the Enemy

Anti-Jewish slogans and graffiti are now common throughout the former Soviet states. Public billboards calling for Russia to be cleansed of the Jews are seen in many cities. People have been beaten in their own apartments and some have even been killed for just being a Jew.

The greatest enemy is time. It is only a matter of time before the doors for immigration slam shut leaving these precious people's lives hanging in the balance. There is no time to waste. We must get them out now while we can!

Mission Opportunities – Father's House

"Father's House was started to help children find their way in this life and get out of their miserable life on the streets. We show them that there is something better than life on the street, sin, alcohol, drugs and stuff like that. We show them Jesus and His big love for them. We want them to know that with Him they have a bright future." Artushenko Anatoliy, Coordinator of Ezra's Children's Work

From a short term Ezra mission trip in April 2007: After arrival at the Kiev airport, we were transported by van to The Father’s House Charity Foundation, a ministry supported by Ezra International. We were given a presentation of The Father’s House ministry to the street children of Kiev (over 5,000) and toured the facilities. We met with Dr. Roman Korniyko, president of Father’s House. He had been a doctor in Kiev, and started helping street kids, an activity that developed into a full time ministry of providing a house, food and schooling for those they can handle, and who want it. As he spoke in the Ukrainian language, Ezra's Anya interpreted for him.
