Opportunities to Get Involved

Comfort Foundation needs your support to minister to Russian orphans and underprivileged children. Here are some ways you can get involved with this ministry.

Pray...

• Pray for the children we come in contact with at the orphanages and shelters.
• Pray for the protection of the health of the Russian staff and their families as they work in a very stressful environment.
• Pray for more Russian volunteers to give their time and resources.

Financial Donations...

• Your generous gift will provide our Russian staff members with monthly salaries and operating expenses so that they may continue to impact the lives of over 300 children each week. It will also help provide basic medical and physical needs for the children they serve.
• Please help us support these ministries by donating online here or sending your tax-deductible pledge or one-time gift to the address below.
• Preserve capital gains and reduce tax liability via a direct stock donation.

A trip to an orphanage in Russia is heart wrenching. The sheer number of children and teens wanting individual attention is overwhelming. There is a famine of appropriate touch. Visiting groups help our Russian staff touch children spiritually, physically and emotionally. The value of these groups to the ministry is priceless.
