Mosfilmoskaya Soup Kitchen
We successfully consolidated both Soup Kitchens to Kuznetsky Most but continue to look for a new location near the Univesitet metro area of Moscow. While the clients are enjoying a wonderful upgrade in food quality and service, there are still some who have not been able to meet the transition. Pray for them as we try to reach them with our Produkti Pishkom program, and continue to look for an alternative location nearer to the former location. Thank you to all those who came to help this past Tuesday as we opened up.
Produkti Pishkom
We are trying to give our program Produkti Pishkom a jump start over these next few months. Diana Foster is going to take on a coordinating role. We are looking for people who can speak some Russian, or are willing to take Russian speakers with them, to visit homes of elderly needy Russians with a bag of groceries which is provided by MPC. You can sit and drink tea with them and minister to them by listening. You can think of it as a cross between meals on wheels and adopt a grandparent. Please contact Diana at family.foster@gmail.com take part in this very important ministry.
