Scattered across Russia and in Odessa, Ukraine, our shelters replicate a healthy family home. Children arrive having been subjected to alcoholic, drug-addicted, and/or abusive families. They need love, compassion, and a place to feel safe. This ministry began with our teams feeding children living on the streets; now, the police and child care authorities support our work by bringing children to us. Where possible, family restoration is the objective. Our shelter homes are available for emergency or long-term care.

In this Christian environment, children flourish, school attendance increases, physical health improves, and the long-term children have an opportunity to explore personal interests and activities.

In Russia, there is a need for facilities where mothers can attend drug and alcohol rehabilitation while living and caring for their children. The recommended one-year program allows time for change; long-term success is often greater when families are connected. Our professional teams cultivate an environment that combines practical, social, and spiritual focus that offers a new way to live. Unaddressed needs or inept life skills are considered: healthcare, learning difficulties, psychological burdens, parenting, or household skills. Critical help is also provided in arranging identification documents, addressing legal issues, education, employment, and a place to live after rehabilitation.

Our homes provide a Christ-centered focus and are places of incredible transformation for both mothers and children.

Domestic violence is a grave problem in Eastern Europe. In Russia, our safe homes have helped hundreds of mothers and their children in emergency situations. Abuse isolates women from friends and family, leaving them vulnerable and alone. Our safe homes provide the immediate care and resources needed, a secure place to stay, clothing, food, and medical care. Attention is given to these women and children's emotional and spiritual well-being; they are often left with scars deeper than their skin. While the family is with us, Mission Possible supports them in preparing for their future, employment, school, governmental assistance, and securing housing.

A Mission Possible safe house is a place of refuge, peace and recovery, and a door to a new life.
