Drug Rehab House

    

    The Drug Rehab House is situated about 30 mins north

    of Moscow accessible only by car. The Metro does not

    extend that far north. It is in a small "Dacha"  which means

    it's a primitive cabin used in the summer time. This Dacha

    has been rented for $120 month and normally would house

    one family. There are 12 men crammed into two bedrooms

    and sleeping in their sleeping bags on the floor in the living

    room. They take their meals down a ladder in the very cramped        

    basement. They share the "outhouse" that is about 50 yards

    away. It is usually below freezing in Moscow during the winter

    and of course there is no heat in the breezy outhouse. Can you

    picture how cold it is getting out of the house, walking in the

    freezing weather to the outhouse and then feeling the numbing

    cold while there and then back again?

     

    The goal is to build a modern sleeping quarters for them, near

    the new church building we hope to build. This will allow the

    men and women to attend seminary and church and learn skills

    that will help them as they grow in God. They are so thankful

    for the Drug Rehab Center and the care that the Director, Misha

    and the others provide. Most meals are potatoes, vegetables,

    occasional meat and bread. They spend most of their day working

    in the neighborhood doing jobs to help support the center. Misha

    and his wife just had their first baby, and we were able to help them

    buy diapers and clothes. The need is ongoing both for the Drug Rehab

    Center and for the Director and his family.

 

    There are countless others on the streets of Moscow, with no place

    to go. Alcoholism is rampant and the needs are great. We can make

    a big difference as we help Misha and his ministry.
