This is the reason SGA exists, to support Missionary Pastors and those ministering to children. Currently we have been supporting 32 in their various ministries.

A key aspect of reaching the former Soviet world with the Gospel is the planting of Bible-preaching churches. Dedicated and faithful men often pastor several churches in their area.

Next to Missionary Pastors this is our second greatest involvement.  It covers many of the projects we partner with – in particular widows, orphans and those with addictions.

Other Ministries

Orphans Homes

Orphan Homes is a priority area that SGA New Zealand is involved with. These homes are as far apart as Vladivostok on the eastern coast of Siberia to Ukraine in the west and south to Uzbekistan.

We also help with special needs such as upgrading bathrooms and toilets which have not been modernized since they were built and now found in a shocking state. Funds are provided to assist local churches take Christian programmes and Bibles to these precious children. The opportunities are enormous as there are thousands of orphaned and abandoned children hungry for the Love of the Heavenly Father shown through Jesus. This is possible through the Orphans Reborn Programme. Even Orphan Home Directors and caregivers are won for the Lord as they see Church workers lovingly give individual attention, telling children about the Father’s love. Hundreds of these children respond as they hear stories presented from the Bible.

Christmas for Orphans

This ministry provides individuals with the opportunity to help Bible preaching Russian churches reach out at Christmas time to lonely forgotten children living in orphanages and children’s homes. Where possible local churches bring the orphans to the church for a Christmas programme, but if this is not possible Christmas is celebrated at the orphanage. After Christmas stories and singing, each child receives their own gift, candy and Christian literature including a Bible of their own. This has a powerful impact on children as they hear of the Saviour who came for them, and who knows and loves them.

Summer Camps

This is a wonderful opportunity as the local churches reach out to the underprivileged children in the orphan homes and communities in which they live. Thousands of young lives are presented with the opportunity of knowing Jesus as their personal Saviour.

Children’s Ministries

Sunday schools, Bible in schools, tent ministries, hospital visitation and other opportunities are taken as workers reach out in love to the children in these lands.

We currently support teams in 7 countries.

Christian Literature and Bibles

The availability of Bibles and Christian Literature including ‘The Reason Why’ and Children’s literature are foundational to the equipping of the saints for the ministry of the church. For many years, SGA has been involved in the translation, printing and distribution of doctrinally sound literature
