History of the Russia Initiative Program.
Programs The programs we support in Russia are the
following:
- The Partner
Church Program. Formerly, HUMC was partnered with
the Gospel Light Methodist
Church, a congregation which was founded in 1997, but has
since disbanded. We are currently exploring partnership with another
congregation, a new one in Smolensk. This new one hasn't been
authorized by the Bishop yet, but is slated to be officialized soon.
HUMC has some experience with an orphanage (the "Dubrovinskaya Boarding
School" in Smolensk, that we and
other congregations in NJ supported in the past. (See Frieda Hamer's
report (below) on her work in that orphanage in 1999.)
- Russia
United Methodist Theological
Seminary, a project
of United Methodist
Missions.
