It also means that it’s time to start thinking about providing Christmas gifts to all of the children in our orphanages in the Vladimir, Khabarovsk & Bangalore regions.

Our Orphan Gift Bank program is an easy way to help raise the money for buying the gifts in Russia and India.

Ask for a bank (like the one on the left) and fill it with change. Ask your friends & Family. Take it to school or work. Pass out banks to your neighbors.

To request a bank email cathy@boazproject.org

Every penny helps add up to hundreds of presents. And every present helps the children in our orphanages feel unique and loved by our Lord!

You can also give online. Visit www.boazproject.org and click donate.
