About Our Mission
The city of St. Petersburg is a land that needs the Hope of Jesus.
About Us
Our goal to reach this city for Jesus Christ
Since 2002 Sam Naylor has been in full-time Christian service in Russia. He is helping pastor a local church, working with teens in his community English club, organizing mission trips, and since 2011 he and his wife Yulia have been serving in 12 orphanages and homes for the disabled orphans. Together they have a passion to share the love and hope that is in Jesus Christ with the people of Russia, especially the children.
We have have served the children, youth and adults of Russia for the past 18 years.
Our Activity
What We Do
Deprived of religious freedom, the church in Russia suffered for generations. Few parents and grandparents alive today had the opportunity to hear the good news of the gospel. Today, despite greater freedom, children grow up without spiritual nurture. They are vulnerable and at risk of adopting the empty values of an increasingly materialistic culture.
English School
We engage in community English Language Clubs, expanding on a long term strategy of addressing the perceived needs of Russians (English language competency) while helping them discover their deeper need for spiritual reconciliation with God. Through the Clubs, we hosted our first exchange opportunity for Russian children to travel to the U.S. for church summer camp.

Church
We recognize that, while missionaries will play an important role, it will be Russian believers who build and strengthen the church in Russia. We partner with and include Russian believers in all our ministry endeavors.
Mission Trips
We host exchange and mission trips where American believers can serve and share their faith. We believe this is an invaluable investment in deepening the faith and world-view of American youth, and it is a joy to witness the enthusiasm and effectiveness of their relationship building!
Summer Camps
We participate in summer camps, which offer a safe and fun place for retreat where young people can learn, grow, and hear the gospel. We often couple these camps with large evangelism events in nearby towns.
