Information & Testimonies — Light to the World Ministries

Sponsor the Gospel in Russia

When you sponsor Light to the World Christian Academy, you give students much more than an education. Less than 1% of all Russians have received Christ as Lord. For many of these students, attending LTTW will be the first time they have heard the good news - that God loves them enough to offer the free gift of salvation to them. By sponsoring LTTW with a minimum commitment of $40 a month, you will have the opportunity to correspond with a student and their family by mail, and you could even take a trip to Kostroma to visit them!

To sign up or for more information on how you can sponsor Light to the World Christian Academy
and correspond with a student, please email info@mission2russia.org or click here to begin sponsoring a student today!

You can still give toward the Academy and support staff and students even if you can’t sponsor on a monthly basis.

All funds given toward the LTTW Sponsorship purpose are sent to the school. Donate a one time payment via PayPal HERE.

Student and Sponsor Testimonies •

Our church family here at Havana Church of Christ is thankful for the opportunity to sponsor a student in Russia through Light to the World. To us, this is not just about helping with education, but about sharing the love and hope of Jesus in a place where so few have heard the gospel.

There really isn’t a better feeling than knowing that our support helps shine the light of Christ into the heart of a child and their family. We count it a blessing to play even a small part in God’s kingdom work. This partnership really is a way to live out the Great Commission, sharing the good news of free salvation and trusting that God will use this sponsorship to plant seeds of faith and bring glory to His name.

My son chose a student from Light to the World Academy when we were at a Missionary Convention. He decided on Alex, Sasha, because his birthday was one day away from our sons. We kept up in letters, cards, and packages his entire schooling. That began 20 years ago. We kept in touch with him through Facebook when he graduated, and began sponsoring another student.

One day, Sasha, our first student now in University, sent me a picture. It was hard to see what was on the desk, so I asked him. He told me they were all the letters and cards we had sent while he was in school. Being a sponsor, a friend from far away, was so important to him, and I wish I had known how much those letters meant. We think we are sending a letter. What we are actually sending is love in words.

We are now on our third sponsored child. We love making a difference in helping a child learn, but also letting them know about our life halfway across the world and that Jesus is in the little words of every letter I send.

"Sponsors" is a beautiful, ethereal, and special word. But it's not just the sound. Sponsors are one of the most important parts of our academy's student experience. For many, they're their only American friends. They also help them learn about American culture, traditions, and customs. My sponsor's name is Dan Stoll; he's incredibly cool, and I enjoy talking to him. I want to thank him so much! (Darina Mayantseva, Grade 6)

Sponsor is a very unusual word. But it's not just about the sound. Sponsors are people who, for many, are the only friends from America. My sponsors are people from the Church. They are very kind and sweet. I love them very much! (Dasha Potepalova, Grade 6)

Sponsor is a man who gives money or things to help with projects. For me sponsor is not just your supporter with money but a person who believes in you. In our school sponsors play an important role: they pay a part of our tuition fees. I think students and sponsors working together get much success. Sponsors are cool helpers and supporters, they are kind to us. (Maya Abdurakhmanova, Grade 6)

What does the word sponsor mean to me?

A sponsor is a person who supports me and helps me develop. He invests resources and believes in my ideas. Thanks to the sponsor, I can achieve my goals more easily. He can always be supportive and inspiring in difficult moments. For me, a sponsor is an important helper on the way to success. (Katya Yegorova, Grade 6)
