" Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.” Isaiah 58:12




Family life is an art, and like everything else in life it takes learning & perserverance. It is hard to imagine healthy relationships without understanding, respect, love & trust. But how do you gain all these things in relationships ?

Vision
To bring Biblical principles of family life to families in society and church.

Goal
To reach families with restoration and training by Biblical principles of family life. To create an educational and counseling-restoration center for families.

This is a Place

• For training and mobilizing people for family ministry.
• To prepare workers for reaching families in churches and missionaries for reaching non-Christian families in Ukraine and other countries.
• To develop programs assisting to conduct preventative activity in families in church and society.
• To conduct counseling-educational premarital programs.
• To conduct rehabilitation programs with families in crisis.
• To help families in need.

How we can serve you?
We can serve by assisting in setting up proven family and marriage programs that will impact your community and nation and offer marriage and family seminars at your location.

For Christian leaders, local pastors, professionals and family ministry lay-workers; we provide continuing education opportunities by offering a variety of seminars, workshops, and short-term courses. These workshops are designed to enhance your effectiveness and increase your ministry skills.

Statistics
The family problems in society are growing and as the result of dysfunctional families the children are escaping from home to the street. Divorce is very common almost every other family is falling apart. Young people simply live together without any understanding what family means.

What is most dramatic is that Christian families are not better examples. Divorce has become a part of Christian life too. We believe that God wants to stop this. We don't want to stand off on the side watching this increasing problem. God touched our heart through the book of (Isaiah 58:12)

Through these words we see God's challenge to answer problems and needs in families, working to rebuild what has been broken. God's principles of teaching in this area of human life brings much healing to the life of the family. This gives a hopeful founda

tion to the future life of families in Ukraine and post Soviet Union countries. It also serves the growth of the church and influence on all areas of society.

Why Restoration?

To provide counseling and training opportunities for families in crisis through 3-6 week rehabilitation program.
