Celebrate 20 Years!
Comfort Foundation Russia is celebrating 20 years of ministry and you're invited to join us as we honor our staff and celebrate this wonderful milestone in Russia from October 5-14, 2018! If you've never had a chance to visit Comfort Foundation in Vologda and in Cherepovets, this is your chance to see first-hand the many ways in which our staff serve and support children and families in the Vologda region. If you have participated in a ministry or vision trip in the past, this is your chance to reconnect with our staff and to see how the ministry has grown!
