I hope this gives you something to pray for. A friend e-mailed me about a website to visit. It is the website for Hope International. On that website I found these statistics about Russian orphans once they become of age and leave the orphanage, I believe that is at age 16.
10% Commit Suicide
20% Become Criminals
40% Are Homeless
30% Can not find work
These statistics might not be completly acurate but there is some truth to them. It is extreemy difficult for an orphan to find their way and few make it. I know the Russian government is trying to turn the situation around. Prayers can certainly help.
