He asked this pertinent question, that where have your ever heard of a conference that was set aside on this one particular ministry subject.
The reason behind a conference on ministry to orphans and widows is that Belarussia has such a disproportionate number of orphans and widows for two specific community arenas:
The first are motor vehicle deaths. Belarussia continues to see a large number of motor vehicle accidents where husbands are killed.
The second is that of cancer, where there seems to be an equal number male and females (fathers and mothers) dying.
In such a national situation, the churches have stepped in to the breach and provided humanitarian care for those who are left without both parents or one parent, and the children.
Such has been the success of Alex Krasnopivtsev and his team in this endeavour that their program has now been duplicated in a number of regional nations of Eastern Europe and into South America.
Alex Krasnopivtsev said that as a Pastor, these efforts are in his voluntary time as the entire ministry has numerous volunteers where food packages and clothing and funds for electricity and the like, are provided.
He explained to Australian Missionary News IPTV anchorman Mark Tronson, that Belarussia is south west of the Ukraine and its on the border with Poland. There is a population of 10 million.
Alex Krasnopivtsev cited Job 22 verse 9 where a passionate concern for widows and orphans is expressed: "You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken."
