Rich Richmond
a called and anointed apostle of God through Jesus Christ to the
lost and forgotten children of Ukraine and Russia.
Rich is equipped with a knowledge of communism that
helps him work in this
environment.
While Ukraine has stepped away from communist control, her
people continue to have a communistic mindset. It is a deeply
rooted seed that has and will continue to take time to change.
In sharp
contrast, Russia seems to slip deeper into the communist
mindset. |
| Meanwhile,
Rich boldly goes before government officials as a father to the
fatherless to improve conditions for them. He continually
seeks, on their behalf, to improve living conditions, nutrition,
and spiritual health. He meets with orphanage directors and
seeks ways to improve conditions at the different orphanages.
There are always many improvements needed.

Not only
does Rich seek to improve the lives of orphaned children in
state care facilities, but he, as president of The Least of
These, partners with local churches, seminaries and Bible
schools and other ministries such as Sunshine Center which works
to promote foster care homes in Ukraine.
He also works with Pastor Victor, an apostle to the
Belogorsk Region who he supports by bringing Christian based
programs to the local kindergartens, foster family, Tb hospital,
and the orphanage for mentally ill children. |
|
Rich tirelessly works to bring Christ and social improvement to
the children of Ukraine and Russia. If you have the pleasure of
speaking to him about “his” children you will see his eyes light
up and his heart warm, as his love for the children is so very
evident. You will also hear him speak of Vitaly and Marina
Dudukaloff, National Directors for The Least of These in
Ukraine. How God has yoked them together to reach the “lost and
forgotten” children with all their heart, soul and strength.
Vitaly is truly a pastor to the children. |

Rich and his wife,
Sherrel, spend four or more months in Ukraine every year. While at
home in Newport, Oregon they work to prepare for their next trip
while Rich also works as a Real Estate Broker. He is active in his
home church, serving as an elder, as well as being active in the
community.
Rich’s passion is clear. He has a heart for orphaned children
around the world.
