Agape seeks to go where no one else will go. That takes us into the isolated remote areas of Russia's Far North: the Tundra, fishing villages near the Arctic Ocean of the Kola Peninsula, Siberian Mountain Villages and the most Southern of Russia - Tyva.

Agape goes to the Tundra because we were invited by the government to come and help. The journey to the Tundra takes 3 days. First we take a jet and then use a 6x6 Russian monster truck to travel 24 hours across the tundra. On the tundra there are no roads and sometimes our progress can be measured in inches. We travel further by snowmobile to the tepees that are on the tundra. Agape comes there providing life saving home health kits, medical consultations and medicines for Nenets who live on the Tundra. Agape goes to these unreached people in the Tundra bringing them literature and Bibles. After we leave the local missionaries stay there and do follow up.

Agape Future Expedition to the Tundra

Medical Center Agape, travels deep into the Northern Forest (or Taiga) that covers 11 times zones across Northern Russia. Here deep in the Taiga are people living isolated from the rest of the world. Sometimes they still speak their own ethnic language. It is to these kinds of places that Agape has been called to "GO" and help with both physical and spiritual healing.

Agape travels deep into the heart of Siberia to some of the poorest people with the greatest needs in all of Russia. These people are living deep in the mountains of Siberia, separated from the rest of the world and know very little about the Love of God. Often the way to reach these villages is with a helicopter, a boat or a bulldozer. Agape brings a medical mobile clinic there to share the Love of God with these unreached Shor people.

Agape Future Expedition to the Mountain villages of Siberia

We have brought our mobile medical clinic to the place that is really at the end of the road! It is deep in the mountains of this area. There are a lot of shepherds who tend sheep and goats in these vast valleys. The closest medical help for them is a three-day trip away.

The rural villages we visit are like walking back in time 100 years.... women still spin, weave, and knit clothing. There are no supermarkets to buy groceries at... usually only a few basics, flour, sugar, candy, and a few canned items. There are no large grocery stores, or Wal marts here.... and the people make almost everything they need to survive. A trip to the local store, often involves 1-2 days. So, it is best not to forget something.

Agape distributed school kits to children, and gives Agape Health Kits to the elderly and disabled. It is a great opportunity to share Jesus through our deeds and care.

Russia has about 150 million people... and nearly 100 million people live in the rural areas. Agape has more opportunities to SERVE than we can meet in our lifetime. Agape is the only Medical Organization doing Christian Mobile Medical expeditions at the Ends of the Earth because it is too hard to get there and too expensive. Only "together" we can do what God has asked us to do... take the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth! We invite you to "BE INVOLVED". Better yet, we invite you to COME to the harvest !
