This course is designed for children ages 6 to 18. Nina is standing next to the map showing more than 50 cities and towns and villages in Russia and former Soviet Union where she is sending her letters. In some of those places there is no church, no Christian bookstore, no mission. So her letters are the only media by which children can know about Jesus and His love.
Many children share their problems and concerns.
Others need encouragement and support. Yana from Krasnodar region writes that she just wants to know Nina and become a faithful friend to her. Some children are from so poor families that we have to send them an empty envelope to respond to us. We also try to send little gifts and souvenirs on their birthdays. To see how significant these letters are for children let me read for you some excerpts from letters to Nina.
