“Administrative, serving local churches and Christian leaders - In 2012, SMI purchased its own facility. This building is home for preparation of relief containers, volunteer fellowchip and office activities. One full-time and two part-time workers manage the entire operation of SMI. During the year, the administrative office was responsible for all publications, correspondence, meetings, bookkeeping, planning and other duties necessary for the mission to function. Nearly 5,000 hours of work was completed by the staff. Antioch Movement is an SMI partner focused on planting churches. In 2013 our mission was foundational in beginning the Antioch movement in Moldova. Six church training sessions were conducted in 2013. As a direct result of these training sessions, several churches have initiated new churches in both Moldova and Romania. SMI has extended the training program into the Transnistria region where our representative oversees the growth and development of new churches. We financially support the training of pastors and leaders to reach their communities for Christ. The New Life Moldova University Ministry is partially funded by SMI. Our short-term mission teams participated in an English camp to help local students improve their English skills 45 young men and women were involved. SMI conducts special English learning opportunities for University students in the spring and fall. We serve as hosts for visiting leaders from the New Life ministries. Our church partners include Open Heaven Church, New Life, Good News, Tirospol as well as village churches in Grigoriopol, Slobozia, Pervomaisc, Malaiesti, and other small communities plus Metanoia church, a partner in Chisinau, Moldova. In 2013, in addition to giving financial assistance, SMI provided suplies for children ministries. SMI is also a supporting mission for church plants in Turkmenistan. Short Term Missions provided opportunities to experisnce a new culture as a missionary for 10 - 14 days. In 2013, three teams spent a total of 40 days participating in construction work, childrens programs, university students ministries and other activities.”

“Ministering to the Vulnerable and Needy - We minister to the vulnerable by supporting initiatives that supply relief for current needs and develop economic solutions for future needs. The Thrift Store Project provided affordable products for resale, employmnet for 80 people, support for foster care for orphans, assistance for area pastors and vouchers for those with authentic needs. Children of the Street Feeding Program is funded and supplied by SMI to provide nutritious food and tutoring for the poorest children in the village of Grigoriopol in Moldova. During the School year, approximately 3,600 meals were served. We provide materioals and labor for construction and repair at village homes in partnership with Help the Children. This year our construction team built a bathroom and dormitory room to house foster children in the village of Dnestrovsc. We are registered under the trade name of Help the Children and serve as the USA representative for this ministry of foster care and transitional care for orphans and other children-at-risk. HTC enables these children to live in a Christian environment where they are loved and nurtured. SMI is responsible for administration of the program to include correspondence, bookkeeping, public awareness and hosting staff members who visit the USA. Currently there are 45 children in the foster care program and 12 teenagers in Transitional Care. We mobilized communities to donate select goods and we prepared and shipped these products internationally for distribution by our partners. In 2013, our mission volunteers processed 141 tons of donated goods and shipped 101 tons. We continued to facilitate ministry to orphanages through regular visits, needs assessments and spiritual influence. In 2013, three teams ministered to 300 children in State-run orphanages. The teams provided programming, crafts and games and shared the love of God.”

“Imparting Truth - We impart moral-spiritual truth to youth, the next generation of leaders. We promote childrens and youth ministries and provide resources for training. We host programs designed for conversing and interacting with high school and college students to give them an opportunity to better their English speaking skills while presenting spiritual insights. In 2013 evangelistic outreaches were conducted by SMI at three locations involving 210 people. SMI planned, organized and underwrote 32 Bible Clubs. In order to reach non-believing families with the Gospel, parents were invited to come and see what their children were learning. The clubs helped to raise the visibility and credibility of formerly persecuted churches. Approximately 1,700 children participated.”
