Silk Road Nations is a ministry dedicated to spreading the good news about Jesus throughout the Turkic world of the Middle East and Central Asia. We seek to do this through all means but primarily through church planting, church resourcing and leadership training. Our goal is to see a community of believers in every village, town and city in this part of the world.

Today the Village of Hope impacts about 400 children daily because of feeding programs, a primary school and orphan homes.

Rick Bursey

.
Mexico
.
Rick, Lisa, Alex and Jackson Bursey left Canada in 2008 to pursue a call to help the orphans of Mexico. After visiting many times and seeing the quality of care being received by children in institutions there, they felt that they had to do something. Not knowing exactly how God was planning to fulfill this calling they sold everything and headed south. After all this time, Possibilities House is the fruit of their labour and the realization of the vision God has put in their hearts.
.
Possibilities House is a family style facility with homes of 8 children and a set of parents in each house. They are starting with a capacity of 16 and eventually will move up to 40+ as resources permit. It has been a long a tedious journey but they are excited at what God is doing for orphan care in Mexico. The Burseys have formed their own charitable organization in Canada called Possibilities House For Children (www.possibilitieshouse.org) and have teamed up with a global orphan care organization in Mexico called Back2Back Ministries (www.back2back.org). Together they have an opportunity to raise the level of care for countless numbers of Mexican children who otherwise would have no hope.
.
Ultimately, Rick and Lisa will raise children that understand that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The Possibilities House plan includes using its own resources and children to minister to their city, teaching them that we all have far more value through giving to others than merely receiving hand-outs. Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older… he may just change an entire community!

Dave Sawler

.
I am presently the lead Pastor of Lighthouse Community Church in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. My family and several people moved into the area almost ten years ago to start a church planting ministry.
.
If you don’t know where Cape Breton is it the eastern part of Nova Scotia and has one of the lowest percentage of young people and young adults engaged in any church in Canada. Previously, I spent eleven years as a youth, young adult, and missions pastor.
.
I try in a very simple and honest way to challenge people to live like Jesus without the clutter that is usually attached. I spend a bit of time speaking to youth, young adults, parents, and leaders about why people walk away from their churches and faith. I hope to re-engage many on the fringe and to speak hope into the lives of people, ministries, and churches today.

Kid's Alive – The Oasis – Guatemala

Oasis in Guatemala

.

The Oasis in Guatemala is a community of homes for abused and neglected girls. A part of the ministry is the Families Together Program which has the aim to ultimately reunite Oasis girls with a family member that will love and support them.
.
This can mean encouraging a mother to leave an abusive spouse. Or helping a grandmother establish a small business. As a result of these efforts, roughly half of the Oasis girls are reconciled with a family member within two years. The program continues to follow up with these families, ensuring children are well cared for, and have the resources they need to succeed at school.
.
Through the relationships that are developed, the workers are able to share the love of Christ with Oasis graduates – and also with their families.
.
