From the beginning the YWAM Simferopol Family Ministries Resource Center Project has desired to be a support for the whole family.  Much like Youth with a Mission's three-fold vision of Discipleship, Evangelism and Mercy Ministries, the store, library, and consulting office of our center focuses on three areas that are critical for families.

Physical needs

Our Family store meets a felt or physical need. New and used quality clothing, shoes, toys, and baby equipment are available at 50% less than that in other local stores.  It is also through the proceeds coming from the store, that we hope to - at least in part - finance the operation of the whole center.

Intellectual needs

Our reading room meets a intellectual need.  Children's books as well as family life books are available to purchase or borrow,  and give families the opportunity from a biblically based perspective, to learn about all aspects of family life.

Emotional and spiritual need

The last part of our center is a family consulting office.  This aspect of our ministry meets emotional and spiritual needs of the family.  It is a place for families in crisis to come and just share in a safe environment, what they are going through.  It's a place where families can receive Holy Spirit led ministry.  It's a place that we will be able to followup with individuals who have gone through a Ancient Paths or other seminar that we regularly run.  Through the office pre-engagement, pre-marital, and marriage counseling programs will be offered.  We hope that the family consulting office will not only be a place where people can go when they feel they have no where else to go, but a resource that families can look to to help strengthen their relationships.

Our goal is that each individual aspect of the center, will open the door for people to make use of the others, and that ultimately the Lord will use this ministry to bring families in Ukraine closer to living out God's right way for growing healthy families into a healthy nation!
