The Knights of the Orthdox Order of St. John Russian Grand Priory carries on a nearly 1000 year tradition of service to Humanity. Its traditions extend back to 1048 with the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which started the first hospitals during the crusades to take care of the sick and injured regardless of race, creed or ability to pay.

Ministry to the Silo Orphanage, Surakarta, Indonesia
Around 30 kids were there and a team of youth from Bukit Sion Immanuel Church helped us organize and get connected to the Orphanage Silo, in Tuwangmanggu Surakarta, Indonesia. We gave rice, oil, noodles, vegetables, fruits, and other foods that would be good for two months. We also gave some gifts and school supplies to the orphans. The orphanage is a Christian orphanage, managed by a couple. The wife happened to be the daughter of the founder. They have an inspiring story about the orphanage. They are housing muslim kids who are abandoned by families and these kids get schooling from the orphanage, once they finish, they go out and live life with a purpose, as Christians. Most of these kids still go back, visit, and recognize what the orphanage has done in their lives. Let us continuously pray for the couple's ministry. We have seen that it is not easy for them. By God's grace, they will be able to get through the challenges.
