This paper describes some basic features of compassionate ministries practiced among evangelicals in both Tsarist times and in Soviet Russia from the late nineteenth century until about the time of the Bolshevik Revolution. Rather than trying to give a chronology and describe all the different types of ministries, the article instead presents a brief evangelical theology of compassion based on writings by the movement’s leaders, then observes that theology in practice by looking “through the lens” of three different children’s homes founded at intervals over a period of twenty-eight years (these were established by Baptists and Evangelical Christians in Kellomyaki (1889), Balashov (1912) and Petrograd (1917)). Each institution is described briefly, then the article summarizes what they tell us about the character of the evangelical movement during this early period.
