Russia was formerly the heart of Soviet Union, which was the center of communism. Russians are a very proud people, and they feel that they have much to boast about. They successfully placed the very first man on the moon, and have many other accomplishments beneath them.
There is a common saying in Russian, "Eta Rassia," which translates into "That's Russia." Despite their accomplishments, they are in need of improvements in their living conditions, yet they simply accept the way things are. Everything from the lack of supplies to the corruption of the police are justified and accepted by the simle phase: "Eta Rassia."
However, God opened doors for the Gospel as we sent a mission team to Russia for the first time this past summer. Our team was able to minister to the people in Vladvostok, and the responses of the people was amazing. More than half the people we shared the Gospel to gave a positive response, and even accepted Christ into their lives. The ministry in Russia is still in its early stages, and we need so many more to come and share the Gospel with the Russian people. We have a vision to change their mediocre phase of, "Eta Rassia," to "Eta Christ." Come help change Russia for the Lord! |
