Through street evangelism, individual relationships and social media, native Christian workers are spreading the Good News of salvation in Christ, in addition to distributing evangelistic books and Bibles through their church and website. Discipleship of new Christians is done individually or through small groups that meet to study the Bible and discuss how to better live for Christ. The Bibles they distribute are in various languages, mainly Hebrew and Russian. Many of the more than 600 people who heard the gospel over a six-month period were Holocaust survivors. Donations are sought for such gospel work. Pray for the Holy Spirit to open more hearts to Christ.
“Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.” (John 8:42)
