Eurasia

At a Glance

  • Depressed economies and poor infrastructure
  • Oppressive governments that repress evangelical Christianity
  • Alcoholism
  • Vast distances between rural communities
  • Revivals and growing evangelical populations
  • Unreached people groups: 402

In most countries in the difficult mission field of Eurasia, evangelical believers comprise less than 1 percent of the population. Indigenous missionaries travel far distances in these countries to bring the message of Christ to isolated, unreached people groups. They face political, cultural, and religious ideologies that are closed and hostile to the gospel message. Through compassionate outreach to children and poor, marginalized people, missionaries are making inroads for the gospel.

Ministry Highlight

A ministry in Uzbekistan shared the gospel with over 2,600 people and started 18 new churches last year. They are reaching the Turkmen people, who are one of the world’s least-reached people groups, in an area near the border of Turkmenistan. “This area is one of the most remote corners of the country,” the leader said. “A desert, both naturally and spiritually.” There are now about 30 new believers in this area and even more seekers.

How You Can Make a Difference

Thanks to dedicated indigenous missionaries, the gospel is taking root among the ethnic minorities in Eurasia, but they need help to reach the remote communities where these minorities live to disciple and train them in God’s Word. You can supply them with vital resources for transportation and living expenses, along with Bibles and training materials.

From the Mission Field in Eurasia

Provide Gospel-Centered Hope to the Lost in Eurasia
A local ministry’s sports’ outreach club provides an opportunity for missionaries to build relationships with young men who often come from a Muslim background. The missionaries also meet regularly with the young men outside of sports’ club events, where they discuss faith in God and biblical principles. “Seeing how their hearts change, we are inspired,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support outreach such as this. Pray for young men and women to surrender their lives to Christ.

Support the Fellowship of Believers in Eurasia
Thirty believing families gather in their own individual homes each week to worship and fellowship with one another, but a local ministry hopes to join all of these families together into one congregation, particularly as the missionaries have witnessed how the families have experienced repentance together and many hope to be baptized. “It was so joyful to see the healing of families and physical healings as well,” the ministry leader said. “We desire to unite them as one church.”

Stand Firm With Believers in Eurasia
Even though a local ministry was using government-sanctioned Bibles during its worship service, local authorities arrived one day and took one of the Bibles as well as a children's Bible. They then fined the pastor and held a trial, alleging the ministry did not have official permission to use the children's Bible. One week later, the pastor was sentenced to one year of probation, and the ministry leader was ordered to regularly check in with the authorities. Your donations assist local ministries in places that are opposed to Christianity.

Minister To Vulnerable Young People in Kazakhstan
Christian workers use a sports ministry to build relationships with local young people, many of whom are orphans being raised by relatives. “We try to become trustees for them, take responsibility to help them find their calling, profession, and find their place in life,” the ministry leader said. Through sports, workers develop friendships with these young men and women, which opens opportunities to share Christ. Their outreach is desperately needed as Islam grows in influence, particularly among the demographic they serve. Donations of $25 or $50 help workers with such evangelism and discipleship. Pray that the Holy Spirit would move among the young people in this region.

Lift Up Persecuted Believers in Kyrgyzstan
The leader of a native ministry visited a married couple in a remote village who had been ostracized by their family and neighbors for their Christian beliefs. When the couple sought to join their cow to a local herd, the herdsmen forbade it. When they need water for their garden, they are prohibited from getting it. “When I hear some of our people share what they were persecuted for, I just cry and weep,” said the ministry leader. Still, the couple maintains their faith in Christ, trusting that He will give them the strength to withstand these hardships. Funds help support native ministries as they disciple persecuted believers. Pray for the steadfastness of the persecuted church.

Minister to Young Adults in Kyrgyzstan
A teenage boy attended a weekly outreach event for teens organized by a local ministry because it seemed like a fun way to pass the time. Each Saturday, the ministry rented a soccer field for the teens to play soccer together. Then, they came together at church to sing, fellowship, and talk about God. The boy was one of 20 teens who regularly attended, and soon, God began to move in his heart. Three years later, he was baptized. Now, he is part of a leadership group that works with teens and young people. Your gift of $30 or $60 helps fund outreach events such as these. Pray for teens to turn their hearts toward Christ.
