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

Transform Remote Villages With the Gospel in Uzbekistan
Pray the gospel message will take root and grow in previously unreached places. One year ago, missionaries with an indigenous ministry began to pray for the people in a remote, unreached part of the country. Soon after, a team visited the area to build relationships with the people. When a local man heard the gospel message from the missionaries and gave his life to Christ, a spiritual transformation swept through the community. Now, there are 30 believers. “Our teams continue to visit this region,” the ministry leader said. “One could compare it with a desert land embracing rain.” Your donations support evangelism and outreach.

Share Christ’s Salvation Story With Children in Kyrgyzstan
With the aim of presenting the gospel to children from Muslim families, Christian workers led multiple camps across the country during which more than 300 children learned about Christ and creation, and how to disciple others. “Adults are more closed and more Muslim,” the ministry leader said. “Some are very negative about Christianity. For the children, it’s easy to talk to them.” When the camps ended, many began to regularly attend church. Donations of $30 or $60 support outreach to children. Pray they will be a witness to their families of the transforming power of Jesus.

Lift Up Missionaries’ Friendships with the Lost in Kyrgyzstan
Pray for missionaries as they build relationships with the lost. A missionary with a local ministry organized a community clean-up day in which volunteers from her church painted the playground and cleaned up trash. Their goal was to get to know the people who lived nearby so that, one day, they would be open to hearing the gospel message. Their efforts were fruitful, as several neighbors invited the volunteers for tea and exchanged contact information. “I believe that through these small steps God has prepared His special plan and the ministry there will be under His sensitive leadership,” the missionary said. Donations of $60 or $120 support missionaries in their outreach efforts.

Tell of the Power of Jesus’ Love in Kazakhstan
Pray the Lord will open the hearts of the lost to hear the gospel message. During a six-month period, local missionaries personally witnessed to people through gatherings at coffee shops, visits to new friends’ homes, or during outings in town. “If we see an open heart, we tell our testimony and we invite you to personal meetings where we conduct discipleship,” the ministry leader said. “We give the Bible and teach how to study it, and we read it together and discuss questions.” Your donations support missionaries in their evangelism efforts.

Build Relationships in Christ’s Name in Kazakhstan
Pray the Lord will bless new friendships among missionaries and their neighbors. Workers from a local ministry organized an informal get-together to build new friendships with their neighbors. The men prepared dinner together over the fire while the women congregated inside to make salads and get to know one another. During dinner, the ministry leader’s wife shared her testimony. “Thank God for these new friends with whom we can build relationships and shine and evangelize,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support local missionaries as they evangelize in their communities.

Strengthen Those Struggling to Survive in Eurasia
Pray the sick will find comfort in Jesus. Local missionaries visited a family struggling to provide for themselves because the husband suffered from severe asthma, which made it difficult for him to find work. During the visit, the missionaries told the family of Jesus, the great Healer, and prayed for the man. When they revisited the family several months later, they learned the husband no longer suffered as badly and had returned to work. “Currently, this family started to follow God and study the Word in a group,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support missionaries in their evangelism to the lost.
