Church Plants

When the Lord called us to the former Soviet Union in the early 1990’s our primary focus quickly became church planting. We saw thousands of people respond in evangelistic crusades, yet often we would be left feeling empty as there were few churches for the people to attend and be discipled in their new found faith.

Early on, our mission became clear: Plant churches and put tools in their hands that will help them grow into a healthy, self sustaining, growing Body of Believers.

It is not difficult to start a church. The greater need is to see it develop to a place where it reaching its own people and others. This is evangelism brought to fruition.

Our church planting efforts focus on:

1. •Training Pastors and Leaders
   

2. • Giving Financial Assistance: We commit to financial support for the new church for one year. After one year we believe for them to be self supporting by teaching and practicing the principles of tithing, giving and alms (giving to the poor). The principles of God’s Word work in any country no matter its condition.
   

3. •Providing Evangelism and Discipleship Tools: One tremendous source of evangelism literature is the Book of Hope. The Book of Hope is the Gospels written in chronological order. The Bible school program contains very effective teaching on evangelism.
   

4. •Helping the Poor: One of the most effective tools in helping a church is through touching their own community with humanitarian relief. You can read more on the humanitarian page.  He is the One building His church. We are grateful He allows us to be involved.
