Dear Friends
A new door has been opened for us to bring Jesus Christ to the world wide Russian-speaking community. Two of our team members - names withheld for obvious purposes - have recently returned from a very successful trip to China.
A key contact has been made with a Russian pastor in Beijing. Our goal is to start working with Russian students in China - I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there are many of them!
 Our Russian language Christian television is broadcast through the Hotbird 6 and Express 2AM satellites, who both include China in their coverage. This means that with our guidance, Russian speaking people in China will soon be able to have 24-hour Christian television in their homes.
The Christian television will then point people to our church's Information Platform (website) - www.cx24.ru - which soon will have teachings and sermons in Russian in video, audio and written format. As people then start responding to us via e-mail and instant messaging, we can start building relationship with those people, leading them to the Lord and discipling them.
Notice the three main stages of evangelism above: (1) Sowing, (2) Contact (3) Friendship.
From there we can take one of two routes: either plant a new church or work with an existing church. Time will tell what we will do.
God will use the Russian Church to bring the gospel to the nations. The blessing will outdo the curse of the past. The light of Christ will shine from Moscow and the multitudes will rejoice.
In Christ,
Hugo
"Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you." (Is. 60:1&2) |
