Russian ministry has been primarily in the Southern region of
the Russian Federation, in the Republic of Tuva, which is located
just north of Mongolia in central Siberia. It is an economically
depressed area where many survive on the equivalent of sixty
US dollars per month. Although still influenced by Atheism,
Shamanism and Buddhism have been synchronized as Tuva’s
state religion (see
page 5). |
Russian Ministry
Introduction
 |
 |
According to World Magazine, September 3, 2005, only one—tenth
of 1 percent of the Russian people can be considered evangelical
Christians. However, the Lord has given us a wide open door
for evangelism and church planting. We are told in nearly every
remote village we have visited that we are the first foreigners
and first Americans to visit there. |
| Since
2003, we have traveled by boat on the Yenisey River to many
of these villages. The Lord has blessed us with the privilege
of sharing the gospel in the village schools (See
page 2) and planting churches in both Susch (see
page 3) and Baj-Xaak (see
page 4). |
