Welcome to the Russia Ministry Network
Thank you for taking time to stop by and check out what God is doing throughout Russia and Siberia.
It takes many different people, using their gifts and talents in partnership with one another, and with God,

maintaining and creating opportunties to see lives changed through a positive life giving message of
love and hope that is offered with through the sharing of the Gospel to those that have not heard,
and/or need to grow deeper in the their relationship with Christ.
 Missionaries to Russia are finding ways to continue their work within the country despite a restrictive visa law. The law currently limits workers with ministry visas to only 180 days in the country per year and not more than 90 days at a time. However, many missionaries have started applying for resident visas, and some have already received them . Others are receiving student visas, cultural visas and work visas. Area Directors Rick and Dianna Lang say, “Missionaries are diligently finding ways to keep their ‘boots on the ground’ in Russia. |

Hope for the Middle East
In a church in southern Russia, near the University of Volgograd, the indigenous church concept is a reality. Believers there are the catalyst for international student outreach and make it a priority to train new believers in Christian leadership. Some of these students are from closed countries who then return
Adad*, a student from the Middle East, and his Russian wife knew little about the church the first time they visited. During the service the believers joined in prayer for healing. None of them knew that Adad had only one kidney, but God used their prayers to alter the course of Adad’s life. |
Exciting News...From The Beginning in 2007, leaders of the Union of Pentecostal Believers cast a vision to plant churches in spiritually dark places across Russia’s 11 time zones. Since then nearly 200 new churches have been planted. Now these new churches are raising up more church planters who are eager to go to areas and people groups where the gospel has not yet been preached. Two young women—Nina and Svetlana—sensed God’s call to move to Orlick, a remote mountain village in Siberia. Their burden was to plant a church among the Soyats, an unreached people group. The living conditions were harsh, and the women faced opposition from local shamanists who live under the control of demonic powers. But the two women persevered, and today a church is growing where no church existed. Former shamanists are now followers of Christ! But there is even more to this story. (complete story) |
