It seems there’s a new update every day. The latest health mandate. The best “social distancing” practices. Rules about when you can and cannot leave your house. It can feel very limiting.
But the truth is this coronavirus pandemic has also brought new opportunities — opportunities to show God’s love to a world that is overwhelmed.
Christians in former Soviet Union are using this time of sickness and uncertainty as a chance to spread the Gospel while helping others in need.
Because of the tremendous shortage of masks, our Russian Missions teams have banded together to make them in their homes and then go out in the streets and give them away.
Our missionaries are using this as an opportunity to boldly share their testimonies. In a time where price gouging and hoarding have become more common, those receiving these free homemade masks are surprised by the kindness shown to them.
They recognize there’s clearly something different about these people who follow Jesus.
It seems the coronavirus is not the only thing spreading. I see that evangelism has grown even stronger.
Christians are sharing their testimonies about what Christ is doing in their lives during this time of crisis.
Our missionaries are now holding online prayer times and devotions. And since most people are at home with more free time on their hands, many are discovering these programs. Our partners are seeing a tremendous increase in viewers and listeners.
That means more people are hearing the Gospel every week!
These faithful believers are reaching as many as they can for Christ … but they can’t do it alone. They need Bibles and Christian resources. They are hungry for God’s Word and eager to share it with others.
Leading Hurting Souls to Jesus
Nothing wrenches my heart quite like a hurting child during this difficult times. And since you care so much about those in need, I’m sure you feel the same way.
However, you and I can make a difference—one child at a time and one community at a time.
Yet there are still so many who need our help, especially right now as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread.
In this time of crisis, help us continue to reach hurting souls in post-Soviet countries with true hope in Christ.
Thank you for being such a faithful member of Russian Mission’s dedicated team in reaching lost and hurting people with the message of Hope.
During this difficult time, I continue to be so grateful for your generous heart and faithful support.
Together, we’ll get through the coronavirus pandemic and continue to see lives changed!
In His love and service,
Your Brother in the Lord,
Pastor Vitali Yuchkovski
