CHRISTIANITY IN RUSSIA Russia! Many people know of the whereabouts of the world's largest country, but to get a glimpse of its real face, here is a brief introduction to its troubled history.

abundance of witchcraft, astrology, sorcery, spiritual blindness and confusion. There is also open propaganda against any non-Orthodox Christianity in the mass media.

In the 10th Century the ruler of Kievan Rus, Prince Vladimir, chose Orthodox Christianity over the other religions of that time on the basis that it permitted the Russian tradition of drinking alcohol, which was forbidden by all the other religions. In the years 988-991 AD mass Orthodox baptisms took place in Kiev; Grand Prince Vladimir made Orthodox Christianity the national religion of Russia - it remained so until 1917. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 the Orthodox Church has resumed its position as the main religion of the nation.

There are five thousand monasteries scattered across this vast land and Russia was and still is deeply religious. Foreigners are astonished at the amount of time given over to religious ceremonial activities by ordinary Russians.

Almost all keep the Great Fast of Lent, and then attend the climax of Easter Mass, with its triple kiss and echoing proclamation, "Christ is Risen".

Choirs compete to sing the finest chants and hymns in churches.

At the 7th Ecumenical Council, the Eastern Orthodox Church officially split from Western Catholicism (the Church of Rome); and these two religions have remained hostile towards each other ever since. By the 15th century, after the fall of Constantinople (modern Istanbul), Russia became the centre of the Orthodox creed, with its capital of Moscow becoming known as "the third Rome".

The most accurate Russian translation of the Bible originates from the middle of the 19th Century and is called the "Synod Translation".

It was originally published by the Russian Missionary Society. There is also an Orthodox translation (interpretation) that contains the Apocryphal books, Orthodox Church commentaries and some doctrinal statements.

Ever since, Patriarchs have led the Orthodox Church with even the Tsars being obliged to obey their instructions. In the 16th century, Ivan the IV ("Ivan the Terrible") had a considerable influence on Russian history. The Romanov dynasty reigned from 1613 until 1917, when the Communists executed the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, together with his wife and children. At this point the rule of the Russian monarchy came to an end.

Historically and geographically Russia is situated between east and west, and yet the Russian mentality is neither eastern nor western. There is a saying that "10 Russians will have 11 opinions"!

The nation is still very unpredictable and spiritually oppressed. The religious values of the general population have remained unaffected; the Orthodox Church has always been dominant.

RELIGION IN RUSSIA; FROM PAST TO PRESENT The Orthodox Church has retained its grip on Russia, and has never allowed any signs of spiritual awakening to develop. There have been some scattered pioneer groups, but there has never been true revival. The majority of Russians are proud of their Orthodox church, yet ignorant about its roots or about real Christianity. Bibles are kissed and decorated with elaborate covers, but never studied or followed. There is an

THE RUSSIAN BIBLE

"REVIVALS" IN RUSSIAN HISTORY

Over the centuries, missionaries preaching the Gospel have come from far away lands. In the 14th century for example, there were signs of revival in the northern city of Novgorod.

Churches were built with plain, undecorated walls and kept free from idols and heathen images; later, however, they were "flooded" with icons and religious paintings. The reformation in the west never reached Russia, with the exception of some German religious groups (mainly Mennonites) moving to Siberia and the Ukraine in the 18th Century, where German born Russian Empress Catherine the Great promised them religious freedom.

At the end of the 19th century Russia had a chance to change its history. Western missionaries, led by an Englishman, Lord Radstock, spread the Word of God amongst Russian aristocrats in St. Petersburg, and the wives of some high-ranking officers and generals were converted. There were all the signs of a revival breaking out: however, other unconverted aristocrats were alarmed by any hint of change and reported to the Tsar Alexander II, pleading with him to stop the Word being spread. Leaders of the Orthodox Church joined the appeal, afraid of losing their power. Consequently, Alexander arrested converts, exiling some and jailing others.

The Soviets organised widespread anti-religious propaganda. They were especially against Evangelicals and Baptists (the word 'Baptist' still carries very strong negative connotations for many Russians). Communists severely persecuted any signs of Biblical faith. It was absolutely forbidden to speak about faith, God or the Bible:

"In the last letter that he wrote home, Ivan Moiseyev (a young Christian man in the Soviet army) urged his brother Vladimir, 'Don't tell our parents everything. Just tell them, "Vanya wrote me a letter and writes that Jesus Christ is going into battle. This is a Christian battle, and he doesn't know whether he will be back." I desire that all of you, dear friend, young and old, Even before the Bolshevik communist remember this one verse. Revelation 2:10 "Be revolution of 1917, religious gatherings were illegal outside the Orthodox Church. Whenever faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life." The next day, July 16, 1972, evangelical Christianity spread, the Orthodox twenty-year-old Vanya died in suspicious Church always used their political might to circumstances. The Soviets claimed it was an repress it.

"We have heard of small evangelical revivals in accidental drowning. His family insisted that different parts of Russia and the Ukraine, some Vanya was tortured to death."

It is documented that in 1937 thousands of groups forming here and there. Pentecost Christians were executed or were sent to labour mission in the Russian Empire began in 1911 camps in Siberia, or to Gulags in with visits from one of the pioneers of the Pentecostal movement in Europe, Thomas Ball unapproachable areas in the far north. The country was purely atheistic, making Lenin and Barratt of Olso.

Stalin into idols for the people to worship.

In 1915 Andrew Urshan (the founder of the United Pentecostal Church in the USA) held Gospel meetings in St. Petersburg - by then renamed Petrograd - in their hall with attendances of up to 200. The converts were so eager to be baptised that baptisms had to be conducted in a hole in the ice on a frozen river.

After the 1917 Communist revolution, "inakomysliashie" (people who did not accept the changes) were not exiled or put into prison any more, they simply vanished. In the best of cases they were placed in Gulags (isolated hard labour concentration camps): otherwise they were instantly executed. In the 20th century, Stalin eliminated the majority of non-Orthodox believers. Some Orthodox priests became Communists, which allowed them to still keep some churches open. These priests worked closely with KGB (State Security Service). They reported everyone who wanted to be baptised or to baptise a child : those involved could then easily lose their jobs or be taken to a labour camp without any further investigation.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE Now, after a transitional period towards democracy and away from communism (which totally forbade the existence of anything other than the Orthodox religion), the 1997 law against 'sects' remains, which in effect outlaws any Christian group except the Orthodox Church. There is no obvious persecution at present through, and Christians enjoy a period of "freedom"; they can meet together, openly speak to people about God and preach the Gospel. Although the majority of Russians are mostly indifferent towards spiritual matters, there is nevertheless a spiritual Hunger in the land and millions of souls who need the Lord Jesus Christ!

"The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest" (Luke 10:2)

RUSSIA Ondrej Garaj Accepts New Leadership Role in Russia and the C.I.S. very Home for EitsChrist launched home-to-home

evangelism campaign in Moscow, Russia in August of 1990 just as heavily–armed Soviet tanks rolled into Red Square in response to an attempted coup. It was at this same time a truck loaded with powerful weapons of another kind was moving quietly toward Moscow. The truck was weighted down with ten tons of EHC gospel booklets and Bible-study materials­—the weapons of spiritual warfare that would be used to reach every family in Moscow with the Gospel (a city of more than eight million people).

This first shipment of 1.2 million gospel booklets and Biblestudy courses arrived safely and soon afterward the EHC ministry officially launched the home-to-home campaign. As part of the Every Home Campaign, EHC held a strategic precampaign training conference for more than 100 Soviet pastors and Christian leaders.

EHC President Dick Eastman recalls the spiritual atmosphere: “For years there was bitter division among three evangelical denominations over doctrinal issues and traditionally accepted forms of worship. To see individuals put their longstanding differences aside and unite under the banner of fulfilling the Great Commission was like witnessing a miracle.

In a rare show of Christian unity, Baptist, Pentecostal and Charismatic believers agreed to work together toward the common goal of presenting ‘Christ and Christ only’ to the people of Moscow.”

Believers representing 50 evangelical churches in Moscow and surrounding areas eagerly volunteered to be the first teams to take the Gospel door to door in the historic EHC outreach.

"To my knowledge, it was the first time in history that the Gospel was systematically presented to every family in Moscow,” says Dick Eastman reflecting back on this point in the ministry’s history.

“And, it was all done

by Soviet believers with the full permission of the government. It was a monumental day for evangelism in Moscow and what was then the former Soviet Union.”

In the first few weeks of the campaign 20,000 families in Moscow had been given the Gospel by a team of 35 trained evangelists. During that first test pilot campaign, more than 1,980 responses to the Gospel were received in the EHC office.

In less than two years EHC teams had reached 300,000 families in the capital city, resulting in more than 60,000 testimonies of salvation and/or requests for

additional materials.

The response was so tremendous that churches involved in the Every Home Campaign were outgrowing their facilities and were scrambling to find schoolrooms and other buildings where they would be able to accommodate their congregations.

In the 20 years that have followed since the work was launched, EHC has reached 11 Million

(11,171,762) families throughout all of Russia with the Gospel, resulting in just under 290,000 decisions/responses.

EHC’s successes in the nation of Russia have become a springboard for expansion into other C.I.S. countries, including Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. In all these nations

combined, EHC teams have reached 29 million families with the gospel message, resulting in 700,000 responses.

In the last two years EHC has gone through some challenges with the work in the C.I.S., including leadership changes within the region. While the home-to-home evangelistic campaigns continued, EHC’s work in the C.I.S. functioned under the interim leadership of EHC’s Regional Director for Europe, Pierre Clément.

MACEDONIA CALLS AGAIN !

"During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the Gospel to them." Acts 16:9 -10 Dear Brothers and sisters & fellow co-workers, "Joy to the World"..."Holy Night"... were some of the songs that we sang with a small choir of 30 people joined from two churches celebrating Christmas at two biggest Malls in the capital of Skopje.

Just a little before that the choir from our church visited a home for old people located nearby our church. There were around 30 old men and women who welcomed us with great joy, and some of them sang along with us.

Later we gave them small presents, food and Bibles with pictures. They were very happy.

On the 7th of January (according to Julian calendar) we had a nice Christmas service in the church which continued in our home with lunch for some of them. God really filled us with great joy!

But a week later we received sad news that the founder of the EHC Macedonia office, Daniel Blaser from Switzerland died of cancer after 2 months of illness.

We were very sad that we will no longer see him in

the future tract distributions here in Macedonia.

At the same time we were filled with a kind of happiness that our brother Daniel has served God faithfully and had a great vision to reach every person with the Gospel of Christ.

To be honest, we want that great vision to continue with God's help.

Daniel is not with us, all financial support from Switzerland has stopped. Therefore, we kindly ask you as individuals, churches associations and missions to be involved in this vision and do not let this good work that started 15 years ago stop!

On the contrary, the effort and flame for God in our ears is even stronger to bring glory to Him! Rule and I attended the funeral and commemoration service in Daniel's town in Switzerland where he lived with many others who came to pay tribute.

We are thankful for everyone who took part in any activity through EHC and we want in the future to praise God together for all He has done for all of us!

In His precious love, Yours, Bore and Rule Blazevski & the family

The man in Paul's vision is still "standing and begging ... Come over to Macedonia and help us" For your Macedonian help see the Gift Slip enclosed.

MOZAMBIQUE There was great move of the Holy Spirit and demons were manifesting and many healed and multitudes believing the word of God and receiving Christ in their lives. On the first day 725 people gave their lives to Christ as evangelist Majazi preached, on day two 1771 gave their lives to Christ as evangelist Samukange was preaching and on Saturday a total of 1298 people gave their lives to Christ and two lame men received healing and also one lady's sight was restored after 6 years of blindness. There were many other confessions of healing as evangelist Eunor Guti was preaching and Sunday there was a youth meeting before the main service and a total of 624 youths gave their lives to Christ and more than 400 people gave their lives to Christ during the main service.

The new believers were given decision cards and the Gospel of John by Every Home for Christ and as they were leaving they gave their addresses for follow up in their homes and this follow up was tasked to Every Home for Christ and other churches that were present.

There was indeed a great explosion of the Gospel and many homes received Jesus and an ocean of people from all walks of life were blessed.

EHC Israel tour group on boat

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved" (Romans 10:1, NKJV) Dick Eastman writes...

I went to Israel at the invitation of Eric Leach, our Australian executive director, who organised a trip for about 50 of his Aussie, NZ, and UK EHC supporters. Eric and the EHC ministry of Australia , New Zealand and the United Kingdom have supported various efforts in Israel for nearly 25 years.

But the occasion of my going also was to meet (and ordain) our two newly-appointed leaders who will now launch our very first actual "Every Home Campaign" there.

my knowledge there has never been an organised, systematic home-to-home evangelistic campaign targeting every home in every area in Israel since the early church did it in the first century. (See Acts 5:42). Now, even as I write this, it is beginning in Tel Aviv (Israel's largest city) and the Golan Heights in the North. The work is now underway. You can see in the accompanying picture our two new colleagues as we study a map of Israel and discuss the plans to reach this nation of God's chosen people with the

Good News of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. I've also included a picture of my prayer visit to the famed "Western Wall" (also called "the Wailing Wall") where the tradition is to place written prayers into the cracks of this historic wall. I took hundreds of these with me and transferred them to the famed Western Wall.

Thanks for joining with us in a similar prayer as that of the Apostle Paul who declared, "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved". (Romans 10:1, NKJV)
