Urgent Prayer Needs:

Praise God for these amazing images coming out of Ukraine! Because of generous support from friends like you, encouraging stories of Christian ministry continue to be told in Ukraine. Please pray that those who are receiving gifts of humanitarian would also receive the message of the Gospel.
Pray for Pastor Vasily, his congregation, and others as they choose to minister in Ukraine at great personal risk. Please pray that God will protect them and give them success in their efforts to reach as many people as possible for the sake of the Gospel.
Pray for Natalia as she grieves the loss of her son in the Ukraine war. We thank God for the opportunity SGA-supported pastor Sergei has had to share the Gospel with her and pray she will come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Praise God for 21 new spiritual family members! These hurting Ukrainians — in some of the most war-torn regions of their country — recently gave their lives to Christ as they received emergency aid provided by an SGA-supported church.
Pray for comfort and strength for Natalia and her 2-year-old daughter Yesenia who had to flee Ukraine for Poland. May God protect Natalia’s husband Anton as he is now able to travel to be reunited with them.
Pastor Vladimir sends his praise report from Ukraine: “On behalf of the church, I would like to sincerely thank and assure you that your work is not in vain before God. Almost every Sunday there are many unbelievers from the village and immigrants in the church. Four people have already repented. Praise God for everything!”
From SGA-supported pastor Alexander: “We got excited because of the conversion of two women . . . we rejoice that God is a living God and works in the hearts of people. Our church has taken care of those women . . . and if it were not for you, we wouldn’t be able to do that.”
Pray for SGA-supported pastor Sergei in an occupied region in Ukraine. Oftentimes, he must travel through multiple check points — where he is harassed — in order to procure food and medicine to distribute in his community. May God protect this humble servant as he risks his life to faithfully administer God’s grace.

The Gospel in Life

From our founding in 1934 through today, SGA has been working with churches in Russia, the former Soviet countries of Eastern Europe, and Central Asia to share the Gospel, help train leaders for the church, and to help the hurting and forgotten in the name of Jesus.

Sharing the Gospel

SGA connects North American Christians — like you — with individual Russian church-planting missionaries, and helps to send them out to live, work, and proclaim the Gospel. You can have an exciting part in this life-changing fulfillment of the Great Commission!

Helping the Forgotten

Across the lands of Russia, more than 700,000 children living in state-run orphanages or children’s homes. Their physical and spiritual needs are enormous. Most of these kids will never be adopted into a loving family. Without Christ, they face a dismal future.
