What Do We Do?
There is great confusion about our work and our ministry and I can understand why. We do several things, or, I ought to say, we keep our focus on doing things that develop whole persons and that requires that we do many different things.
Steve Griebling and I set off for Moscow on May 29 for about two weeks of personal ministry, consulting and training. I have been involved in developing a "Whole Person Ministry" in Russia since 1992. I get a lot of question about what kinds of things we will do.
Do you preach at local churches? Yes
Do you help set up healing ministries? Yes
Do you help set up counseling ministries? Yes
Do you help set up evangelism ministries? Yes?
Do you help set up ministries for families? Yes
Do you help set up Alcohol and drug treatment centers? Yes
Do you take medical assistance? Yes
Do you minister to pastors, priests and leaders? Yes
Do you help churches develop the structures necessary to educate and counsel people? Yes
Do you teach Listening, Rational Christian Thinking, Family systems and Breaking Free? Yes
A focus on the whole person requires that we establish ministries in and outside churches that target every dimension of concern to God.
Leaders come from all over the former USSR to learn and return home to establish groups, classes, ministries and outreaches in mission groups, Bible Schools, Seminaries, churches, prisons, etc. Thank God for the courageous men and women who are giving everything to serve Christ in a difficult situation.
We need your prayers and support. Ministry in Russia is getting more difficult and expensive.
