Why Evangelize

In poverty regions like Moldova and Ukraine, many people have lost hope. Poverty, unemployment and war robbed them of their last courage. But when people are mentally exhausted, nothing can move economically either. We see our concern in encouraging people through mission and evangelism and to help them get up again. There is nothing better than when people realize that they do not have to be left alone with their worries and their guilt, but that Jesus can become a loving helper and savior for each individual.

How We Reach People

Since mission and evangelism is a fundamental focus of Slavic Missionary Outreach, we strive to unify all of our social projects and ministries under the same values. Evangelism begins on a small scale with listening, pastoral care and practical services and extends to large-scale events in cultural centers, on squares and in stadiums, where we can reach the many with the encouraging and live gospel. In Moldova last year we hosted large and small mission events, concerts, and camps which reached people of all ages.

Work in Prisons

Moldova is the most impoverished country in Europe.  With the economic and political instability and the personal lack of prospects, the crime rate is also rising.  Particularly alarming is the fact that even very young people, some of them still children, fill Moldovan penal institutions. There are more than 20 prisons in this small country. The word of Jesus is also directed to prisoners, that through the Gospel they can be inwardly freed.  Through this ministry, many people in the prisons have experienced freedom in Jesus Christ.  Small Christian congregations have sprung up in many prisons, depending on care from experienced Christians.  In some prisons, it has even been possible to build and furnish places of worship.

Mission Outreach

Every year we travel to the East with international teams and youth groups to help people practically and to share God’s love with them. Through the outreaches we can help the churches to inspire new people for Jesus.  For the participants this often becomes an unforgettable experience. The focus of the outreaches can be missions, construction work or children and youth work.
