Help faithful servants answer God’s call to serve and grow the body of Christ.
Through sponsorship of faithful national missionary pastors, SGA partners are helping them reach their communities for Christ and planting new churches in unreached regions.
SGA connects North American Christians with individual Russian church-planting missionaries, and helps to send them out to targeted regions where they live, work and proclaim the Gospel. They have a tremendous advantage because they already know the language, culture and history of their people. The church planters are selected by their local congregational leadership and are partnered through SGA with sponsoring individuals or churches here in North America. In addition, many Sunday school classes and adult Bible fellowships have discovered the tremendous blessing of sponsoring a national church planter in Russia.
God can take the darkest of experiences, and then bring new light and life to hurting people. We’re seeing Him do that today in the life of Tetiana, a widow who came to Pastor Oleg’s church in Ukraine seeking aid. “She is changing before our eyes with God’s grace,” Oleg says. Please pray with us that Tetiana will respond as she hears the Word of God taught in Sunday services and in Bible study—and will believe in Jesus Christ.
Church Planting Ministry
SGA helps facilitate communication between the missionary and sponsors, to encourage prayer and so that all may rejoice in what God is doing across the former Soviet Union. Partial sponsorships can begin for as little as $35 per month.
Church planter sponsors receive their missionary’s name, family information, ministry location and a family photo when possible. SGA helps facilitate communication between the missionary and sponsors, to encourage prayer and so that all may rejoice in what God is doing across the former Soviet Union. The backgrounds of the missionaries are varied, and their dedication is such that many of them are ministering in three to five locations simultaneously. A significant number also have ministries to prison inmates, drug addicts and orphan children. Many former prisoners who have been gloriously saved have moved on to become church planters themselves.
Full sponsorships are also available. If you’d like to find out more how you can help sponsor a faithful missionary pastor in Russia or her neighboring countries, call SGA at 1-800-242-5350. Our office switchboard is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time.
