Russia fining Christians who help with Bible distribution

Russia is cracking down on foreign religious organizations. 

One of the groups is Mission Eurasia. The U.S.-based ministry works across post-Soviet Eurasia, equipping Christian leaders, distributing Bibles, and planting churches. Those who cooperate with the group in Russia have been convicted and fined. 

Sergey Rakhuba, the president of Mission Eurasia, told Christianity Daily, “Governments can close an organization’s office. They can prohibit a foreign organization. They can confiscate books. … But it is much harder to stop the Gospel when it is already in the hearts and hands of thousands of local believers.”

In Isaiah 55:11, God said, “So My word that goes forth from My mouth … shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

Send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Russian Ambassador to America, Alexander Darchiev, and urge him to tell President Vladimir Putin to stop fining Christians who help distribute Bibles. Send it to the Russian Embassy, 2650 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20007. To get the correct spelling of his name and the address, look at our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.
