in the post-soviet countries.

We are delighted to present the first results of our large-scale analysis of national mission initiatives of evangelical churches and ministries of Eurasia. From these results, you will see not only challenges and difficulties, but also a plethora of opportunities. The church is growing and ministries are continuing. The main prospects depend, first of all, on local, creative initiatives and secondly, on effective international partnerships. We hope that this research will stimulate the expansion of national ministries and will inspire Christians from other parts of the world!

20th century was a great trial for post-soviet churches. Many of them did not survive, while others have changed beyond recognition. In the 21st century evangelical missionaries of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova face the same problems, although countries go their separate ways. However, openness of the churches, their ability to go «beyond the walls» of their own congregations and denominations — these are the basis for future revivals. Courage of preachers and their national character define the unique image of every Christian church to the glory of God. Thus this book is about that future.

This research is the first attempt to evaluate national outreach initiatives of post-soviet evangelical churches, to investigate their religious and social potential, to find the most perspective models of relations between church, society, and state. Among the undeniable benefits of the book one can name large geographic and confessional range of the research, its impartiality, high level of expert evaluation, and practical orientation. I believe, this book will become a reliable help both for analysts and experts, specializing in trends and dynamics of development of the contemporary evangelical protestantism, and for practical ministers, who sincerely look for viable models to create influential missional congregations and projects.

Who knows more about post-Soviet evangelicals than the post-Soviet evangelicals themselves? This ambitious and wide-ranging study achieves its stated goal of «draw[ing] Eurasia into the world map of missions.» It is an important resource for anyone interested in a vast and diverse part of the world.

серьезно отнестись к вопросу личного спасения.

«Время истины» была написана в 1991 году, и изначально представляла собой собрание объемных писем, которые автор конфиденциально отправлял человеку, умирающему от рака, и не желающему открыто говорить о христианстве. Эти письма не только помогли найти ответы на многие волновавшие его вопросы, но и сыграли немаловажную роль в принятии им евангельского послания. Он отдал свою жизнь Христу за несколько дней до перехода в вечность, где встретился со своим Господом и Спасителем. Книга посвящается памяти этого человека и его жены.
