How You Can Help Start A Church In Eastern Europe
You or your church can be a vital link to reaching Eastern Europe and
Russia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since the fall of
Communism in 1990 there has been a massive influx of activity from
churches and ministries from around the world to preach the gospel
in the former communist countries.
This was especially true in the early nineties.
Although
there is still unprecedented freedom to minister in most of the
countries of Eastern Europe, there are still thousands of towns
that do not have an evangelical church.
This is where CHRISTIAN MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL comes in.
We believe that we can make a difference in many of these towns.
This
year, 2008, we will help start FIFTEEN brand-new churches here in
Eastern Europe, targeting towns of 20,000 people of more that do
not have a church.
These churches will be started in Hungary, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, and Poland.
HERE IS WHAT IT WILL TAKE
TO START THE NEW CHURCH
Each church will cost approximately $4,000 to get it started. A
very small amount considering the impact it can make upon the
city.
This money may be used in the following ways:
- Provide a good sound system for the new church.
- Rental of a prime building in a well known and well traveled
part of the city. This is usually a cultural center that is
just rented during the times of the church services.
- Advertising of the new church. Our goal with each new church
is to put a piece of literature in each house or apartment of
the city three times a year inviting them to the church. This
will be done by mobilizing the initial church members and
members from churches in other cities.
- Partial payment of the new pastors salary. This will last
about six months.
- Teaching materials for the church and additional training
for the new pastor.
