Challenges

  • Belarusians largely understand religious faith as ritualistic and cultural, rather than a transformative relationship with the living God.

  • Limits and restrictions are placed on the activity of evangelicals and evangelical churches, making it difficult to share faith, minister to others, and register.

  • As a secular culture, Belarusians may not be aware of their spiritual need, and seek answers elsewhere.

Prayer requests

  • Please pray for the Holy Spirit to speak to the children, parents and unchurched helpers at the kid’s club. Ask that the everyone involved be transformed by hearing and studying Bible stories and become committed disciples of Jesus.

  • Pray God will continue to open doors as leaders deepen relationships with local social structures and local authorities.

  • Pray for the wisdom of Nazarene leaders as they seek creative ways to increase contacts and deepen existing friendships.

Compassionate Ministries

  • Compassionate ministry of raising personal protective equipment for children’s hospital began during 2020 pandemic.
