Areas Of Success And Opportunity For Slavic Churches In America

Here are the areas of success and opportunity for Slavic Churches in America:

Success of being on mission of Slavic Churches:

• Financial support of overseas missions
• Financial support of building new church buildings in Russia
• Providing humanitarian aid to those in need overseas
• Short term mission trips
• Live-Stream of church services to Russian speaking people throughout the world

Areas of Opportunity for Slavic Churches: 

• Most efforts are directed at being on mission in former Slavic countries
• Very little is done to reach with the gospel, people who live in “Jerusalem,’ aka, U.S.
• 90% of missionaries are living in Slavic countries
• 10% of missionaries are in different countries
• 0% of missionaries are in the U.S.
• 80% of resources go to fund missionaries in Slavic countries.
• 20% of resources go to spreading the gospel here in the U.S.
• Main reason for growth in Slavic churches was due to immigration.
• Because influx of immigrants ceased, so did the increase of membership.

But I do believe that there is a part of this solution that needs to be implemented in the Slavic Churches located in America.
