Russian Speakers of Eastern Europe

Lonely, Russian-speaking men of all ages live in Pilgrim City. Some work to send money home to their families who live in Russian-speaking countries. Others who were injured in the war attempt to heal and put their lives back together. Old men who fled when the war began find themselves lingering in a foreign land without purpose while young men, boys, and teens who are left without fathers are living with their moms or grandmas. All are trying to make sense of life. How will these men hear the good news? Please pray for a local Russian-speaking church as they launch a men’s ministry called “Bear Cave!” Right now, a basement is being remodeled where the men can meet. When finished, the small space will have a woodshop with tools and wood for handmade projects, a group area with couches and refreshments, and an activity zone with a punching bag, pull-up bar, and dart board. Pray that the remodeling gets completed before September so the church’s men can host teen groups for boys, as well as small groups, Fatherhood groups, and discipleship and prayer groups for men this fall. Pray that many Russian speakers will be reached for Christ through this ministry.
