Yoshkar-Ola Christian Center- Russia

In the summer of 1993 ,a team of 38 people left GTCOTR for Russia where they conducted evangelistic street meetings and evening crusades. Hundreds received Christ and Yoshkar-Ola Christian Center (YOCC) began. Pastor Sergey was converted in the early days of these first meetings. Today, YOCC is a thriving and regionally influential church. Last year Pastor Sergey installed another pastor in YOCC, and moved his family to the city of Kazan to begin a new church. Kazan has Russia's largest concentration of Muslims. This year Dr. and Mrs. Hammonds visited Pastor Sergey and taught many hundreds of pastors and leaders in churches and conferences in a number of strategic cities in Russia, including Yoshkar-Ola and Kazan.

TV and DVD Player

Televisions and DVD players help children's teachers, leaders, and pastors teach the eternal truths of God's Word.
Yoshkar-Ola Christian Center was a pioneer in video ministry to churches all over Russia, facilitating the duplication and distribution of a complete video Bible College Curriculum which had been translated into Russian.
Those early efforts continue to be utilized in the training of the new generations of Christian leaders and pastors in many churches in many cities, and the need continues for new equipment.
Thank you for helping train the children and leaders in the truth of the gospel for the years to come.
