300,000 Bibles to Russia

Churches in Russia order 300,000 Bibles

Two years ago GCM Ministries received an order from Russia’s churches for 5 million high-quality mega city campaign booklets. These books have been produced and used by GCM Ministries in over 80 major cities of the world. The attractive booklets contain powerful transformation stories, the 4 spiritual laws and a road map to new life in Jesus. We printed 3.9 million copies including 400,000 copies of the Gospel of John.

Over 2,300 churches in Russia sent teams to the highways, by-ways, towns and villages of Russia using this literature as their primary tool for one-on-one evangelism. The result has been spectacular. GCM Ministries president Hannu Haukka met with Senior Presbyter and Bishop Grabovenko who reported that over one million people have prayed the prayer of salvation. To date, between 2013 – 2014 over one thousand new churches have been planted. This year another 500 are expected to be planted. A fervent request for evangelistic tools produced an epic harvest in Russia.

This epic harvest, in turn, has generated an epic need. As Hannu met with Bishop Grabovenko In the home town of famous Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky, in Votkinsk, Grabovenko requested 300,000 copies of large print Russian Bibles for these newly founded churches—as soon as possible. “They now need the whole Word of God,” says Bishop Grabovenko. The price of one Bible is $3 USD delivered to its destination. One hundred dollars will take 33 Bibles to newly founded Churches.

GCM Ministries printed and delivered 3.9 million evangelistic books and Gospels of John. The book is in use massively in outreach by churches, from St. Petersburg in the west to Vladivostok, on the Pacific east coast of Russia.

A pastor in Siberia told us that today they have run out of books. Their church planted two dozen new churches. He also reported that almost 200 people came to Christ in a single service held in a small village.

There is great spiritual hunger in the towns and villages across Russia. It reminds us of the move of the Holy Spirit shortly after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Once again whole families are coming to Christ. The largest meeting halls in the towns and villages are packed with people seeking God.
