Our Next Mission Trip:
April 23 - May 4 (tentative dates)

Goals:
In our mission to Belgorod, Russia, we are teaching a second-year seminary curriculum to 20 Russian Baptist pastors, training their wives to lead Bible Studies, and reaching out to brothers and sisters in Christ and their children (and orphans as well) in this formerly atheistic country. This effort will go on for at least another 4 years and is part of the Antioch Initiative; an evangelical program run by the Slavic Gospel Association in Chicago and the Union of Evangelical Christians—Baptist in Russia. Our overriding concern is to educate and motivate these pastors so that they may be equipped to credibly strengthen, train, and encourage our Russian brothers and sisters in carrying out the Great Commission in that huge land so bereft of Gospel preaching and teaching.

Team Leaders:

About Belgorod, Russia
Belgorod, city in southwestern Russia, capital of Belgorod Oblast, located on the upper Donets River about 30 km (about 20 mi) north of Russia's border with Ukraine. Belgorod is a busy administrative and industrial center. Iron ore mining was once the mainstay of the city's economy, but nearby limestone deposits are now more important. Manufactures in Belgorod use the limestone as a component in construction materials, including cement and reinforced concrete. Other industries produce electric machinery, food products, and nutritional supplements. Belgorod is served by a railroad running between Kharkiv, Ukraine, and Moscow. Belgorod has several technical training institutes, including one for the food industry. Museums of regional history and painting also are located in the city. The settlement of Belgorod was first chronicled in historical documents in the 13th century. In the late 16th century the Russian tsar established Belgorod as a military fortress, and in the 17th century it became part of a network of defense posts protecting Russia, especially Moscow, from Crimean Tatar attacks from the south. Population (1999 estimate) 336,900.
