This small group represents our hope for the model of a house church that will be necessary in order to rapidly expand God's kingdom  here in B-stan.  The concept of the house church is the most pure form of a New Testament church and is a key concept for reproducibility of the work here.  Reaching the young people of B-stan will be a key to transforming the republic

This picture illustrates  part of the Ufa-based research team for our media project.  They are all young well-educated believers who are  enthusiastic about their service to the Lord.

There is much moderate Islamic influence here in B-stan.  Christians and Moslems live in relative peace here, and yet our desire is for Jesus to personally reveal Himself to Islamic believers.
