RUSSIA

Leaders from the Union of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of Russia gathered recently to address the issue of unity among evangelicals in Russia. Participants not only discussed working together with different groups and denominations, but also addressed the differences between the older generation of believers and the new generation of young Christian leaders. “Today’s young Christian leaders understand that they stand on a foundation that was forged through suffering and persecution,” points out Sergey Rakhuba, vice-president of ministries at Russian Ministries. “As the older generation of Christians passes on its wisdom and experience, the next generation of believers is ready to pick up the baton of leadership and run the race God has for them.” (ASSIST News Service)
