Partner with us as we share the gospel in the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, working to ensures that every person knows someone who is an evangelistic Christ-follower.
The Baltic nations sometimes call themselves the last pagan nations in Europe because they were the last to be conquered by the crusaders. In light of that, a strong undercurrent of paganism/nature worship and/or apathy still exists toward Christianity in many of these nations. In fact, Estonia is considered one of the most irreligious countries in the world. The evangelical presence in these nations is small, yet, there is a growing desire and movement towards evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
We invite you to partner with us to reach these “hard soil” places where God sees a harvest field. Your support will enable us to produce and distribute evangelism resources and provide discipleship training for national partners, thereby fostering evangelism, discipleship, and healthy church formation.
Over the next 12 to 24 months, we will work with national partners to restart a national church planting program, translate and publish new gospel resources, and mentor current and future pastors. Will you join us in helping local believers be a light in the spiritual darkness here in the Baltics?
Gifts toward specific efforts show us what you are excited about. Occasionally, we may redeploy gifts as we follow God's leading with urgent opportunities or changing international contexts. Any gifts received beyond the goal go toward a similar project or our team support.
Team Baltic Training and Equipping Resources
Your gift will invest in local partners and our own team members so we can thrive spiritually and bear fruit here in the Baltics. Your support will help us provide training opportunities and resources so that, together with our local partners, we can make disciples who make disciples.
Discipleship and Leadership Development Training
Over 1 million people in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania consider Russian their heart language. Many of these people do not have adequate access to the gospel, particularly in Russian. In addition, many of the existing churches do not have adequate leadership to oversee the existing churches. Your gift will address both needs in the local church through providing biblical discipleship and also theological educational materials to pastors.
Baltic Evangelism Society Translation Work
The Baltic Evangelism Society is an initiative that seeks to produce and host evangelism materials in the Baltic countries of the world. This is an initiative that began in 2024 and your gift will establish some basic digital tools, produce at least one evangelism tool, and at least one apologetic tool by spring of 2025.
Spiritual Disciplines in Latvian
There is a great need for Latvian resources on basic spiritual disciplines for believers. Your support will help us translate Dr. Donald Whitney's book Spiritual Disciplines for use in a local pastoral training program and help equip many other pastors, leaders, believers, and new Christians across Latvia.
Children's Discipleship Materials
There is a need for reproducible children's discipleship materials in the Lithuanian language. With your help, we can translate and distribute simple but theologically sound children's discipleship materials that will be available for free online.
