Russian Speakers of Eastern Europe

Meeting people and developing relationships that lead to sharing the gospel can be a daunting task anywhere in the world. In Europe, one believer decided to use social media and her desire to improve her Russian to make connections. After posting a message online for a language exchange partner with a native Russian speaker, she received several replies. Three women met with the believer in person at different times over several weeks but only one, a Central Asian in her early 30s, desired to meet consistently. Rangula is a Central Asian woman who lives in Europe. Over several weeks, Rangula and the believer met and discussed many subjects in English and Russian including beliefs about God. Rangula’s European husband is Protestant, and her parents are nominal Muslims, but Rangula is indifferent. She is open to discussing spiritual things but does not initiate spiritual conversations. Rangula listened attentively, correcting the grammar mistakes as the believer talked about her beliefs, shared her testimony, and discussed her involvement in her local church. Please ask for the believer to have more opportunities to talk about Jesus with Rangula. Pray that Rangula will see she needs a Savior, repent, and share her faith with her entire family in Europe and Central Asia.
