Since 1934 Slavic Gospel Association has been focused on helping Slavic churches reach their lands with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
These churches have been faithful even through periods of cruel persecution.
Our mission is to reach the former Soviet Union nations with the gospel through financial and prayer support to the local national Church Planters and Children’s Ministry Teams.
Here’s a video of one of many shipments sent to Ukraine by SGA.
The Christians in Ukraine see hardship as an opportunity to love as Jesus loves.
And they still need our help!

Here is a short video from the war zone. You will hear the explosions in the distance, see the destruction and hear what it means to be daily faithful.
Help churches respond to the incredible surge of hurting souls and ministry opportunities. The crises of 2022 — war, inflation, recession, mass refugee migration — opened a door for evangelism unlike any since the Soviet Union fell. A hunger for God was already growing in the former Soviet nations. Now it is keener than ever!
Our ministry is growing at a record rate. As a result, the increasing number of children, families, and individuals coming to SGA-supported churches and ministries has created an urgent need for more resources.
Together with our international offices we need to help more than 6,000 churches in our network in Ukraine and across other countries in the former Soviet Union. They must reach more people who desperately need to know Christ, grow in Him, and reach others for our Lord.
They need brothers and sisters in Christ, like you, to give generously to help answer these concerns.
Please pray that the Lord will glorify Himself through the lives of His people!

He is daily challenged with keeping the SGA supported ministries strong and fruitful, equipping and encouraging the missionary pastors throughout the regions and also attending to the business of running the ministry office.

The ministry to orphans is the work which was entrusted to us by the Lord, and we do this ministry daily with great trembling and joy! I will never stop giving thanks to God and you, our beloved brothers, and sisters, for this great help and support which you provide for us and our children …
“What do you think? Is all of Ukraine currently in a type of depression?” asked a lady from the Western country after hearing a lecture on trauma and its consequences. I took a breath before answering; because pictures of smoke, missiles, holes in buildings and the look in the eyes of my brothers and sisters in front-line cities popped up in my mind.
“We are working hard until the harvest season. God is in control!”
This story is about how the bright light of faith in children’s hearts burns in the darkness of sin and despair. Their mother grew up in an orphanage. She fell into bad company and became a drug addict. She remembers how we came to the orphanage and talked about Jesus. When we found her years later, she already had three children.
My name is Natalia. I was born and raised on the banks of the Dnipro river in Kherson. I worked there all my life. But because of the terrible war, I was forced to leave my home and, taking only the most necessary things, fled by evacuation train.
I did not know where that train would take me. I ended up in the Khmelnytsky region.
A couple of weeks ago, the Lord gave us an opportunity to visit the frontline territories. We arrived at Golaya-Pristan in southern Ukraine and were accommodated for a night’s rest. We formed several teams and went to places where there was no gas or electricity at all. People still try to survive there. We cooked pilaf, packed food sets, and went. There were about 50-60 people waiting for us at each point.
