Pastors need your support

The increasing number of children, families, and individuals coming to SGA-supported churches and ministries has created an urgent need for more resource.

Welcome | Добро пожаловать | Ласково просимо

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.

Summer Camp for Orphans

When you help children meet Jesus at Summer Bible Camps, you are providing a unique opportunity for SGA-supported churches to bring kids out of the chaos of their lives.

There are games and campfires – but the main focus is on God, His Word, and the Gospel.

Help churches respond to the incredible surge of hurting souls and ministry opportunities

In the past, sister in Christ Anna was a Sunday school teacher in her church in Kherson. This is what remained of the church building after another enemy shell hit.

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.

Summer Bible Camps grew by 25 percent.
Immanuel’s Child Christmas outreach to children grew by 25 percent
Orphans Reborn is likewise growing rapidly.
Ukraine churches often went from 20 percent full before the war to 120 percent!

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!

An Amazing Winter Camp With Orphans

Early in the morning of January 1st, our team set out for the mountains with children from orphanages and residential care (social) orphans. There were about 120 of us, and we spent the entire week together in the mountains.
It was a week that’s hard to describe. A week of depth, intimacy, and the true presence of God.
From the very beginning, we set a goal: for the children to immerse themselves in the biblical story during this week—from the birth of Jesus to His resurrection and His personal call to follow Him. We wanted this to be more than just a series of meetings, but a solid foundation for their future lives …

Physically Tired Yet Glowed With Joy – Summer 2025

The summer period is divided into ‘before’ and ‘after. For 20 years now, we have been holding a regional youth festival. Teenagers from churches in our region gather here. Every year, there were more teenagers, and time and circumstances sent new challenges in ministry. Every year, God performed incredible miracles, He led us through different circumstances, where we, as a team, saw many miracles …

Heat and Hope for Churches in Ukraine

I am truly grateful for your faithful support of our churches, especially during this past winter.
This season brought many difficulties for all churches in our area, including severe cold and frequent blackouts.

As a regional pastor overseeing more than 20 sister churches, I have the privilege of supporting and coordinating our shared ministry. We continue to hold regular meetings, organize outreach efforts, and stand together in mutual support …

Aid to the Embattled in Orekhovsky County, Ukraine

“Today we were in the Orekhovsky district, ministering to people in the village of Tavricheskoe. We brought people groceries, bread, medicine, hygiene products, and diapers for the disabled.

It’s very cold now, but we were able to hold a service and distribute aid. We also visited some elderly people at home and gave firewood.”

Never Feel Forgotten

For children who are living in war-torn Ukraine, SGA-supported ‘Immanuel’s Child’ celebrations became more than the gifts and the games. It became a small piece of ‘normal’ for them.
Life for these children on most days and nights can be filled with fear and anxiety, always waiting for the next air-raid siren or to be awakened by the loud noises of rockets or drones …

“You came . . . and with you, came God”

Three years ago, we met a family whose life was hanging by a thread. They were living in a small summer house on the outskirts of town—a temporary place they had rented for a short time.

But the owners told them they had to leave soon because the house was going to be demolished to make way for new construction. When the time came to move out, they had nowhere to go …

The Life of a Ukrainian Army Chaplain

“There are callings a person never plans and yet, looking back, can’t imagine missing.” That is how Dmytro describes his journey.
He never dreamed of becoming a military chaplain. He didn’t imagine himself in uniform, holding a Bible in a dugout, or whispering prayers in hospital rooms heavy with the smell of smoke and loss. But as he looks back on the path of his life—conscripted military service, theological training, faithful church ministry—he now sees what he couldn’t see then: God was preparing him long before the war began …

To Walk Forward Through Dark Trials

The pathway of drugs and alcohol leads one down a very dark and lonely road. A place where light does not shine. A place of shame and regret. A place of hopelessness. However, when our eyes are opened to the light of the Gospel, things change. It doesn’t happen instantly, but little by little the pathway becomes brighter. We see light begin to shine through the darkness. Hope becomes real through the reading of God’s Word, fellowshipping with other believers, and giving our lives over to prayer …

God’s Love For Us Through You

At a time in which the Russian Army appears to be pressing an advance in the Zaporozhe and Kherson regions (November-25), we were able to assist a church on the front lines in Kherson. Through support from Ukraine Relief, 100 families were given potatoes for the winter. At times there is only 2 hours of electricity, yet these potatoes can be cooked up over a fire. Read a pastor’s thank you letter and be encouraged that through your faithful efforts the Gospel is going forward and the faithful churches we serve are equipped and encouraged …
