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.
Colour Your World - and theirs!

WATCH NOW:
Orphans, abused children, and war refugees have no hope . . . unless Christians reach them with the Gospel.
Secularism, cynicism, addiction, trafficking, and crime all beckon to them.
But these ‘hopeless’ kids light up when SGA-supported church workers create outreach events at Christmas-time and beyond.
God opens their hearts to Jesus.
Through Orphans Reborn events, girls and boys—often forgotten or unwanted—hear about their Saviour and get plugged in to biblically sound churches.
Help us to send the SGA teams again this Christmas.

Help churches respond to the incredible surge of hurting souls and ministry opportunities
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!
News and Stories from the Mission Field
I was a master of hypocrisy
Sasha was born in Russia. He never knew his father. His mother was an alcoholic, and he was often left on the street, forgotten by his mother.
Sasha lived in Siberia, and when his mother left home drunk in the winter, he would go looking for her. Often, he wore only shorts, a jacket and thin slippers. He often got frostbite on his extremities and now he still has problems with his legs because of this …
Summer Camp Report from Ukraine
Greetings from the Bible Church of Hostomel!
We would like to share with you the blessing of organising a day camp for children. This is already the third summer camp since the Biblical Church of Hostomel began its activities in 2022 after the de-occupation of Hostomel. The camp lasted for 5 days, from July 2nd to July 6th …
I do not have a Father. Could you be mine for now?
Our working camps take place three times a year during school breaks. Children get themselves prepared in advance for these difficult but joyful workdays. In the camps, they are able to develop patience, focus, and the ability to manage their time and energy. The teenagers understand that a difficult life awaits them, and we want to help them prepare for it.
From a ‘Hopeless Start’ to a ‘Victory Crown.’
Olga has three children. She was married for 13 years and was in an abusive relationship for 12 of those years. A year after their wedding, she found out that her husband was a drug addict. He kept her at bay all these years. During this time, three children were born. It was hell on earth. He never gave her money. Even for personal hygiene items. She often asked neighbours for food to feed her children …
I asked that God would help me to be obedient to my Mum
We have received many wonderful reports and testimonies from our missionary pastors through the years—some reporting on summer camp fruit, others with the fruit of Christmas ministry with children, Sunday schools, sports activities sponsored by the church, and a host of others. One exciting component that we often see in these reports is how the love shown to their children has drawn many parents and caregivers to hear the Gospel as well …
A Loud Voice from the Donbas
Pastor and church-planter Igor from Myrnohrad shares insight about life in one of the most difficult and darkest areas in Ukraine: the Donetsk region. Igor’s journey of faith began at the age of 15, when a friend invited him to church.
There, he read a brochure and understood that he was a sinner in need of a Saviour. Yet, it took him some years to come to the truth and knowledge of who God was. In fact, having been brought up in a very traditional church, he became ‘the strictest legalist in church’, and taught others of the ‘dangers’ of the colour red, dyed hair, and high heels.
