Eurasia Community

Dushanbe, Tajikistan. A city with a small-town feel, set against the rugged Pamir mountains — where people love long conversations over hot tea and the gospel is urgently needed.

The May–June 2027 internship is an invitation to adventure to the rooftop of the world and share the love of Jesus with a people waiting to hear it.

One night during trip, Central Eurasia global workers were handing out food to hotel guests and staff in a war zone. They crossed paths with a man from Sudan and a woman from Morocco and they were deeply interested in Jesus. It was the first time either of them had ever met a true Christian.

They asked question after questions. They read scripture together. Every answer opened a new door. Well past midnight, the man asked if they could meet again — he had more questions. They did meet again, and spent six and a half hours together in conversation.

By the end, the 33-year-old Sudanese man downloaded the Bible in his heart language and joyfully received a Fire Bible. He still carries many questions — but he was captivated, especially by testimonies of freedom from demonic oppression and real encounters with Christ.
"We are in awe of all God has done — in us, in a war zone, and in those around us."

For the first time in history, Moroccans can read the full Bible in their own dialect — and you can be part of making it possible.

For generations, Muslims in Morocco have only encountered Scripture in formal Arabic, a language that felt distant and difficult to connect with. But this year, the first full Bible in Moroccan Arabic — known as Darija, the language of everyday life — was completed and printed. When people open its pages, something shifts.

One reader described it simply: "God speaks like my friend."

For just $12, you can place one Bible into the hands of someone in Morocco who has been waiting their whole life to encounter God's Word in a language they truly understand.

What does it look like to serve as a global worker in a Central Eurasian context?

During summer 2027 trip to Kyrgyzstan, you'll step into the rhythm of life on a training team, visit a rural church, and serve in a VBS-style kids camp — all while asking God what your part is in what He's doing in this land.

Join us in praying for Central Eurasia:
The church is taking root — pray for the formation and strengthening of AG churches in Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.

These fellowships stand on the front lines of one of the least-reached regions on earth, and they need your prayers to grow deep and hold firm.

In the middle of a war zone, Central Eurasia global workers found themselves exactly where God intended.

Every day became an assignment — hospital hallways, bomb shelters, hotel lobbies — each one an opportunity to bring comfort through the gospel. In two weeks, God led them to 69 people and 80 gospel conversations from people across more than 15 nations.

One moment stood out. A Muslim man from Iraq heard the words of life and downloaded the Bible on his phone.
He said: "In wartime, Muslims become Christians. We're all Christians now. We know Jesus is the one who will actually answer our prayers."
This is what it looks like when God sends workers into impossible places. 🙏

Central Eurasia is one of 9 areas within the region of Eurasia — and one of the most spiritually urgent.

Home to 495 million people across 11 nations, 97% of the population belongs to one of 827 unreached people groups. With Islam as the dominant religion and 75 of those groups still entirely unengaged, hundreds of millions of people have little to no access to the Gospel. The need for workers, prayer, and the message of Jesus has never been greater.

Want to go explore a life in missions?

The Live Dead Russia Intensive is a 10-day experience in Moscow where you'll learn about evangelism, church planting, and the 88 unreached people groups from Muslim, Buddhist, and Shamanist backgrounds — and then go into the city, sharing the gospel with people who may never have heard it before.

📅 October 11–20, 2026 — Open
📅 March 2027 (dates TBD) — Open

A while back, we asked you to pray for our friend Tariq. He and his friend had been studying the Bible together, praying together, wrestling through questions together — but Tariq couldn't quite take that final step. He described it himself: "I see all my friends swimming, and I want to swim so badly. But I just can't get all the way into the water right now."

Then one night, at a gospel presentation, the invitation was given for people to respond — and Tariq was standing right next to his friend. He reached out and grabbed his arm with one hand, and with the other, he raised it.

Tariq gave his life to the Lord that night. And this past Easter, they had the joy of watching him get baptized.

God is so faithful. Thank you for praying. 🙏🎉

A new chapter is being written in the neighborhood of Kristiine, Estonia. A team there is looking to partner with a local church to plant a new Estonian-speaking congregation — and the early signs are really encouraging. In January they held two trial services in a café, gathering honest feedback from 12 trusted Estonian friends about what this kind of church community could look like. The response has them excited about what's ahead.

This is missions at its best — not building something foreign and dropping it into a culture, but walking alongside local people to grow something that is truly theirs. Pray for this partnership, for the neighborhood of Kristiine, and for a church to take root there that will reach Estonians for generations to come.
