On May 20th in Atlanta there will be a Celebration Dinner to benefit some of Campus Crusade's national (non-American) missionaries from Eastern Europe. This dinner will be a support raising catalyst for those missionaries who already have a support base in Georgia. 28 missionaries from 7 countries will be in attendance. The evening will feature "changed lives" testimonials and videos as well as stories of what the Lord is doing across the former Soviet Bloc countries. We hope it will be a God-glorifying event that encourages and gives vision to those who attend.

Not only is Europe today the most secular society in history (according to The International Herald Tribune), Europe is also the only continent in the world where the Christian church is not growing. The church in Eastern Europe is young; this being the first generation of believers after Communism killed or silenced most Christians. The Lord has raised up a generation of young Eastern Europeans who have a heart for their God and for their homeland. For now, they are dependent on the resources of the American church to help them re-evangelize Eastern European universities and communities where, as Jesus said, "the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few," (Matthew 9:37).

Our Lord has said that it is better to give than to receive (Acts 20:35) and He teaches us to lay up treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20). As the American church partners with Christians in Eastern Europe, everyone wins. American Christians are blessed, Eastern European churches are empowered, the gospel is proclaimed and our Lord receives the glory He so richly deserves.

If you would like to attend the dinner or sign up for a day on our 40 day prayer chain for Eastern Europe, please contact me and I can direct you further. Thank you for being a blessing to our family and the work of the gospel in far away places!

Some of our national staff who will be attending the Atlanta Celebration Dinner will be posting by the end of April promotional videos introducing themselves, their ministries and their country. The first one is already completed and posted. Here it is…
