Story number 5 for 5 Apr 2002

(Russia) — And finally, The Christian and Missionary Alliance is partnering with the Evangelical Christian Missionary Union, or ECMU, to plant a church near the Black Sea. According to the C&MA there is no church of any kind in Abinsk, a city of about 50-thousand people. Members of an ECMU church in nearby Krimsk, distributing Bibles and Christian literature at the outdoor food market, hope to use music and drama as a way to interest people in the Gospel. This model of church multiplication may inspire increased outreach in the region.
