“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.” – Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV)
In Russia, where faith has endured many trials, the Word of God continues to shine as a beacon of hope and truth. Today, we celebrate how the gospel is sparking a love for Scripture and inspiring believers to creatively share God’s Word with those around them.
Russia has a rich spiritual history marked by resilience. Despite past restrictions on religious freedom, many Russians hold a deep reverence for Scripture. The younger generation, especially, is finding innovative ways to share their faith through digital media, art, and storytelling. Programs like THRU the BIBLE in Russian provide a crucial resource for growing in biblical knowledge and equipping believers to sow God’s Word in creative and impactful ways.
A powerful story from Oleg in Russia:
“Thank you for your broadcasts, and for kindling love in me for the Word of God—and its Author!” said Oleg. “I don’t know if I’m totally right about this or not, but it seems to me that ‘the word of God is alive and active’ regardless of whether a person believes in it or not. It is an objective reality that does not depend on the reactions of people. So it is important to literally ‘sow’ the word of God. To share it through our words, through images, through videos…so that wherever people are, they get to see it.”
Oleg’s testimony reflects a profound understanding of the transformative power of God’s Word and the importance of spreading it in every possible way. To God be the glory for the creative ways He is using Russian believers to share His truth!
Let’s thank God for inspiring a deep love for His Word in Russia. May His living and active Word continue to bring hope and transformation to individuals and communities, and may He guide believers in sowing His truth far and wide.
Prayer Points:
- Pray for Russian believers to grow in their love and understanding of Scripture.
- Ask for wisdom and creativity as they share God’s Word through various media.
