Eurasia

Eurasia Full MapEurasia encompasses 23 countries with more than 329 million people. There are atheists, Muslims, and many from the Orthodox religious tradition. Yet, across all of these countries, the average percentage of evangelical Christians is a tiny 1.8 percent. Thousands of villages don't even have an Orthodox church. The need compels us to provide Scriptures and training so that millions can experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
