The Russian Federation is a complex grouping of republics, regions, territories and districts making up one of the worlds largest area with a population estimated to be 146,000 million. The great diversity of peoples, culture, economy and politics, Russia has been a challenging environment for Christians to freely be able to share the word of God. Although the freedom of religion is written into the constitution, there is no formal state church, although Orthodoxy’s 1000-year history as part of the Russian culture gives the church much political influence.

The Russians are a proud people. The collapse of Communism in 1990-91 answered many prayers and the break-up of the Soviet Union created many opportunities for evangelism, church planting and allowing for Christian outreach. The collapse of Communism also created many hardships for the Russian people. There remain daunting tasks for the Gospel of Christ to reach the many people. In a land where Godly Christian evangelical leaders are but few and where the challenge to train, equip Christian leaders with needed resources for teaching and church planting have many challenges , sharing the Word of God through broadcasting can reach many. Far East Broadcasting Co- Russia is believed to be the only broadcasting platform dedicated solely for bringing the message of Christ to the Russian speaking peoples. Our relationship with FEBC- Russia is one developing to bring the message of Jesus to people where they live. Our dramas and Bible Study Guides are conceptualized to share the Word in a storying format in ways which everyday people can understand and relate to. In a country where it is believed that 90% of Russians have no meaningful link with a church, in a society where the ills of poverty, alcoholism, homelessness, drug abuse, aids effect many including the many children who are high risk of violence and abuse and abandonment, our prayers and actions are focused on bringing the hope and love of Christ and that He will make a difference in the lives of many.
