Help To Reap The Harvest

Help to reap the harvest today
Who is best at harvesting precious souls for the kingdom of God? The answer is very clear – national believers. This is why SGA’s declared aim is to assist the Church in Eastern Europe to become fully equipped to fulfil the great commission amongst its own people.
...but they need our help!

Currently we have supported hundreds of workers financially and many are now in self-supporting church situations. However, many others may have to miss great opportunities to reap that harvest because of economic hardship and inflation in their home lands. Here are some examples of key workers across Eastern Europe who each need our urgent financial support today:

Cezary - Poland
Eleven years ago Cezary moved to a small town in the north west of Poland where unemployment was 31%, resulting in serious poverty. A church has been planted and weekly Bible studies have commenced in surrounding villages. This Church, like so many others, cannot support a pastor as most of the believers themselves struggle financially. SGA seeks to support Cezary and his family annually with £1,200

Nicolae - Romania
In 1990, just after the revolution Nicolae became the pastor of four village churches in Romania. Evangelism is very dear to his heart and he seeks to reach the people through many different means. We have made funds available to Nicolae for the purchase of a second-hand car to help him in all his ministries. He also serves on his denominational council. £800 annually brings much needed help to this one Romanian family who struggle financially.

Radoslav - Bulgaria
Shortly after his conversion, Radoslav did his national service in the town of Bankja where he led an underground Bible study. Today he is pastoring a church in his home town of Bourgas. SGA’s financial support of £100 each month is so vital for his continued ministry. As he seeks to see the church flourish, he also has a vision to reach the sailors and marine students in the port of Burgas with the Gospel.

Galina - Moldova
Christian camp director, Galina, is one of the students at the SGA Bible School in Moldova. Each year she organises children’s and youth camps, where 900 children attend. She also organises camps for the elderly. Some camps are planned for handicapped children only. This ministry requires a team of forty workers who seek to share the Good News of the Gospel. Galina wants to be better equipped for this ministry as she studies at the Mission School. To support just one student like Galina is only £35 per month.

Jonathan - Hungary
For six years Jonathan has been working in Gyongyos (pop. 35,000) and has experienced real blessing, as the little church has grown to around 30 people under his leadership. He rejoices in the opportunities open to him to share the Gospel and he regularly preaches on television. Outreach is also carried out through English classes. Jonathan has a vision to see six new churches planted in the surrounding region where there is currently no evangelical witness. SGA continues his support of £1000 annually.
