Former Soviet Union

The Ukraine is an independent Republic since 1991. When the Iron Curtain came down, the borders were opened for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now almost 1 million of the 48 million inhabitants are Christians.

Koen and Ira Carlier are C4I co-ordinators for the Former Soviet Union (FSU): “Christians in the FSU have an enormous hunger for the truth. They like to read, but there is little teaching available about God’s relationship with the Jewish people and His plans with the nation of Israel. That is why we have translated the book “Why Israel?” into Russian and Ukrainian. In addition, we are developing Russian and Ukrainian language teaching programs for Church leaders and teachers, so that they will be better equipped to teach others about God’s love for His people.

There is a huge need for education in the FSU, but the people are poor and cannot afford to pay for information. We hope that Christians in the West will feel called to help us to carry out our plans for blessing the Church in the former Soviet Union.”

You can help!

Koen and Ira and their colleagues need your help to reach the churches in Europe with the message about God's love for Israel. We urge you to prayerfully consider partnering with Christians for Israel International to make their work possible.
