Program areas at Mission Eurasia

"I Care" Refugee Assistance Program/GIK - Mission Eurasia distributes humanitarian aid (GIK) in Ukraine and throughout Eurasia to provide holistic care for those in need. Each year, our School Without Walls (SWW) leaders, in partnership with local churches and volunteers, reach hundreds of thousands of people for Christ by bringing them desperately needed clothing, food, wheelchairs, medicine, and other items. In 2023, through iCare-Ukraine, we provided humanitarian aid for more than 2.7 million displaced and refugees from Ukraine through our refugee assistance centers in Poland and Moldova and our regional ministry hubs in Ukraine.
Gift of Hope - In 2023, our SWW leaders and other ministry volunteers distributed 100,000 Gifts of Hope-brightly colored boxes filled with sweets, toys, school and hygiene supplies, warm mittens or socks, and a children's Bible or other Christian literature, to needy children in six countries of Eurasia during the Christmas season.
Publishing - Each year, Mission Eurasia prints and distributes a variety of specialized Scripture pieces in Russian, Ukrainian, and other national languages for the people of Eurasia. In 2022-2023, a total of 1,037,054 copies of Scripture were printed and distributed primarily to the victims of war from Ukraine. Scripture versions included New Testaments, My First Bible, Action Bible New Testament, Jesus Storybook Bible, Gospels of John, Light magazine and Hope magazine. In addition, we printed and distributed 915,210 copies of Christian literature, including devotionals for children and teens. Finally, Mission Eurasia helped to cultivate a Next Generation of Christian authors within Eurasia through our National Christian Authors Series. Through this program, we oversaw the publication and distribution of titles that enable young leaders in Eurasia to present solutions to the challenges facing the evangelical church and society at large in their homeland. We also used these titles in our SWW program, NGPLI conferences, and pastoral training seminars. One of these titles, My War Story, contains the stories of 19 courageous Ukrainian believers who have risen above the pain of war to share their stories of survival, resilience, bravery, service, and hope.
School Without Walls (SWW)/Next Generation Professional Leaders Initiative (NGPLI) - Mission Eurasia uses these flexible, non-formal leadership training programs to equip Next Generation Christian leaders in Eurasia and Israel to transform their communities, workplaces, and nations for Christ. More specifically, SWW and NGPLI provide Next Generation leaders and young professionals with biblical wisdom, leadership training, and practical, hands-on ministry experience. In 2022-2023, Mission Eurasia trained 1,260 young leaders from 14 countries in Eurasia and Israel through SWW. In addition, SWW training centers were opened in 30 new locations. In 2022-2023, NGPLI trained more than 4,000 young professionals, including medical professionals and trauma counselors, to provide physical assistance and trauma healing for the people of Ukraine suffering from the war in their homeland.
