Slavic Gospel Association Inc. (SGA) is a mission which serves Bible-preaching churches in the lands of the former Soviet Union, by helping equip national pastors and church planting missionaries reach their people with the Gospel.
The word 'Slavic' identifies a number of nations in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Slavic nationalities include: Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Serbians, Montenegroes, Bosnians, Croatians, Slovenians, Bulgarians and Macedonians. The Australian office, which is part of an international network, mainly supports work in Russia, Ukraine and Central Asia.
To communicate with supporters, SGA produces Slavic Gospel News, a newsletter that is published bi-monthly and sent free of charge. Through it, we aim to bring to our readers attention various ministry projects, news items, testimonies and photographs which relate to the current situation in the former USSR and how together we can help reach the nations with the Good News of Jesus Christ and His ministry of compassion.
You can subscribe to receive copies of our newsletter by either post or email. Churches can request multiple copies of the newsletter for regular distribution to their congregations.
