Sometimes people find it difficult to witness Good News, don't know how to approach people, where to start. There is an excellent resource website at http://www.vergenetwork.org. You may find a lot of useful ideas for mission and discipleship ministry there. All those materials are available after registration for a free membership.
What can you do if you do not know the language of the people who live next to you, but the heart is burning with the desire to share the Gospel? Or you do know the language, but you do not have experience of talking to unbelievers? There is a solution which is accessible to every person, and that is Evangelism through the Gospel tracts which can be handed out without using any words.
Many people do not know that a well-known believer Nicolay Aleksandroich Vodneskiy believed the gospel through a Gospel tract. Realizing that little brochures with great news of salvation do work, throughout his life he did whatever he could to share the Gospel through the printed media. Anyone of us can also do this.
Where can you get these tracts? There are a few sources:

Many conservative Christians are concerned about how God is depicted in contemporary churches, and the methods that the churches use in order to attract people to church. Oftentimes the methods that the churches use have nothing in common with Christianity. People are incentivized to come to church but are not led to Christ, to God.
“Millions of Russians for Christ” was the original motto of the Russian Christian Radio, organized and overseen by the father of Yarl Nikolayevich Peysty, Nikolay Ivanivich Peysty. This ministry exists to this day, and has truly helped millions of people come to God.
The internet can sometimes seem so overwhelming that it is sometimes difficult to find something if you are not sure how to enter the right search. From time to time, we will provide information about useful Christian resources that may benefit our readers. In the current article, we will provide the addresses of the websites of similar unions and associations of ECB:
How often it is that we hear a truth, agree with it at first glance, and then neglect to look into our own hearts. Many of you have shared that it’s been helpful to analyze your own life when specific questions are brought up during the sermon.
The recent news that one of the prominent ministers of the church had committed suicide shocked many, encouraged some in the war against the church, and perhaps seriously puzzled some.

Happy Thanksgiving dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
Essentially, Thanksgiving is a Christian holiday! We are expressing our gratitude to God who gives life and grows the vegetation.

He continues to care for us every day of our lives!
