What's New

In June, the choirs and orchestras of First Baptist Church, Farmington, MO and Oak Grove Baptist Church, Oak Grove, MO, led an evangelism tour in the Republic of Belarus. They performed in nine venues in the country where in 2006 the Belarusian government came down hard on the Belarusian national leaders who participated in that national tour.

In April, John Jackson meet with pastors in Vilnius, Lithuania, for an update on our ministry and to do a needs assessment for these metro churches. We have established a strong relational base there and a open dialogue that is respected by both sides.

John also led a worship development event in Kaunas which reached new people and churches. John was joined by worship strategist Ron Man of Memphis, Tennessee, who represented Greater Europe Mission. You can get more information by going to our blog.

In April, John Jackson, Ron Man of Greater Europe Mission, Steve Benham from Liberty University and Richard Mauney of Jubilate in Romania led the three day Worship Summit at Central Baptist Church of Kiev, Ukraine.
