Introduction

Russian Jewish are ethnically Jewish, but speak Russian. During the time of the Soviet Union, some went from Russia to other Soviet Socialist Republics such as Azerbaijan. Most have moved to Israel. Few in number, they are still precious in the Lord’s sight.

Ministry Obstacles

Russians used Christianity as an excuse to persecute their Jewish population. This has left a barrier between the Jewish population and the gospel of grace.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray for a spiritual hunger among Russian Jews that will lead them to the cross.
Pray that God would grant Jewish believers favor as they share their faith in Christ with Jewish.
Pray that strong local churches would be raised up in each Jewish community, particularly those in Azerbaijan.
