Belarus in
Partnership with
Fairfax Presbyterian Church
We
are in partnership with Minsk Bethlehem Church in Minsk, Belarus,
a republic in the former Soviet Union.
In
1991 and 1995, we sent mission teams to support this new congregation
and we provide annual funding for Bethlehem's full time deacon supporting
his evangelical efforts of calling on the residents of the large
housing complexes that surround the church.
The
Bethlehem church building is now complete as well as the Sunday
school classrooms, cafeteria and kitchen. The project has been expanded
to include a nursing home for the elderly and a seminary. The church
has grown, with 160 adults and Sunday School attendance increasing.
The Bethlehem Church is now starting a new congregation about 40
miles from Minsk which is supplied by members of the Bethlehem Church.
