Welcome to FEA! We give God praised and thanks that you are here today. May you be ministered unto by Him.
This past week, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, officially signed into law a measure which is aimed at punishing any kind of religious evangelization outside of churches. Some observers have called it one of the most restrictive moves ever in post-Soviet history. The law, which is intended to curtail the spread of terrorism and extremism, has also been approved by the Russian Parliament’s upper chamber. It prohibits the sharing of faith in any place that is not a government-sanctioned house of worship.
Several Christian groups in Russia have already spoken out against the draconian measures, with the Seventh-day Adventist’s Moscow-based Euro-Asia Division stating that it is almost impossible for religious believers to comply with these requirements. Dr. Hannu Haukka, president of Great Commission Media Ministries, said that as a result of this legislation being approved, “the religious situation in the country will grow considerably more complicated and many believers will find themselves in exile and subjected to reprisals because of our faith.” He further said, “The church is appalled at the news of the new law. About 7,000 evangelical/protestant churches are in fasting and prayer at the moment over the news.”
Under this new law, foreign missionaries will not be allowed to preach in any church unless they have a work permit from the Russian authorities. Also any kind of discussion about God with unbelievers would be considered missionary activity and punishable by law. Religious activities even in private homes will not be allowed. Even more appalling, is the fact that anyone from the age of 14 found be preaching in public will be subject to prosecution, and every citizen is required to report religious activity to the authorities, or face punishment himself.
We, the church in the free world, must now give ourselves to prayer and intercession for our brothers and sisters in Russia. Let us pray that in the face of this new iron curtain of persecution the church will be victorious as God intends for His church to be. Remember what Jesus said, “…I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Mat. 16: 18). This is nothing more than persecution of Christians under the guise of preventing terrorism.
