(Russia)–Reaching lost students in Siberia is turning an evangelistic corner. Mission Network News’ Greg Yoder is there. “Peter, Eric and Kara Coe have served Campus Crusade For Christ in Irkutsk for the better part of five years. Coe says The JESUS Film Project has played a key part in their evangelistic outreach. “Here in Siberia, there are over 50 unreached people groups that still live within the borders of Russia. We also have Mongolians. We have Turkish students. We have Chinese students. To be able to share with them the Gospel in their own language, they can see and hear the words of Christ.” Coe says former students are now joining the team in Irkutsk, which will make evangelism more successful. “Having Russians has made a world of difference in our ministry. It’s given us examples as foreigners of things that will work and things that won’t work. And, has really let us know much better what our target audience needs to hear in order to fully understand the Gospel.” Greg Yoder, Mission Network News, Irkutsk, Russia.”
