For New York City is indeed a work in progress for Chosen People Ministries. Russian Ministries on the Move One of the most fruitful corners of the concrete harvest field of New York City has been the growing Russian community. As their population in New York has increased, our ministry to the Jewish people of the former Soviet Union has kept pace.
Evangelism continues to be the number one priority.
Street evangelism is constantly taking place, with follow-up and home visits with those who express interest. Those with whom we keep contact sometimes go on to visit Messianic congregations, where they continue to receive ministry. One encouraging sign that holds great promise has been the growth of the Chosen People Ministries home-based Bible studies and fellowship groups that have been springing up in various Russian neighborhoods in Brooklyn and in Queens. These settings allow seekers to ask questions and they also provide an environment for believers to be discipled and to grow. Another visible expression of Gospel outreach is the Russian Community Life Center located in the heart of the Jewish community in Brooklyn.
