We need research and planning and thinking. One of the greatest needs is for our Western counterparts to realize that things have changed and so there is a need for a change in strategy. Western missions as a rule simply send missionaries to our country and they preach the gospel at all kinds of churches. This is good, but I do not think this is the most effective way of doing things today. It will be much cheaper and more cost-effective in the spiritual sense.
Some organizations are interested in financing only local ministries.
I think this is another extreme. When Western missions give money with no control over where the money goes, then local Russians do not always have the necessary skills to organize the process. They are not being trained. Some of them lack responsibility. They don't know accounting methods.
