If this situation continues, we will lose effectiveness in our work. Sometimes we judge by papers, by reports. Sad as it is, if you don't know how to keep books, then whatever you do will not be reflected in reports. There is great potential for Westerners to teach us church administration, church management, and accounting. That is where I believe Russian Christians need help.
Western missionaries can provide that help.
The time of mass rallies is gone. All missionary organizations need now to emphasize educational programs as a means of reaching people for Christ. I must admit that people are not very fond of education in our churches and there are several reasons for that. One is that we simply don't know how to put together an educational program, how to establish a class of instruction for non-Christians. On the other hand, we don't have high-quality materials.
