Lithuania

Religious freedom in the post-Soviet era has stimulated growth in the number of Christians in Lithuania. Evangelical churches are growing, even though they face some discriminatory policies. Traditional denominations are favored in terms of land purchasing, zoning, taxation policies, fi nancial support from the state and offi cial registration. One significant issue faced by the growing Lithuanian church is a lack of trained leaders.

Our primary area of mission in Lithuania is leadership training, social ministry to the disabled and youth from asocial homes & church planting within the Free Christian Church of Lithuania.

Please pray:

• That LCC International University and Evangelical Bible Institute may be used to raise up godly, well-educated and visionary leaders for the nation
• For Christoph and Antonia Hagele as they teach and mentor new leaders
• That the MB churches in Lithuania will be used strategically by the Lord to advance His Kingdom in that nation
