Russia (MNN) – It’s been a year-and-a-half of growth since the Slavic Gospel Association launched its long-term, frontier ministry—the Reach Russia Now initiative. And since then, SGA has seen the initiative cultivate from a dream and into a ministry.

Far East Russia is the final third of the country, stretching to the Pacific Ocean, and is made up of many different people groups who share both the country and the Russian language.

Speaking of the land mass size, Far East Russia is roughly the same size as the continental 48 states of the United States.
