When communism fell, Mikhail Gorbechov told evangelical leaders from the West to come and..."bring a Bible in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other." Things have gotten better for some, but there is still a vast number of people who need a little help.
We can't help them all, but BMI works with the churches to bring aid where they can and the Gospel with it.
Food, clothing, shoes, wheel chairs, walkers, medicine. It's all part of our overall strategy to reach those who are far from God with the Good News.
