Connect with Ufa!

Throughout the World, the Body of Christ is connected! When I first heard this fact, I thought "How is that possible?". People speak different languages and have different customs that can be difficult for others to understand. Some of our countries are constantly at odds. So, how can believers, say, in the interior of Russia be connected with believers in the heartland of America? Especially if that American has never been to Russia or vice versa. I certainly don't totally understand this phenomenon of the connectedness of believers, but I don't have to look any further than scripture to see that it is true! God has seen to it that believers in every corner of every continent are part of one body. Look at Paul's letters to the churches in Rome, Corinth, Thessalonica, Galatia...etc. Take a good look, particularly, at his greetings and farewells/final instructions. You will see that he tells the churches to pray for one another. He encourages them by telling them they are part of the Body of Christ and are therefore connected to believers all over the world. In the first century, with its limited communication, this must have been a huge concept for some people to grasp! Yet, Paul conveyed this idea consistently throughout his letters.

It is this idea of believers being connected that has lead us to create this blog with the theme of 'connect'. We are not producing a blog for blogging's sake. It is our purpose to show our readers that they are connected to a larger body. We want to emphasize the connections being made by believers with non-believers in Ufa, Russia and in all of the Republic of Bashkortostan. We want to connect readers in other parts of the globe with believers in Ufa. We want believers to pray for the work that God is doing among the people living here.

Our posts will include church planting articles, guest posts from local believers in Ufa, other mission related topics, and updates on what God is doing in Ufa. So, we invite you to subscribe to our blog, be a regular visitor and maybe you will see the way YOU can be connected to Ufa, Russia.
