Tim in Chuvashia




Tim and partner Marc are doing what they do in Chuvashia.
The Chuvash are the largest non-muslim people group (besides the Russians) in all of Russia.
Nearly 2 million.
Right now there are only 7 Baptist churches in the whole region. Only one of them uses the Chuvash language in part of their services.
There is NO native Chuvash church!
Unbelievable!
We are here gathering information, taking pictures and video, doing interviews and visiting cities and villages trying to understand more about how we can help reach the Chuvash with the Gospel.
In the next few days and weeks I will send you links to websites about these people and other places in Russia.
For now these pics must do - Momma Chuvash - and my impersonation of Momma Chuvash.
S'Bogum
Tim
