Christians for Armenia

Global missions: The continuing task The need for the gospel in Armenia The ministry of Christians for Armenia Christians for Armenia

The Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, reveals a missionary program for God’s missionary church. This has not changed. Matt.28: Acts 1:8. Global missions: the task remains

“We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.” John Stott (1921 – 2011)

All nations... even Armenia

Ancient Armenia Mountains of Ararat (Gen.8:4) Kingdom of Ararat (2Kings 19:37, Is.37:38, Jer.51:27) “Armenia” mentioned in a Babylonian map from the 6 th century B.C.

Ancient Armenia Armenia was the first officially Christian nation. (301 A.D.) Armenians were the first Christians to take up arms to defend their right to worship God. (451 A.D.)

Modern Armenia Long history of persecution by Muslims in Ottoman Empire and Turkey. Violent persecutions in 1895, and Oppression of Christians by Marxist Soviet Union after WWII.

Religion in Armenia 85% of population are Christian (2.9 million). Most (2.7 million) in “Armenian Apostolic” church. The true gospel of salvation by the grace of Christ alone through faith alone is largely forgotten.

Religion in Armenia Armenia: An island in a sea of Islam. Great potential to become an engine room for missions. One problem is a lack of Scriptural theology. A related problem is a lack of biblical churches.
