Yakutia is the land of permafrost in the Far East of Russia, where it is still winter in May and already winter in September.
Yakutsk, the capital city of the vast Siberian region known as the Sakha Republic, is widely identified as the world’s coldest city. However, through His Word and the saving message of the Gospel, God melted the hearts of the Yakut nation, and the Yakuts started reaching out for the Living Word of God.
In Krest Khakut in the Far North of Yakutia, where the frost drives temperatures down to -45/-50 degrees, God has planted a church which is burning with the desire to reach every Yakut family with the Gospel.
In the 1990s God lit the fire of the Gospel in this cold region. This fire warmed the hearts of the people, who began to gather in a private house for worship. At the beginning of the new millennium they purchased an old building for a House of Prayer. The church grew and developed, and the believers carried the Gospel to the settlements in the Far North. Today, the church is still regularly ministering in 9 different locations/villages in the North, the nearest 40 km away, and the furthest 400 km. In addition, the believers conduct regular evangelistic mission trips to other regions of the Far North.

Due to this church’s strong evangelistic passion, all resources were spent on spreading the Gospel, while the House of Prayer became increasingly dilapidated. It was built many years ago when construction materials were much inferior compared to today’s.
Now there is an urgent need to build a House of Prayer for the church, with a Hope Centre for the development of the children’s ministry. We are pleased to inform you that together we were able to help support this project. As the construction work progresses, we will keep you updated.
