Christians in Russia Refuse to Stop Sharing the Gospel Despite Putin’s Ban on Evangelism

(Worthy News) – The Slavic Centre for Law and Justice, an affiliate of the American Center for Law and Justice, said a new manner of carrying out missionary work in Russia will have to be established.

The law bans all missionary activities in residential areas and requires Christians who want to share their faith with others, even on the internet, to obtain authorization documents from a religious association. It also imposes a fine of $75 to $765 if the violator is a Russian citizen, and a fine of up to $15,265 in case of an organization, while foreigners would be deported, The Christian Post reported last month.

“A number of restrictions on missionary work were introduced and legal liability was put in place for the violation of these new laws,” the SCLJ explained, promoting a webinar on Thursday that will address the issue.

The organization is set to review the changes to Russia’s law when it comes to freedom of conscience and the activities of religious institution; the rights of foreign citizens to conduct missionary activities in Russia; and how to carry out missionary work in the world’s biggest country without breaking the law.
