Russians Reaching Russians (RRR) is an international
church-planting ministry focused on the city and environs of Saint
Petersburg, Russia, with a vision to support the planting of churches.
RRR does so by partnering with Russian leaders who help identify,
train and strategically place church planters in key areas in and
around the city.
The ministry of RRR began in 1992 when Rick and
Heather Ives received a clear call from God to become full-time
missionaries to Russia, where they served in the city of Saint Petersburg
for four years.
While ministering tirelessly to reach Russians for
Christ, Rick and Heather also developed a passion to raise-up, support,
and equip Russian believers to become pastors and leaders in order
to reach their own countrymen. With more than five million people
in the Saint Petersburg area, and less than 200 churches, the need
for new churches to reach the lost was evident.
Today, the fruit of the ministry is nothing
short of amazing. Over 35 churches have been planted, more than
60,000 Russians have become Christians, and a number of like-minded
ministries have been birthed to minister to orphans, prisoners,
drug addicts and the homeless. With a US-based task force that raises
support, prays for, and provides ministry and leadership training
to Russian leaders and emerging leaders, RRR is uniquely positioned
to make a tremendous impact in Russia for years to come.

RRR is an international church-planting
ministry focused on city and environs of St. Petersburg,
Russia, and the vision is to support the planting
of vital and growing churches in this area. RRR, along
with its US-based task force, seek to reach out to the
lost by raising up pastors and churches who are willing
to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Each church
is legally registered with one of several, official
covering organizations recognized by the Russian government.
Russians Reaching Russians provides these pastors with
training and the support needed to plant new churches.
Most new church plants are focused on densely populated
areas that have not had a church in over 80 years
RRR works hand in hand with
its National Director, Pastor Igor Sokolov. Pastor Sokolov
helps identify and train young Russians with a calling
to become pastors and church planters. In the
surroundings of St. Petersburg, there are numerous towns
with populations of 10,000 to 80,000 that do not have
a single evangelical Christian church. God has blessed
America with a kingdom-opportunity to extend our blessings
to the Russian Church. RRR serves as a mentor to these
new pastors and provides financial assistance to help
them plant their churches. Russians Reaching Russians
is truly a ministry that equips Russians to reach Russians—together
we train and release Russian pastors who reach their
nation for Jesus!
Since
1992, Russians Reaching Russians (RRR) has helped plant
over 35 churches in the city and environs of Saint Petersburg.
