In a part of the world where churches are often seen for their historic value, a large majority of people do not consider the gospel of Jesus as being relevant to them today.
But you can help change that.
Help local believers reach the lost with the hope of Jesus by partnering with 4D Ministries.
4D isn't about growing our own ministry, but rather putting wind in the sails of local churches to reach their neighbors with the Good News of the gospel.
Together, we can make a difference.

How one Eastern European Partner is sharing hope!
