Meet Mitch & Naomi Propst

Mitch and Naomi Propst left two excellent jobs, comfort, security, children, and grandchildren to teach and mentor an existing small group of Christians in Samara, Russia. Their influence and work in Samara has been fruitful, as souls are continually being added to the church there. Their original plan was to stay in Samara for two years; however they are beginning their ninth year. They have captured the hearts of the church in Samara and, in turn, their hearts have been captured by the Russian Christians.

Although they are like spiritual parents to the new Christians, they are doing an excellent job of training the Russian Christians to be independent and carry on the work when Mitch & Naomi return to the U.S. Lives are being drastically changed in Samara, as people turn to Christ for salvation.

The church is reaching out to the community through many programs and ministries. World Bible School, weekly television programs, feeding the poor outside the church building, English through the Bible classes, training for home school parents are just some of the ways that the church is reaching out with God's love.
