Russia's newest law, no evangelizing outside of church.
Russian President Vladimir Putin approved a package of anti-terrorism laws that usher
in tighter restrictions on missionary activity and evangelism.
The amendments, including laws against sharing faith in homes, online, or anywhere but recognized
church buildings, went into effect on July 20th.
Protestants and religious minorities small enough to gather in homes fear they will be
most affected.
Russia's ban on evangelism is now in effect.
It requires missionaries to have permits, makes house churches illegal, and limits religious
activity to registered church buildings.
Individuals who disobey could be fined up to $780, while organizations could be fined
more than $15,000.
Any person who mentions their religious view or reflections out loud or puts them in writing
without the relevant documents could be accused of illegal missionary activity.
Requiring a permit to evangelize is not only absurd and offensive, but also creates the
basis for mass persecution of believers for violating these provisions.
So here's just one more example of Christian persecution that is going on around the world
today.
