“...not the one who needs them” Your assumptions are wrong. While the US sends out the most Christian missionaries, we also receive the most missionaries.
And yes, we need all the help we can get.
Catholic, Evangelical, AND Orthodox groups have helped tackle Russia’s most pressing social ills from its HIV crisis (the rate has skyrocketed in this past decade alone infecting 1% of the Russian population) - rehab centers for alcoholics and drug addicts (life expectancy and male mortality in particular is of grave concern in Russia) and crisis pregnancy centers.
Orthodox groups have gotten their cues and methods of pro-life activism from Americans who’ve had a hand in helping shape the movement in Russia also. (Which after China, historically has the highest abortion rate in the world.)
“And yes, we need all the help we can get.”
I was speaking of attitudes, not the state of men’s souls.
