The Alliance for Saturation Church
Planting attempts to facilitate church planting
in the 27 countries of post-communist Eurasia.
Alliance-related Facilitation Teams resident
in 14 of these countries seek to identify, envision, train and
mobilize existing and emerging churches to plant new churches.
So that the gospel is available to every person, these teams desire
to facilitate church multiplication. Facilitation efforts exist
in Central Asia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia&Montenegro, Slovakia,
Slovenia and Ukraine. Alliance partners are also employing saturation
church planting elements in Albania, Belarus and Bulgaria.

throughout the region. Current areas of expertise of Regional
Resource Team members include research, church planting
strategy, networking and mentoring/leadership
