“Every Sunday new people come and receive Jesus.”

Armenia (MNN) — Revival is coming to Armenia one heart at a time as the country continues to move beyond its post-Soviet, communist past.

Pastor Artur Sargsyan, a partner of A3, says God is transforming lives in his church and community: “Now God works in our hearts, and God revives everyone’s heart.”

Sargsyan sees signs of revival in people’s growing desire for biblical teaching, Christian community, and prayer. In his church, people gather every morning and evening simply to seek God together.

“People come — praying, praying, praying. And every day in our church, we have church service,” says Sargsyan.

He says prayer is helping believers bring every area of life before God. Church growth has led to the launch of new home groups and village churches, creating a greater need for leadership training. In response, the church has started a leadership school. It also offers ministries for youth, teens, men, and worship teams.

As people become more engaged in church life, more are also coming to faith in Christ.

“Every Sunday new people come and receive Jesus,” says Sargsyan.

As revival grows, so does the need to equip church leaders. To help meet that need, A3 trains a group of Armenian pastors, emphasizing biblical character and spiritual maturity.

Sargsyan says certain qualities are essential for effective leadership: “Every leader needs to have a prayer life every day, holiness, and be humble, with a spirit of humility.”

A3 walks alongside pastors in Armenia, helping them develop the character and skills needed to lead healthy churches and disciple believers in a changing culture.

Pray that Armenian church leaders will seek the wisdom and understanding needed to lead effectively. Also pray that the Gospel will continue reaching more hearts across Armenia as God draws people to Himself.
