From 09 April to 27 May, 2012, Nazarenes across the Eurasia Region will unite in a single focus to celebrate a journey from “Easter to Pentecost.” Through the six-week devotional guide, “Resurrection Power,” every believer connected to the Church of the Nazarene in Eurasia has the opportunity to encounter and dwell in the power of the Holy Spirit that Paul describes.

Covering an area of 17,075,400 square kilometers and stretching across 12 times zones, Russia is the largest country on the planet. Historically, the Russian monarchs knew that the only way they could rule over such an enormous land was by connecting its most remote parts - hence the construction of the famous and picturesque Transiberian Railway, which connects Moscow to Russia's eastern provinces and Pacific shores.

Fewer than one percent of the people in one South Asian nation* are Christians. Nazarene leaders there saw a window of opportunity to share the JESUS film in an area where people are ardent followers of another faith.
