I would like you to consider sharing your love, wisdom, experience and knowledge with the leading apologists of former Soviet Union at the Eurasian Apologetics Summit we plan to do here in Crimea on October 6-9, 2006. After several years since our ministry started in 1992, we found out that despite of the great need of the apologetics in post-communist society, the apologists are rare, separated and not supported or even not appreciated by the local churches. As a part of implementing the strategy for overcoming the situation we have organized our first Eurasian Apologetics Summit in 2000. About 20 leading apologists from CIS (countries impacted by socialism :) ) spent several days together at Yalta (former Soviet Union best resort place sadly famous for the February 1944 Stalin-Churchill-Roosevelt conference). The goal of the meeting was fellowship, networking, vision and resources sharing, strategic planning. This event gave a start for Eurasian Apologetics Society. Considering the situation development in five years that have passed, we are planning to make another Summit. Now we would like to gather at least 50 leading and active apologists from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Uzbekistan, and may be some other CIS countries - the people who makes greatest change by impacting other people in their regions with Bible-based strategy of effective Christian persuasion. Additionally to the goals of 2000 Summit, we would like to make the major focus on training end equipping those leaders for training and equipping others. The seminars and/or workshops you could offer would be great building-up and encouragement for the participants - people who have the biggest impact on the strongholds of atheistic ideology peoples are still brainwashed with in our part of the world. The Eurasian Apologetic Summit is going to be back-to back with our regular academia outreach event - a symposium Man and Christian Worldview on October 5-6 (http://www.scienceandapologetics.org/engl/papers.htm). So the speakers could take part in both if they are able. If somebody could come some days ahead, the lectures and workshops in secular schools could be arranged Therefore, the maximum outcome of the visit could be tri-fold: by October 5 - outreach for secular universities students Dr. Georges P.
