As Christianity in Russia is on the rise, there's one church in Moscow that's reaching thousands. In fact, the "Good News" church is one of the largest and fastest growing evangelical congregations in that country.

IN A LAND WHERE THE RUSSIAN
ORTHODOX CHURCH DOMINATES, ONE
EVANGELICAL CHARISMATIC CHURCH
IS CREATING SPIRITUAL WAVES.
PROTESTANT MOVEMENT GROWING
VERY STRONGLY.
AMERICANS ARE AT THE
FOREFRONT OF THE MOVEMENT.
1991 IS THIS COUPLE MOVED THEIR
FAMILY TO THE FORMER SOVIET
UNION WITH A GOAL OF REACHING
RUSSIANS WITH THE GOSPEL OF
JESUS CHRIST.
NINE YEARS LATER, THEY STARTED
MOSCOW GOOD NEWS CHURCH IN THE
RUSSIAN CAPITOL CITY.
IT IS 3500 PEOPLE IN
ATTENDANCE.
THAT IS LARGE FOR RUSSIA.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT HAPPENS AT
MOSCOW GOOD NEWS.
THOSE FROM ORTHODOX BACKGROUND
FIND THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH
COMMUNITY A WHOLE NEW
EXPERIENCE.
SOME ARE SHOCKED.
SOME THINK WOW, I HAVE ONLY SEEN
THIS IN MOVIES.
ALONG WITH THE PREACHING OF
THE GOSPEL, WORSHIP AND STYLE OF
MUSIC IS A BIG DRAW, TOO.
COME TO CHURCH, WE HAVE
MUSIC.
GOSPEL MUSIC?
IN ADDITION TO THE MAIN
SERVICE, THEY HAVE AN ACTIVE
CHILDRENS' MINISTRY THAT PUTS ON
PERFORMANCES ABOUT THE LIFE OF
CHRIST AND AN ENTIRE CHURCH JUST
TO REACH IT WILL ELDERLY.
DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS
SUCCESS OF MOSCOW GOOD NEWS
CHURCH, IT FACES A HUGE PUBLIC
PROBLEM.
CHARISMATIC CHURCHES ARE OFTEN
CONSIDERED CULTS.
THEY PUT LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO
RESTRICT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
THEY VIEW THE CHURCHES AS
COMPETITORS, THEY SIDE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT TRYING TO LIMIT
EVANGELICAL CHURCH GROWTH.
THE ORTHODOX CHURCH DOESN'T
HAVE A GOOD OPINION.
IT HAS TO CHANGE.
IT IS THAT SENTIMENT THAT HOPE
LEAD TO MORE RUSSIANS EMBRACING
THE MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.
CAPITOLISM HAS COME.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE AND LOST
AMOUNTS OF MONEY.
THEY HAVE FOUND OUT IT IS NOT
THE ANSWER TO ALL THEIR
PROBLEMS.
THERE IS A NEW WAVE OF INTEREST
IN SPIRITUAL THINGS.
