Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The dissertation deals with the mission of the German speaking Mennonite Brethren Church in Karaganda/Kazakhstan during the period of 1956 to 2000. Soviet socialism with its atheist values affected adversely the lives of Christians and prevented them from missionary work. Nevertheless, mission was practised. Experienced preachers and teachers in the church prepared for missionary work by instructing Christians to be effective witnesses for the Lord. Christians retained this method until the middle of the 70ies when rigid laws concerning the missionary work were mitigated. Committed brothers. young persons, preachers and singers visited lonely Christians and churches in remote villages, had personal conversations with unbelievers and organized evangelizations. Members of church were sent out as missionaries to start parishes and carry out evangelizations.
