Russia

In the late 1990's Phil received a phone call from an Australian missionary based in Estonia. Phil had always felt that one day he would minister in Russia. The Missionary asked him if he would like to go to Russia to meet a need amongst some churches. A few months later Phil flew into Moscow and then in to Ulyanovsk. There he met Eura Burkin, preached in his church and did a week of training. 

​

During subsequent trips, church planting schools were established in western Russia and eventually in the Ukraine. Hundreds of churches were planted and encouraged to connect with Russian church organisations.
