Russian Gospel Materials

I may have gone crazy and started translating a bunch of Gospel materials into usable English/Russian presentations. Shoutout to ChatGPT for being my translating buddy. Maybe these will be useful to someone else out there!

Of course, I translated this website's Gospel presentation into Russian. By going to the Gospel page, you can see a button that will take you to the Russian version!

I have even asked the fluent Russian-speaking missionaries in Czechia to double-check the translation. When they told me it was good as is, I started trusting ChatGPT to translate everything...

This is a pretty popular Gospel presentation. You may have seen bracelets with these four symbols or learned about this at FCA. I just learned that they have a really cool website!

Three Circles (Beginning with the broken circle)

A pastor named Jimmy Scroggins originally created three circles, and it has been widely used by many! NAMB offers resources, such as the Life on Mission app, videos, a kit, and conversation guides.

Sometimes, missionaries will begin with the second circle that stands for brokenness depending on their context, so that is why I did two versions! The second version is provided by Multiply Disciples.

Below, I have linked the presentations for each of the four I have mentioned above just in case you are ever in a situation where you need the Gospel translated to Russian! Here are a few things to keep in mind

Two different file types
- PDF: I have these available offline on my phone because I may have limited internet/data access in another country. In doing so, I can just pull it up on my phone and scroll.
- JPG: Sometimes PDFs mess up when putting them on projectors, so I went ahead and added an image format!
Each of the four Gospel presentations will have multiple versions available. There will be a simplified version with mostly images or English, and versions with complete Russian if there is no translator present.
I also have a shortcut to my TEKEL design slides where you can learn more about here.
