Brief Description
Records of Eastern European Mission (first known as the Russian and Easten European Mission, then as Eastern European Mission, and finally as EuroVision; since it was known as Eastern European Mission during most of its existence, or EEM, it is referred to as such in this guide) including minutes, financial records, correspondence, reports, scrapbooks, missionary files, and newspaper and magazine clippings. Most of the documents are in English, but there is also material in Russian, Polish, German and other languages. The activities of the mission included church planting, evangelism, radio broadcasting, the printing and distribution of Bibles and Christian literature, and humanitarian relief. Although the mission sent out many North American workers, most of it activities, especially after 1945, involved supporting indigenous Christian workers in the USSR and Eastern Europe. It also for a time supported ministries to Slavic speaking population is South America and Canada. Although the records primarily tell the story of Eurovision's Christian ministry, there is also a good deal of information in the documents about church under Communism and the political and social conditions of Eastern Europe and Russia from the 1920s until the 1980s.
