The dissertation in hand is about the theological researches about the mission of the German
Mennonite - Brethren - Church in Karaganda I Kasachstan from 1956 to 2000.
The existing socialism with its atheistical values affected adversely the lives of the Christians and
prevented them from missionary work. In spite of that mission was able to be practised.
Experienced preachers and teachers in the church prepared the missionary work by instructing the
Christians to be effective witnesses for the Lord. This was achieved by the training of young
preachers. regular pronouncements of the Gospel and the work with children and young persons.
The Christians retained this method until the middle of the 70ies when the regid laws concerning
the missionary work were mitigated. Commited brothers. young persons, preachers and singers
visited lonely Christians and churches in remote villages, had personal conversations with
unbelievers and organized evangelizations. Members ofthe church were sent out as missionaries to
erect parishes and carry out evangelizations / Missiology / M.Th.
