This Project Guide is to help lead us in prayer for the people of Eurasia
and our missionaries, John and Beth Wilson.
These Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge Project Guides are created to present an opportunity
to partner with a specific missionary, via designated giving, culturally specific prayer, and similar
serving opportunities to the featured missionary. Use this Project Guide on a regular basis to bring missions to life by developing a heart of generosity in your kids’ ministry! Our hope is that
you will use this simple tool to teach your kids about evangelism, both in the global and local
context. For your convenience, we have included the Ignite Eurasia website which has a link so
you can download all videos, pictures, etc. See link below (case sensitive).

GPS – GIVE PRAY SERVE
BGMC exists to help kids give, pray, and go (GPS) with missionaries around the world. One of
the ways a heart of generosity can be measured is through a few actionable items: how are the
kids in your ministry giving? How are they praying? How are they serving? We want to measure
the effectiveness of a child’s missional heart through their own desire to give, their own desire
to pray, and their own desire to serve. You are leading kids in prayer for children in other parts
of the world. God is calling many of them to go across cultures and tell people about Jesus.
Consider giving toward those who are ministering to the unreached corners of the Earth. A
giving form is attached at the end of this Project Guide and we hope that you consider
contributing toward this excellent ministry. The Project Fundraising Goal is $10,000; once that
goal is met, remaining funds will be donated towards critical needs – such as food, Bibles,
water, clothes, medicine, shelter – for missionaries on the field. Donations to the critical needs
fund may be made at any time throughout the year.
As your commitment is an agreement between you and God, it is understood that you may
revise it at any time. Once a need is met, we reserve the privilege of redirecting funds to the
BGMC Critical Needs Account. If the pledged amount is not met, BGMC reserves the right to
redirect the church or district’s undesignated funds.
Project Fundraising Goal: $10,000

PART 1 – EURASIA Eurasia consists of 44 separate
countries. Many of these
countries are very difficult to
access but God has given the
Wilson’s a great opportunity to
ignite a mentoring movement
for kids in Eurasia through a
BGMC project called “Ignite Eurasia”. The nations they focus on are India, Bangladesh, Nepal,
and Sri Lanka.
In Eurasia, they have all kinds of different climates, from high mountains, to burning deserts, to
steaming jungles. It's a very interesting place in the world.
Right now John and Beth are working with four different languages in Southern Asia. The Ignite
Eurasia BGMC project, specifically, will help them share the Gospel with kids in the Nepali
language, which they’re very excited about.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that God will open the doors to the nations in Eurasia which need a
mentoring movement for kids.
PART 2 – INTRODUCING THE WILSON’S John, Beth, and their family are from Spokane,
Washington. They moved to Russia in 2002 and served as
missionaries there. They now serve all of Eurasia as
missionaries through AGWM International Ministries. This
5
gives them access to all countries of Eurasia and the rest of the world.
John and Beth were called to mission ministry through their work with orphan kids in Russia.
God spoke to them and called them to take their family to begin to serve children throughout
Russia, greater Eurasia and now worldwide.
John and Beth have three grown children and two grandchildren, of whom they are very proud.
As missionaries, their job is to help establish, strengthen, and serve the mentoring ministry of
Royal Rangers International for boys and girls through local churches in every nation around the
world.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that God will help the Wilson’s fulfill the mission to ignite a mentoring
movement in nations around the world.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that God will speak to local people about fulfilling the Great Commission to
make disciples in their nations.
PART 3 – LIFE IN EURASIA Southern Asia and India contain one third of all the children in the world. That's over 400 million young people under the age of 18, and probably even more. More kids than the
population of the USA.

Kids in Eurasia like all kinds of activities,
especially outdoor games, camping,
hiking, swimming, fishing, football;
which you know as soccer.
Eurasia’s kids are like any other kids
around the world; they love every kind
of activity. And through the Wilson’s
ministry, kids are provided a variety of
things to do. John’s had the most fun
teaching kids to play baseball, shoot
arrows and light fires with no matches!
PRAYER POINT: Pray for kids in Eurasia who need Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that kids will find friendships and have life changing experiences through
Royal Rangers International meetings and activities.
PART 4 – MANY RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS In Eurasia, they have many different kinds of religions including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,
animism, Orthodox Christianity, and many other different religions that people follow. Very few
people are Christians.
Therefore, John and Beth have to present a clear, understandable message of the Gospel to the
people in Eurasia so that they can understand and accept Jesus Christ into their lives.
In Eurasia sometimes nation's make it difficult to present the Gospel to people. They have to be
creative how they do it and Royal Rangers International really helps. In many places ministry to
children is forbidden but God always seems to make a way to share His love.
7
PRAYER POINT: Pray that
kids who are influenced by
false religions will come to
know who Jesus Christ
really is and will give their
hearts to him and become
part of a Royal Rangers
International group.
PART 5 – NEEDS OF THE CHURCH In Eurasia one of the greatest needs the churches have is the need for ministry to boys and
girls. Therefore, the Wilson’s want to ignite a mentoring movement in every nation of Eurasia,
were kids can learn to serve Jesus.
The greatest need of the Christian church is that the church be established where it is not. John
and Beth have seen many of Royal Rangers International groups catch a vision to plant new churches in new places in Eurasia. They’ve
seen churches grow out of Royal Rangers
International groups in Ukraine and in nations in Africa as well. Many of the leaders and kids
work to share Royal Rangers International with
neighboring churches and even other nations.
Evangelism and Mission is the heart of Royal
Rangers International.
PRAYER POINT: Pray for churches as they begin ministry for kids and young people. Pray that
God will raise up leaders in these churches.

PART 6 – THE PROJECT “Ignite Eurasia” is a BGMC project where they want to do three things.
1- They want to present the Gospel to the first of 10,000
boys and girls in Southern Asia and India.
2- They want to translate Royal Rangers International
resources into Nepali, so that the children of Nepal can
have discipleship resources in their local churches. There
are 1,000 churches waiting for these resources in Nepal.
3 -They want to train adult mentors in each of the
Nations and establish the ministry of Royal Rangers for
boys and girls in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and strengthen it in Sri Lanka.
Their goal is to ignite a mentoring movement in each of these nations through the local church and to see that movement led by and supported by the local church in each nation.
As they ignite this mentoring movement, it will open the door to one-third of all the kids in the world to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that churches and groups in America and around the world will take up the challenge to give a dollar twenty a day for 30 days in 2020 and 2021 and become part of the
Ignite Eurasia BGMC project.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that groups around the world who give will meet their Goals for Giving to
Ignite Eurasia.

PART 7 – MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES The ministry of Royal Rangers International meets an incredible need to disciple young people.
They do this by meeting with kids weekly providing mentors to guide them along in their walk
with Jesus.
They also encourage the leaders and Rangers around the world to not only look at their own
needs but to look at the needs of others around them, including neighboring nations.
Around the world Royal Rangers International is helping nations establish new churches, reach
out to young people, and change lives for the better.
As Beth and John prepare for their fourth term as missionaries, they have the great opportunity to reach literally thousands and thousands of young people through this mentoring movement.
They are bringing, for the first time, a solid ministry, through local churches, that will disciple boys and girls for years to come.
PRAYER POINT: Pray for John and Beth
as they raise additional monthly prayer and financial support and their
one-time cash budget.
PRAYER POINT: Pray that they can reach new nations with this great
ministry for boys and girls, a ministry
that will change their lives forever.
Thank you! – John and Beth Wilson
