Welcome
An organization committed to providing aid to churches and christians in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Our foundation is the Bible, which is the Word of God. COAH adheres to the revealed truths and principals in that Word in accord with the Three Forms of Unity (Heidelberg Catechsim, Canons of Dordt, Belgic Confession) and the Westminster Confession.
Please browse though our website to see and learn more about the work we do - and what all needs to be done. If you have any questions, please send us an email or give us a call. And, of course, your support is always greatly appreciated.

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good. Jeremiah 24: 5e
Luke 11: 2
Christian reader, let me beg of you, that you will not be offended, either with God or men, if the cross is laid heavy upon you. Not with God; for He does nothing without a cause: nor with men; for they are the hand of God; and they are the servants of God to you for good. Accept therefore what comes to you from God by them, thankfully.
If the messenger that brings it is glad that it is in his power to do you hurt, and to afflict you; if he jumps for joy at your calamity; be sorry for him, pity him, and pray to your Father for him. He is ignorant and does not understand the judgement of your God; yes, he shows by his behavior that, though he as God’s instrument serves you by afflicting you; yet he means nothing less than to destroy you. This indicates to you that he himself is working out his own damnation by doing you good. Lay to your heart his woeful state, and render him that which is good for his evil; love for his hatred; and by so doing you will prove that you are actuated by a spirit of holiness, and are like your heavenly Father. And if it is that your pity and prayers can do him no good, yet they must land somewhere; or return again as ships come laden from India, full of blessings into your own bosom . . .
Is there nothing of God, of His wisdom, power and goodness, to be seen in thunder and lightening, in hailstones, in storms, in darkness, in tempests? Why then is it said, He has His way in the whirlwind and storm (Nahum 1: 3)? There is that of God to be seen in such a day as cannot be seen in another.
It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit, because there is no winter there. The Lord will bless all seasons to His people.

John Bunyan in Ukraine
I have had the privilege of speaking with Christians who suffered through long years in Soviet prisons. Many of them stated to me that during those dark days they felt a close kinship with Pilgrim from John Bunyan’s book The Pilgrims Progress.

YOU MUST READ THIS!
You can almost feel the hunger and thirst as you read the responses from many in the former Soviet Union for the books that are being distributed by the thousands!

CONVERSIONS IN PRISON!
All these endless “whys” were the beginning of my search for God. Gradually God started revealing Himself to me, but sin prevented me from coming to Him. During 11 years of imprisonment, the Lord was leading me to pure repentance.
