Georgia (  /'d??rd??/ (help·info); ( Georgian ??????????, [s?k??rt?v?l?] (help·info)) is a country in the Caucasus region of Eurasia. Situated at the juncture of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, [6] it is bounded to the west by the Black Sea, to the north by Russia, to the south by Turkey and Armenia, and to the east by Azerbaijan. Georgia covers a territory of 69,700&_160;km² and its population is 4.3 million, largely ethnic Georgians. [7]The history of Georgia can be traced back to the ancient kingdoms of Colchis and Iberia, and it was one of the first countries to adopt Christianity as an official religion, early in the 4th century. At the beginning of the 19th century Georgia became a part of the Russian Empire. After a brief period of independence following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Georgia was incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1922. Some of the most important Soviet leaders such as Joseph Stalin and Lavrentiy Beria were ethnic Georgians. Independence was restored in 1991. Like many post-communist countries Georgia suffered from the economic crisis and civil unrest during the 1990s. After the bloodless Rose Revolution, however, the new leadership has established efficient government institutions,[8] reformed the economy and guided the country through a period of the fastest economic growth in its history. Georgia is a representative democracy, organized as a secular, unitary semi-presidential republic; however, the idea to restore the constitutional monarchy is popular in certain circles, most notably in the Georgian Orthodox Church.[9][10] It is currently a member of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization, the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, and GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development. The country seeks to join NATO and, in the longer term, accession to the European Union.[11]

They are aflame with the Lord. That's's right. Dr. Allen, how did you come to know Jesus as your private Savior? Well, I grew up and my father was the priest of a little country church and I'd go to him and once he was preaching in Georgia in a tiny tiny church and he said,'If you'd like to be a Christian, come forward,' and I was six years old but I just felt as if I needed to do it.
