Zeugnisse von Christo, a 4 ½ x 6 ¾ inch 36-page monthly, edited and published by Jakob and Abraham Kröker at Spat, Crimea, Russia, first issue January 1901. Two issues are in Mennonite Historical Library (Goshen, Indiana, USA) (January and February 1901); the further history is unknown.

The first number contained a full sermon by Jakob Friesen, preacher in Rückenau, on Romans 1:16, plus an extracted sermon by F. L. Meyer on 1 Corinthians 9:27; the second contained a sermon on Romans 6:23 by Elder David Dürksen and one by C. H. Spurgeon. The agent for America was John F. Harms of Medford, Oklahoma. Twenty sermons were collected and published in one volume entitled Zeugnisse von Christo.
