I am happy to report that we have a new brother in Christ – Sergei. The interesting thing is that he is a Jew by blood – both of his parents are Jews, but they left him in the orphanage shortly after he was born. And now he is also a Jew by faith in Christ. Sergey was the first child Nadya and her husband had adopted, and he is 25 years old. She tells the story that Sergey could not walk until he was 9 and even, though she spent a lot of money on doctors – it did not help, but he started walking after they started going to church. Sergey is weak physically and you can pray for his health. I hope that he will recover. We finished studying Bible with him about a year ago and right when he was ready to be baptized – he got ill and it took him a year to recover… When he saw his mother get baptized last month – he was encouraged again to do it.
Thank you for praying for us!
Please pray for current Bible studies with Anzhella, Aleksei, Liana, Irina, and Ivan.
Bible studies have started, but have not continued with Danil, Andrei, and Nelli.
I want to start Bible studies with Artyom, Denis, Sasha, Danil and Vasya, Sergey and Alexander, Anatoli, Maxim and Alina, Dmitrii, and Artyom.
Please also pray for our discipleship groups, so we would not only baptize people but help them grow in their faith, build friendships with people in the Church, find their calling from God, and use their gifts for Kingdom. Pray that all our believers would join small groups to do that.
