Church in Ust-Ilimsk

Sunday morning on September 21 was a great time of worship at Ust-Ilimsk church “Spirit of Faith.” with Pastor Nikolay Chernenko. The building was packed with people. This church is growing fast because of leading two Rehabs.


Yuriy preached at Wednesday and Sunday services. People’s hearts were open to the Holy Spirit. Anointing of God was real. People cried to God praying for their lives, families and relatives. At the end of service, pastor asked his church if they would like to bless international ministry of Yuriy and Olga. Now, we were crying to see people’s hearts responding to the Holy Spirit: those, who yesterday and days before yesterday were addicted and spent all the money and time to drugs and alcohol, were making investment into ministry for the Kingdom of God around the world. How could we be not crying!? God brings His people together and unites them for His glory. We want to see pastor Nikolay in the USA on April of 2009 at international leadership conference.


This wooden building is too small for over 200 people.

They are doing remodeling of concrete block building next to the church. People who were drug abused went through the program, got free, started their businesses, and after their regular work are doing reconstruction work for the church. Now, they are investing their time and money for the Kingdom of God. Praise the Lord! God is great! The church is planning to move her service into new building during this winter when the heater system would be done. The rest of the finish work could be performed later.
