Republic of Khakasia

On Sunday October 19th, we shared our testimonies with a small church of Pastor Eduard in Abakan city. The beauty of this group is a mix of Russian and Khakasian people. At this time, Khakasian people are seeking and open to the Lord! We visited Khakasian village Smirnovka near Abakan city and had a great time of fellowship there! A young widow has four little children and raising them with a help of Christian brothers and sisters. Pastor Eduard purchased flower, sugar, macaroni, and oil for her family and we helped him to take it to the village. We enjoyed listening Christian songs in Khakas language. They were interested to hear about Christians around the world. During the week, we had a privilege to participate in a small home group. One guy was excited by giving his testimony. He accepted Jesus a week ago at this home group and was dreaming to become a Pastor! Few people were going trough the hard time at work, and we took it to the Lord. People asked us a thousand questions! More then two hours of fellowship were gone unnoticeable.
