We are blessed!

We are so glad we could make this trip to the beautiful country of Venezuela!

We ministered in three cities: Catia La Mar, Caracas, and Cumana. Thousands of Venezuelans enjoyed God's blessings together with us. They saw Russian family for the first time.

We pass the beach area.

The life in the downtown

More pictures of the city view.

The new church building is under construction (on both pictures).

It's not done yet, but it is almost finished and the church already performes church services there (you can see plastic chairs for the church service) .

During a very hot day, the new building keeps a cool air inside.

After a long day on the road (from 6 AM till 2 PM), we are eating a real Venezuelan meal: Yuriy got a bi-i-ig portion of seafood and Olga got fish with veggies and rice.

We are ready for the Sunday morning service that starts at 7 o'clock in the morning. We are so glad that God used us to encourage others:whether it was only one person at the time or a croud of a thousand people.

New waives are coming!
Please pray for us so we would be able to continue performing God’s work around the world at any time. Please pray for the people in Venezuela: many of them are on fire and getting ready for a new wave of the Holy Spirit to bring revival among the nations.

Two Lives Got Changed

We spent hours and hours on the road in Venezuela due to the heavy traffic. Our driver on one of the Sundays was a young man practicing a little English so we could communicate. He paid full attention to what was said during the church service and then he shared a little bit of his story with us. The following night after a long day of work, he showed up to pray together (in the picture below).

He learned a few lessons the hard way, from his own mistakes, and now he came back to Jesus and is ready to serve God with all of his heart. We believe God forgave him completely and will use that young man for His purposes. Also, we found out that he is a son of one of the pastors in that area. Praise the Lord; He is bringing His people back.

Other story.

Our team rented a big van for three days to take all of us and Venezuelan band from Caracas to Cumana, up to six hours drive. On the third day of spending time with our team and listening to the worship and teaching, our van driver (different driver than in the previous storyJ) decided to pray for God’s forgiveness for the first time.

All of us signed a “Happy Birthday” card for the newborn Christian. One of the local leaders explained what it means to be a follower of Jesus and invited him to his church. That invitation was accepted! (See the picture above) All the Glory to God!

We know for sure that God transformed the hearts of many people during the conference and during the great concert that the band performed.
