We are in Ust-Kut

On Monday evening, Yuriy led men ministry in the church. From this point, it was a new beginning for many of men. They prayed for new blessings in their lives and new commitment in serving our Savior Jesus

This is Sunday service on June 20th. The church baptized in the river Lena new members last Saturday and had a big celebration on Sunday morning: communion.

Pastor Dmitry with his wife Marina and we are holding bread and cups for the communion proclaiming the victory of our Lord Jesus on the cross.

Part of the Sunday service - prayer for children. Parents brought them to the church to ask blessings from our Father God. The couple on the left, Andrey and Marina, prayed for their newborn son: he is sixth son in the family! No daughters, so far. The couple in the middle prayed for their twins (so far, they have 5 daughters!) On the right, Lena is holding her baby-son. He is a real miracle. The church prayed for them and God saved lives of baby and his mother. Lena had to go far away to Irkutsk hospital: local hospital is not provided with a new medical technology. Delivery was complicated. Doctors said: "Mother and baby survived just due to the miracle" Praise God. Lena and her husband Victor have 5 children (2 daughters and 3 sons). Please continue pray for this family.

The church welcomed new members. They were baptized last Saturday.

You can see a small group of believers in a small village Niya. Yuriy ministered there on Saturday evening.

The worship group there praised the Lord from the bottom of their hearts!

Next two pictures are taken on Wednesday evening ministry: focus on family. God blessed our time together. Everyone received a fresh anointing for his/her marriage, family. Pastors of the church asked us to perform family ministry next Wednesday as well. We will do it on June 23. Please pray so God would continue to heal and stretch families.

UST-KUT CHURCH

On June 13 we ministered in Ust-Kut. At the beginning of each Sunday church service, children worship on front.

Then kids go to the children rooms for the Bible class and games. The church provides three classes for the different age of children: 3-6 years old, 7-10years old, and 11-14 years old.


We received a warm greeting from our first planted church in Ust-Kut city, Irkutsk region. Next Sunday we are planning to minister here again.

BACK TO RUSSIA

We are excited: we are in Russia again!

On June 2^nd we flew from Pittsburgh, PA to New York, then to Moscow (10 hours) and then 4 hours to Krasnoyarsk. We landed in Krasnoyarsk on June 4 at 5 o'clock in the morning local time. In the evening, we gathered with a small group of friends for a prayer meeting. It was great to start our ministry in Siberia with a prayer. Everyone could come close to the throne of God in this prayer and receive a touch of the Holy Spirit. Praise God! Also, we prayed for the children event that has been scheduled very next day in the city park.

Ten children teams participated in different kind of sport games. Christians from different churches of the city Krasnoyarsk brought their children and unchristian friends to the heart of the city (beautiful island) for fun and friendship.

On Sunday morning we ministered in a small church. They are renting café for the church services. It's a great opportunity to invite friends to the place like this: café next to the rail station. This small church started rehab center in September of 2009 and is working with people addicted by drugs and alcohol. Few rehabilitants went through the program successfully and are adapting to the real life

At the evening we celebrated the birth day of 3 years old son of the rehab’s leader. Rehabilitants were invited for picnic together with people from the church. Delicious chicken tights prepared on fire were the best chicken in the world!
