BACK TO RUSSIA

We are excited: we are in Russia again!

On June 2nd 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!
