We are happy to see this new stage. Two years ago, the small church purchased old building for rehab center. Small part of that building they use as century for the church services. We spent time with Pastor Leonid and his wife Tatyana. Young leaders were able to ask many questions and got answers during our fellowship time. They have two children.
The building is still under remodeling - reconstruction work goes slowly due to the luck of finance - but it looks better than 2 years ago!
The picture from 2008: at the beginning, before remodeling. At least, people got a place for worship. Little by little, they perform remodeling by their hands - as much as they can. Sure, during the winter time, inside of the building is cold and very cold.
The city of Bratsk is a pretty big city (about 180,000) and has a few churches at different locations. On July 25, we ministered at church of Pastor Vitaly. The anointing of the Holy Spirit was real. The people's hearts were open to receive the Word of God and to get ready for the next step and for the next level of relationship. Each of them got a word of encouragement. The team from the church just completed a program for the children camp. Over 30 kids had fun and opportunity to hear about real God Jesus Christ.
Many people came forward to confirm their desire for change in their lives and to make a visual step toward getting a strength from God so they would be able to keep their promises. Psalms 29:11 "The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace." We could see this combination of strength and peace. God gives us strength and peace and makes us able to use this strength for bringing peace. We prayed on Psalm 29:11. The city of Bratsk should become the city of brotherly love!
