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 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.

The house was fully packed and there was no space between the stage and the first row. During the worship time, people cried to the Lord for forgiveness and healing.

Cumana Venezuela

On Friday, we traveled for 6 hours from Caracas to Cumana (we already used to spend hours and hours seating in a car). The band performed a great concert. We enjoyed a wonderful time of praise and worship. Up to a thousand people showed up for that concert. Many of them received salvation during that big event and came to the conference on Saturday and Sunday. Praise the Lord!

On Saturday, the conference started at 7 o’clock in the morning and the sanctuary was packed! Great worship and a great teaching for 6 hours on the row! The time flew unnoticeable. Everyone was blessed! The church has a TV channel and could broadcast a live TV for the city.

On Sunday, the church has three services: at 7 am, at 9 am, and at 11 am. People were leaving through one door and getting in through other door between services: at least 800 people for each service. Couple thousands of Venezuelans could see the real Russians for the first time. We had three speakers, one for the each service: one from Venezuela, other from the USA, and one from Russia. All three services were live broadcasted.

Pastor and his family

Caracas

On Tuesday morning, the church “We are united” experienced over 3 hours of intensive blessings by the powerful anointing on Yuriy and Pastor Guillermo from Bogota! Approx over 300 people were there in the morning and 500 in the evening. Pastor Don shared at the evening and called the leaders of the church to get the oil and to pray for the people together with us. The big bottle of the oil has gone immediately! All the people received blessings from the Lord Almighty. Also, we had a privilege to share on the Radio station. We left our home at 5 am and came back around 11 pm. Such a blessed day!

The church has 400 rehabilitants at this time.

People are seeking for the Lord

Many people have decided to say "Yes" to the Lord.

We could really see that revival already began in Venezuela! The hearts of many people are open. Wednesday evening was great and powerful. I wish you could be there with us and feel it in your spirit. God is preparing great things for those whose are fully committed to Him and are fully His.

On Thursday evening, we were invited to the studio share from our lives with a small group of musicians and singers and to pray for them. It was memorable time for them and us.

Catia La Mar

On Friday and Saturday evenings, we ministered at the Church of the Assembly of God in Catia La Mar. This church is focused on going to the nations and Pastor Elita recently renamed her church for the Christian Center for the Nations “The Morning Star.” People are really eager for the words of God and getting ready for a big move of the Holly Spirit in their lives and around the world.On Sunday morning our team went to the different churches. God provided additional interpreter for us and Corina became a part of our team. That morning, the church with Pastor Alexander had a great joy and a big celebration. Many people received confirmation on what God is doing in their lives. Many prayers got answered.
