Kirensk City

We spent a few days in Kirensk. It took us five hours by a speed boat to get to the Kirensk city: we enjoyed the view of the river Lena for five hours! Then we crossed another river Kirenga by boat and came to the place the pastor's family stays in. The Pastor was out for a long time (he worked in Irkutsk for a couple months to make some money for his family).

We prayed together with his family in the "prayer room" on the river's bank! Our God is close to listen

On the river

On that weekend, our friends didn't have an electrical power (due to the repairs) and used a wooden stove in banya (sauna) to prepare a meal.

Greetings from missions' field! We are in Irkutsk region, Russia.

With Pastor Nikolay from Ust-Ilimsk we stopped at Rehab center in Irkutsk and prayed for those precious people who is going through the rehabilitation program.

Worship time at the church "The Spirit of Faith"

The church in Ust-Ilimsk city has a missionaries training school. After nine months of hard work, five students are prepared for missions work . They are graduated on June 17th and looking forward to go to new missions' fields (in their region and country, so far). May God bless all of them and send even more workers for His Kingdom!  

The territory of one of Rehabs for alcohol addicted people in Ust-Ilimsk. The inmates planted veggies and the green is coming up in June.

The leaders of Rehab have a vision for extended ministry. They got a building (on a picture above) and are planning to use it for the handicapped elder people. There is a big need and the city is far behind to take care for many people in need. Many handicapped people are alcohol addicted as well. 

Igor and Lena are facing a giant Goliath: finances to bring this building up to working condition and remodel it for the  handicapped seniors living facility. We prayed with them so they would be able to overcome that giant Goliath. The leaders are eager to bring Jesus into lives of many people. May God bless them! Together, we can extend a Kingdom of God around the world! 

Also, they just recently purchased  an old truck and are in a process to fix it by the harvest season.

 Igor and Lena gave us a ride on "passengers" pick-up.

They purchased new animals: sheep. Thirty more sheep are coming from the Ural area. 

The leaders are trying hard to keep their Rehab center as self-sufficient.
