Productive Bible Study Seminars in Stepanovo

Dear Partners and Friends, greetings in the name of Jesus! Olga and I pray that you are healthy and enjoying your summer! We also pray that you are doing exactly what the Lord has for you and that he is blessing that work.Now the summer is here in Russia, it is rainy and also cold this year. Or should I say the cold turns up a bit. We were born and raised here therefore, we have an idea of how this weather works!! Cool and Rainy!!! It also means school is out and there is time to prepare for the next school year starting in September. Last year we started getting ready in August and God was faithful to provide with enough funds for the orphans and street children; He lead the way and we know there was much fruit from our time teaching the Truth in orphanages and a shelter. Some of the fruit that we found out about came from others visiting the country. Pastors Dan Steen, Lewis Smyth, Rob Anderson and others has been coming with teams to help us fulfill the task that the Lord had entrusted unto us. This last week was a very busy week! ICM Team had done an IBS in Stepanovo, Russia. Alex Alexandroff went to teach the course to a New Light Church. Eugene Goldobin, the pastor of the church invited us to come bless his church with this life-changing course! More than 70 people came to the rehab center the church planted several years ago to participate in the seminars! It is with a great pleasure I look at this young couple I watched grow up now serving the Lord as missionaries! They are our dear friends and we are proud of them. Praise God! Alex and Luba has been a blessing to us thru the years. Dearest Friends and Partners, May the Lord bless you and thanks to all for your love and support of this ministry. I know God will bless you for it!!! Here and in Eternity!!! We love each and every one of you, Igor and Olga
