Awesome Church Growth in Cherkessk

Dear Partners and Friends,
The IM-Russia Crew sincerely appreciates your prayers and precious love-gifts! In the beginning of October we visited Garrik and Tanya Kurginyan, a couple that has been serving Jesus with us at ICM-Russia in Caucasus for more than 10 years! A year ago Garrik started a new church in Cherkessk and it is one of the fastest growing churches in the city. Praise the Lord!I worship God for providing us an opportunity to come spend time with leaders (some 17 men) and the congregation (some 70 people) in the Word of God! As Tanya led worship, a beautiful presence of the Lord arrived in to the building! I was tremendously blessed to see how God has been growing this young couple thru the years! I have received a lot of feedback from the leaders who expressed joy, thanks and a will to grow in the Lord and start a street children center in Cherkessk. It is so cool when people of God go to the Word, hear the voice of the Lord, obey Him and start serving community out of Christ' Love! God's Love in Action! It touches and strengthens me to continue traveling and grow bigger people in Jesus! Please pray for Garrik and Tanya as they take care of the church and grow leaders who are able to pastor the congregation as a team! Also pray for an upcoming work with the street kids, please ask God to meet the financial need.
