Dear Friends and Partners,
I hope all is going well for all of you! This last month has been a full month for Olga, myself and our missions team. I am very excited to share it with you! Please read this letter and keep up with my blog because there will be more frequent updates now that I am back from our missions trip to Israel. When you read this, chances are I will have already left for St. Pete with my mom for a check up. This one is to check if there are cancer cells there in her esophagus. In July she will have to go through chemo therapy. I would ask that you keep the trip in your mind and prayers.
Each month Jesus gives us ministry opportunities to glorify God's Word. Using our time well, exercising the gifts the Holy Spirit has given to us, and making wise use of the finances God has entrusted to us are only few of the many ways in which we honor God. In Akhtubinsk we were able to glorify Jesus through the Productive Bible Study seminars. We encouraged participants there to make sure that they develop close relations with the Father. Sadly, it is reported that very few pastors and small Bible study leaders spend more than 30 minutes a week to study the Word. Today we see a lot of Russian ministers having hunger for the Word and wanting to spend more time in the Bible but having no clue where to start. We sent ICM-Russia crew to Akhtubinsk to meet the spiritual need and help the people there understand IBS principles and apply them in their daily walk with the Lord. Alex and Luba Alexandroff had to travel thousands of kilometers to give IBS course at no cost for the participants. Because you sent your love gift to us, we could help the saint grow in the Lord and become mature Christians. More than 50 lay ministers took the course and got the blessing! Please help us bring this life-changing course to each and every denomination and church in the former Soviet Union and to the ends of the Earth by giving to the ministry! Thank you so very much!
