IBS Seminar in Yosser

In November Olga and I were glad to be able to send Alex and Luba to a rehab center in Yosser to teach an Inductive Bible Study Seminar. Pastor Viktor Dudin ivited ICM, Russia to come bless the rehab center with this powerful course.
Everyone at the center were blessed as they learned how to study through the Word of God for themselves. Rehab leadership and occupants received the teaching with great eagerness and joy as the seminar unfolded and were eager to put what they learned into practice.
We are blessed that God has allowed us to do these seminars month after month and year after year. It would not be possible without your prayer and massive support.
God is using those of you who support us financially and in prayer in mighty ways to further His kingdom and grow bigger people around us as we go in Jesus' Name!
Thank you for your continued faithfulness and I pray that the Lord would continue to provide for us to minister through our partnership. Our prayer is that you would be filled with the joy and peace or our Lord in this Holiday season, Amen.

Jesus Is a Reason For the Season!

Dearest Partners and Friends and Family,

Olga and I want to just send our love to you this Christmas season. Hopefully you are doing well in the Lord!!! He is good to us! As He spoke to his people in Jeremiah 29:11 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. The same is true for each and every one of us. As we look at the state of our economy and the state of our world, we can hold onto his promises to us. Remember we are not of this world, but in it to shine His light and be the salt of the earth. We are ambassadors of Christ to a lost world. He has great plans for you. It amazes me that the Lord calls us his own and he forgives and chooses to forget all of our failures. What a wonderful and loving God we serve. So, this Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ let the world see Him through us! Once again we thank you for your friendship and your love. Olga and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year if the Lord tarries. We are so grateful to the Lord that he has put you in our lives.

With much love,
Igor and Olga
ICM, Russia
