Last year I helped start a mission group study that met every Wednesday. When I left for America I left the group in the care of the leader Dima Batin. In February Nate returned to Russia after spending a few months in the States. I was glad to hear that he has been able to step in and help with the group for a little bit till Olga and I get back to Russia, even help with leading them through the word. I was also glad to hear that they followed our example and have been going through the Bible inductively. Nate was able to teach, with Sveta translating for him, from 1 Peter 4, about how we are the living stones used to build the temple of the Lord.
I was also glad to hear the Nate was able to cover for Anber on two occasions. Abner is really busy these days between his family, work, starting a church, and leading a home-group Bible study. He was not able to do one of the home-groups and had to do an outreach during one of the Light of Hope Church services. Nate was more than happy and able to cover for Anber on both of these occasions.
Please keep in prayer what the Lord has in store for us in ICM Russia and the Light of Hope Church we are starting. Walking through the streets of Cherepovets it is easy get overwhelmed when you see all that could be done and the help that is needed. There is so much to do Russia it has to be from the Lord, in the Lord’s leading, in His timing, and in only His power! Please keep us all ministering in Russia in your prayer as the Lord lays it on your heart. Please pray that we would be changed by the teaching of the Word, so that we would be set on fire to change the world around us.
