SERVING THE WORD OF GOD IN SACRAMENTO

APRIL UPDATE

Greetings Precious Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you for your faithfulness to partner with Olga and I in our ministry through your prayers and support as we travel around the world training up and equipping leaders, discipling the church of Jesus Christ, witnessing and ministering to the lost. Eternity will reveal the fruit of our labors and your prayers! You have already read about missions opportunities the Lord had given to us in the month of February and March on our web page www.icmrussia.blogspot.com; in this letter I would like to share about what God has in mind for the month of April and May.

On April 3, Olga and I are teaching an Inductive Bible Study Workshop to the youth at Calvary Placerville, CA. We are praying the group of youngsters would be receptive and desirous to learn how to study the Word of God so they could minister to their Home Bible Study flock. It is going to be our pleasure to spend 2 weeks here in Placerville with this group, getting to know them, enjoying their company, and hearing their challenges and praises!

After we are done with the youth, we travel to Sunnyvale where we are going to minister to the homeless of San Francisco, Sunnyvale area. It is going to be an evangelistic event, which is called Refuge Service. Olga and I will give our testimonies and declare the Good News of Jesus Christ teaching from the Word! Before we give our testimonies and minister the Word, we will spend time with the guys worshipping the Lord! That’s what we do! We love worshipping the Lord! I was asked to minister and pray for the folks after the outreach service. While we are there, Olga and I might stay some extra days with Lyford and Martha Morris joining the fellowship of believers they attend faithfully! It is always a great joy to be with them and to be able to hear about the wonderful work the Lord is doing in them and through them in the Philippines. From there Olga and I will travel to Sacramento where we have a couple of doctor’s appointments. The latter part of April we might travel to So. California to meet with ICM director and staff. It is always a huge blessing to spend time with Dan and Debbie Finfrock, Eddie, Nylinda and others and share our hearts together.

In the month of May we are booked to teach at Calvary Shingle Springs, CA. We will be teaching Inductive studies for a couple of weeks over there. We pray the Lord would greatly bless this trip in every way, we pray we could minister effectively and experience things of God like never before. I know that Olga and I are privileged to see the Body of Christ in many cities worldwide and experience the joy of seeing some new folks coming to salvation in Jesus Christ.

In Russia our ICM Crew is going to conduct some Inductive Bible Study seminars as well. Please pray for Alex and Luba, Nate and Svetlana, Abner and Ira, Andrew and Svetlana, Eugene and Natasha, Garik and Tanya, Victor and Luba, Yuri and Alla, Victor and Alyona, this group of ministers is always a joy to work with to advance the Kingdom of God!!!! Our life long friendships were formed by Jesus in past 10 years. Olga and I would like to extend an invitation to all of you who partnered with us to be in prayer for our future missions trips to Ireland and Russia! Olga and I would like you to participate in both trips prayerfully and financially! Please contact us with any questions that you may have!

In the month of June, Olga and I will take a trip to New Port News, Virginia to partner with Beauty For Ashes Ministries and Church as they hold Bible School there in their facility. As always it is a great joy to be with my wife and BFA pastors as well as other church leaders from the community who will gather together to participate in the Inductive Bible Study Workshop. Olga and I always enjoy being around Bible school students; they have such an excitement and interest in the Word of God! Pray that the Lord guide and direct students as they do 5 assignments in writing!

We feel fulfilled as God mightily uses us for His Kingdom! Please pray for us as we travel, worship, teach, train and equip the saint for the work of ministry! Blessings to you all!

In His joy, Igor and Olga
