Dear Friends, Partners and Family!!!!
Happy New Year!!!! May the Lord bless you this new year with His grace and mercy!!! A New Year is upon us and the Lord is still tarrying!!! It means that we shall keep serving and loving Him and people around us! Jesus is AWESOME and full of grace and mercy and He so loves us! Olga and I are approaching our 19th anniversary this year! We arrived in the Kingdom 18 years ago. What a journey and adventure it has been! WE AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! You have blessed the Lord with what you had done with your lives!
The year of 2010 has been another one in which we saw the Lord move in Russia and the Former Soviet Union in such powerful ways! First of all, young adults, youth and the children of Light of Hope Church and Shelter are growing in the Lord. And the cool thing is that the Lord Himself is growing them! Hallelujah! We see the change going on in Andrey and Svetlana's life since they moved to the small village of Anisimovo to start a new work there. Thank you Jesus! I remember clearly the word of the Lord Andrey shared with us, the Lord spoke to him that the true source of Peace could be found in the surrender of the will.
In 2010 He has used us to plant a church in Cherepovets and a small home Bible study in Anisimovo. For that, we thank Jesus! Abner Kalinkin and Andrey Sorokin gather people on Sundays and Thursdays to worship and get into the Word and prayer! The Lord used Olga and I to plant Light of Hope Shelter in Severodvinsk. Victor Elizarov, Konstantin Rogov and Andrew Kachan are doing a great job there helping street children get saved and become the children of God! Alex and Nate, Svetlana and Olga, Victor Kot and Yuri, Vitaly and Julia and all of us at ICM Russia take an active part in building the Kingdom in Russia! It brings such joy to our hearts to hear His people work hard in the missions field, singing praises unto Him with such love and enthusiasm! Abner shared with Olga recently that the people who attend church just love to listen to the Word of God and be in His presence. The adults and kids seem to be understanding what the Word says and the importance of reading the Scriptures verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, book-by-book for themselves. So, what can we say but GLORY TO GOD!
Another blessing is Inductive Bible Study Seminar we are holding in different churches, theological seminaries, rehab centers, etc. We are so blessed to be able to go and make disciples in all the nations! We strongly believe Jesus called us to the nations! It is a great joy to see the open door for us to come in and equip pastors, church leaders and believers for the work of ministry. It is huge when we see God's people taking responsibilities and moving on and starting new ministries and churches. That's our vision to grow bigger people in Christ, we are tremendously blessed to see them following Jesus and building the Kingdom!!! The saints are growing in the Lord and starting to serve Him whole-heartily! What a year it has been! So much done, so much fruit, so many blessings that I cannot even start to mention them for there are not enough lines on this blog page. The door is still open to start building a House of Prayer in Anisimovo and we are just waiting on the Lord! Please keep praying that His will be done and we will meet in the place He has for us. Also, we are in no hurry to run ahead of the cart but simply wait on the Lord!
We pray that the Lord would move even more powerfully this New Year and that God would bless you, our dearest friends and partners and your families!
Love you dearly, Igor and Olga
