PRAISE REPORT FROM RUSSIA

Dear Co-laborer in Christ!

Glory to Jesus Christ forever! Olga and I greet you in His All-Powerful Name!

From Moscow to Belfast and from Cherepovets to Severodvinsk, and from Vologda to California we like Philip the Evangelist and Minister of the Word, have been following the Spirit of God who was saying to us "Go up and join this chariot!"

So, ICM of Russia Crew and JVC Team joined the "chariot" of the Good News Church and Light of Hope Church of Cherepovets where we encouraged and equipped the saints for the work of service! I can attest to the presence of God in the services ministering to the saints of the church.  Lives were changed while others were healed. We praise Jesus with no ceasing for that! God is awesome! His Word is mighty to change lives and heal souls!

Afterward, we found ourselves sitting in the "chariot" of Light of Hope Fellowship in Anisimovo and then Transformation Church of Vologda holding meetings and equipping the saints for the work of ministry there.  People of God were encouraged and refreshed by the Word of Life!

From there the Spirit led us to the "chariot" of Heart2Heart Church, Severodvinsk where we spent a week together with 20 ministers who wanted to learn how to do Inductive Bible Study Seminars all over Archangelsk Region, Russia. As a result, 5 of them passed the test and are ready to go and hold IBS Training Seminars in their communities.

From there the Spirit brought us over to the States to meet with ICM of Russia Support Group and share ICM of Russia vision for 2013 with churches here and individuals! Also we are going to teach IBS seminars here in the United States and train and equip the saints with the Inductibve Bible Study tools so that they can teach faithful men in their congregations.

ICM of Russia Crew (Abner, Nelly, Nate, etc)  just joined a "chariot" of City Orphanage 1 to celebrate kids' birthdays! It was an awesome time with our children! Jesus came to the Cafe and ministered to the children in a mighty way! The Cafe we had birthday celebration at, provided for everyone who came to the party with lots of yummy food! ICM of Russia Team spoke the blessing into kids' lives, prayed over them, shared from the Word and gave kids the gifts. Nate had lots of fun taking bunch of pictures during the project! Abner and Nate will upload pictures to our web page shortly!

This fall ICM of Russia has been serving in various churches located thoughout of Russia and Ireland feeding the faithful, teaching the Word, and equipping the saints with IBS tools so that they can lift up their eyes to Jesus and understand His Word and fullfil the Great Commission Jesus has given to them. The Commission that will take Olga and I to Virginia, USA and the Phillipines together with missionaries Lyford and Martha Morris in 2013.

Please pray for Olga and I and ICM of Russia. Would you consider sending an extraordinary love-gift this month to help us in this all important work? This coming March I will turn 49. It has been 20+ years since God sovereignly and graciously called and empowered Olga and I to be His witnesses to the nations! Amazing God is faithful!
