Looking back on April

Another wedding at Church:
We had another wedding on the 23rd of April. One of our Church members and a dear friend Lera (Valeri) got married to an American brother Jacob Nelson. Both of them feel called to serve the Lord full time and it will be interesting to see how the Lord will use them as a couple to display His glory through them and their marriage. They intend to join the missionary training program this fall.

Current Matters - April


Missionary training students update:
Szymon and Vali are in transition at the moment getting ready to go to their new places of ministry. Due to internal regulations they could stay in India only for 3 months. Szymon will go to Pitest, Romania  to serve with the local church there along with Florin Soare (dear brother), and Vali will go to Radom, Poland to serve with Steve Snyder.
Other students are continuing strong at their places of ministry.

Dear family and friends

Dear family and friends:

The Lord has blessed us with a busy and a wonderful month. So let me share with you what He has been doing in us, with us, through us and despite us.

Looking back on March

English Outreach:

From the 12th of March till the 20th we had a team from Clear Lake, Iowa come and serve to us and with us (us meaning the Church) and that was exciting. The Lord opened up many doors like HIV center, facility for taking care of the HIV affected individuals and families and also the doors of the public schools. We had programs there and used them to invite people to the American Clubs in the evenings. God has exceeded our expectations by bringing a large number of people to evening American Clubs where the team members got to share the Gospel in a form of an interview. We were excited about it since it made the Gospel presentation more of a relational rather than informative only. People seemed to respond well and some would want to learn more and some agreed to having a Bible Study together. That was just exciting. It was a great encouragement for us to see how the Church and the team worked together for the sake of the Gospel serving each other with the gifts the Lord has given to them. It was a blessing to see the Lord at work.





Looking Back on March


Mikki’s eye and the staff conference:

On the 20th of March we took a trip to Arkadiy’s hometown to apply for the visa for Slovakia in order to go to the staff conference. While waiting for the visa applications to be processed we did most of our “doctor visits”. The eye doctor said the Mikki will need another incision to be done on his eye. So, we did it and praise the Lord, the eye looks the best we have ever seen it! We are grateful!
The staff conference went well and it was a good time of visiting with friends who are serving the Lord in various parts of the world. It was an encouragement to hear about the Lord’s work worldwide.
