And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:18
Kalmikija
Eugenij Begletsov, with his family, is now at home after traveling to Elista. Small, but gorgeous, Elista met them very warmly. But after a week, the burning sun did not let them go to sleep. At the moment, this missionary family is staying with Zhenya’s mother in a two-bedroom apartment. Thank God that their children are adapting better to the new location. Zhenya is preaching on the Letter to Romans in the church and has begun to study the Epistle of James in the Bible study group. Thank God that He blessed the way to Elista, and then the return of the brothers, who were accompanying them, back to Ukraine. Please pray for the spiritual strengthening of the missionary family, as well as, the encouragement of a healthy local church.
Roma people, Stahanov (Eastern Ukraine)
Aleksej Bezkorovainiy continues to minister to his own people. At the beginning of June, Ruslan’s wife and daughter became Christians. Ruslan is a man, who repented about half a year ago. Brothers and sisters from Stahanov church are invited to visit the neighboring cities for evangelism and spiritual support. So, simply saying, they are going into the yards of nine-storey houses, singing, preaching the gospel, and calling people to follow God. God is restoring people to life as He always has. We experience joy, when we hear how God makes His wonders among the Roma people. “His Name shall be glorified forever!”
Middle Asia
Our brother, Yurij Stefanko, and his family traveled to Asia for the summer to encourage God’s faithful and preach the gospel to the relatives of those Tatars, whom he met in the Crimea. The Lord was keeping them safe during the traveling. All boundaries were passed without any problems. However, the last border took an entire day to pass. We pray for God’s protection and successful preaching of the Gospel now.
Crimea
On the peninsula there was a summer rotation. Rustam and his family, who are studying in the Donetsk Christian University, have temporarily moved to Stefanko’s place in Novofedorovka. Pray that their presence in Crimea will be useful and blessed in expand God’s kingdom.
Armenija
The Yezidis: The conference for all the Yezids in Armenia took place on May 18th. The conference was organized by brother and pastor Milaz. Their church is located in the settlement of Nor-Achn. It was a very warm and true brotherly atmosphere. In the end of the conference, all the participants agreed that they should unite efforts and be united in this period, especially since there are few people left. Also, we pray and believe that we will prepare students who will then go as missionaries to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey. Brother Milaz is already preparing the foundation for it. He asked us to join together to work in this direction.
Yerevan: The Church “Ararat” in Yerevan is experiencing a special period now. For the past two years, an unusual silence has been in the church. God gave us this time for a reason. We accumulated a lot of issues that blocked the growth of the church. We thank our Lord that He has given us wisdom to see it, to draw conclusions, and to make decisions and to move on.
Kahtsrashen: Little by little, God gives a new awakening in the settlement, as new people come to church. Two men came in April. This May three women have repented. On the third of June, four young men came for the first time to our worship service. Artak with his family temporarily moved to Kahtsrashen and it certainly has had an impact on the efficiency of service.
We are grateful to the Lord for all His blessings and mercy towards us! We put all our needs before His throne for everything happens by His mercy and grace towards us, people! May His Name be glorified in us and through our lives!
