Greetings, our dear brothers and sisters!
We praise the Lord for His mercy and grace, and the opportunity to continue serving Him in Armenia.
We are glad to tell you about our latest news, blessings and challenges that have been through our service in May and June.
In May, two couples from our new church got married. Recently, one more couple has started to go to our church, and they have been already engaged. We took them with love, and in the end of May their marriage took place.
Our family trip to Ukraine still remains in force. Due to the lack of funds, we consider the option that Natasha with her baby and Christina will go, and I will stay with the other children at home. Friends, pray for this situation, please, that the Lord give us wisdom to solve this situation.
By the grace of God we had an epiphany on June 15. 11 members of the new church in Yerevan made a covenant with the Lord! It was a very special occasion for the new young church. We went with the church to the countryside, held a worship service and Baptism. There were a lot of new non-believers, mostly parents and relatives of the baptized. The Lord gave a great opportunity to proclaim the Gospel not only at the general meeting, but most importantly, during the private conversations in a relaxed atmosphere.
Also we are planning the camp on the shores of Lake Sevan. We want to conduct a camp “50×50” – each believer invites one of his unbelieving friend. And not just inviting, but also promises to care, to pray and to keep in touch with this person throughout the year. The theme of the camp “Our values” – is relevant for both believers and unbelievers.
Thank you for your prayers and support. We ask you to continue praying and supporting the ministry in Armenia. God bless you!
With love and prayers from Armenia,
your brother Arthur Marandyan
