We urgently share with you our prayer request, which cries out from our hearts. We believe that whatever we ask in His name, we will receive. We trust in the power of prayer, and a “cord of three strands” is a rope reaching to Heaven.
Our ministry is expanding, and opportunities to bring more fruit to Him are multiplying—especially in children’s ministry. The work is there, and it can grow, but we lack a dedicated, responsible person who would wholeheartedly commit to it.
We regularly receive visitors who serve for a month or two, and the ministry moves forward and develops. But when they leave, we are left with the responsibility of continuing the work they started.
Currently, we have at least three locations with about 70 children, where we organize active games, study Scripture through films, and do Bible-themed coloring activities. Our church today has around 30 Russian-speaking members, but only five dedicated servants actively participate in ministry.
We are praying for local people to join us in this mission. We are waiting for an answer and trusting that the Lord will provide.
Beloved friends, we share this cry from the heart with you. We deeply thank you for your prayers and support in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, spreading the Gospel of God’s grace in Southeast Asia.
For Christmas, we visited Laos, distributing printed materials such as calendars, brochures, and postcards. We served the poor lepers and sent money to the family of a missionary who was recently killed for his faith. We also purchased construction sets and t-shirts for the children’s ministry.
In Vietnam, we started organizing a children’s program in the Raglai tribe. It was initially very difficult; it was hard to gather the children, but eventually, the crowd grew so large that we ran out of the 50 gifts we had prepared. We were thankful to have some treats with us to distribute as well. We ended the celebration with Bible stories and coloring books. Those who stood out received special prizes.
This year, we have a special need and ask for your prayer support. The space we are renting for our Sunday services has become too small, as more and more people are attending. We are praying to rent a house where we can gather anytime, 24/7. To do this, we are lacking $300 per month. There are many things we would like to include in this house (we already have experience, as we had such a house for 3 years).
Dear friends, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your ministry here with us. Your prayers and help are contributing to God’s work. Praise God for you.
Dear friends, beloved brothers and sisters, grace and peace be multiplied to you! This year is more special and inspiring than ever. And, as always, we have dared in our Lord Jesus Christ to do more than before. From December 15-20, we are planning a ministry in Laos; we are printing calendars, brochures, preparing food packages, and providing financial support for the wife of the murdered pastor. We plan to distribute 20 food packages and 30 Christmas gifts.
Laos is one of the countries where Christians are persecuted, and gathering is not easy! Today, the country is ruled by a people’s revolutionary communist-type party. It is very dangerous and difficult to serve there.
In Vietnam, we plan to distribute 30 food packages and 70 Christmas gifts. A food package today costs $20, and a gift is $7. Yesterday, I visited one of our families in the Raglai tribe, and our beloved little girl Sue (the little one) was eating a cupcake so happily and deliciously that she was even ready to eat the wrapper. The children, thank God, are very grateful.
We thank you for your caring and loving hearts in spreading His Word in Southeast Asia. May the Lord bless you abundantly.
Sister Evgenia has been living in Vietnam for 8 years and has been working with us in the team for over 6 years. She is responsible for weekly women’s meetings (with up to 15 people), and she also carries out prison ministry in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, meeting with prisoners and telling them about the grace in Christ Jesus. Together, we conduct children’s lessons and activities among local tribes and peoples.
Evgenia does not have support, so living and serving has become more difficult recently. We have a prayer need to help her on a regular basis, at least $100 a month. This would be a dream come true. Please support us in prayer.
Brother Grigory, along with his wife Alexandra and son Savely, have been working in our team for exactly a year. They are from Kazakhstan and were deeply touched by the testimony, which led them to move to Vietnam. We practice showing ministries in neighboring countries, and Grigory has developed a love for the Lao people. He participates in their needs, is involved, and travels there for evangelism. Dear ones, from the bottom of our hearts, we ask you to support Grigory and Alexandra in prayer. I am very grateful to God for bringing us faithful servants in Jesus. We are all very happy to work with you in doing God’s work in Southeast Asia.
We came to Vietnam to sow the Word of God among the local population, but the Lord, as it is written, blesses abundantly. He Himself has started to open up neighboring countries (Laos, Cambodia, Thailand…) for evangelism. Recently, many Russian-speaking people have also been arriving here, and we see they also need salvation.
In the spring, a family (Artem and Alina) came to us from Turkey. Alina believed in Jesus Christ, and in Turkey, she traveled eight hours just to attend services and hear the Word of God. Her husband Artem accompanied her. After moving here, they started attending our services, and Alina greatly desired to receive Holy Water Baptism. Her husband Artem began taking a closer look at the church, attending baptismal classes, and recently, he was baptized. Praise God! Our hearts are filled with joy
Many events are happening here. God blessed us with a vehicle for ministry, just in time as the rainy season begins.
Precious friends, brothers, and sisters, from the heart and soul, we thank you for your labor of love in the shared mission of spreading the Gospel. We are very happy to serve together with you.
Grace and peace to you, dear friends, brothers, and sisters, may they multiply. Recently, we had the opportunity to reach new areas for evangelism. This is 70 kilometers from where we live, near a Christian family from the Raglai tribe, whom we are teaching to observe the Scriptures. As it is written, not everywhere are we accepted, but where we are welcomed, God performs miracles. And so, we have now found two families to share the Gospel with. They live very poorly in the forested mountains. There is nothing in their home; they cook soup over a fire, sleep on the floor, and eat on the floor as well. We prayed with them, and then an insight came to us. When we visited our believing family, we told them that they could go to these people and tell them about Christ and what He has done for them. Our believers began to think deeply about it, and we prayed together. They live very humbly. For example, our brother, who is a leper (without both legs), receives a pension of 24 dollars, 8 of which he pays for utilities, leaving him 16 dollars for food.
We ask you to support us in prayer for this ministry to these people. We sincerely thank you for your labor of love and prayers. May Jesus Christ be glorified abundantly in your life.
