Eugene was sentenced to 48 years in prison.

God miraculously revealed to us dungeons in Thailand. Twice a year we visit prisons and bless the condemned.

When visiting Eugene, I always hear his sincere greeting: “Father Alexander, how glad I am to see you.” He is from Moscow, 31 years old, and has been sentenced to prison for 48 years. He is serving his sentence in one of the cruelest prisons in the world, “the Big Tiger”. He is imprisoned for ATM skimming; he copied debit card information and stole money from the accounts. He was caught in Vietnam but was able to negotiate to be expelled from Vietnam the instead of prison time. Having left the country, he arrived in the Bangkok, Thailand and here again he committed a crime. Now he is imprisoned here and was given a term of 48 years. Amnesties are often given in Thailand and Eugene hopes to receive one of them.

He has a loving mother, who could not reconcile herself with such a long time and made every effort to help her son. She hired a lawyer, who convincingly promised her to get him out of prison. He said that Eugene can be released by paying a $70,000 fine.

Without thinking twice, she sold her apartment in the suburbs, transferred it to the lawyer but he simply disappeared with the money. Eugene is now praying and his mother as well, and we also have constant contact with them. Currently, we have around 10 people in prison who we constantly stay in contact with.

My wife Irina has been meeting with Julia several times now, who is serving a 25-year term. During one of the visits, Julia turned to the Lord.

Thank you, friends, brothers and sisters, that together we are doing God’s work, spreading the Gospel of His Kingdom. May God bless and reward you.

With love from the whole team,

We visited 7 prisons in May and prayed and talked with 13 prisoners who are all from different countries.  One hundred visitors are permitted at the same time to make a visit and approximately one hundred prisoners are between us the bars. Guards are always watching. We came to visit two girls, one is from Russia and the other one from Uzbekistan. When we saw that they had a visitor already and didn’t have time for us, we were a little upset.

The visit is limited to 40 minutes, so we stepped aside and prayed. Later Zhenya wrote a note: “Jesus Christ loves you, He forgives all your sins and rose for your redemption.” and we passed the note to one of the guards. He looked at her and it was clear that he didn’t understand what was happening. He knew that he is breaking the rules and asked, ‘for whom’? Zhenya pointed at Leila, the girl from Uzbekistan, and he gave it to her. She read the note and tears started to run from her eyes, the person next to her also started to cry. I prayed for them out loud, it was a great experience. We were inspired by the Lord.

We also visited a guy who is sentenced for 25 years. He came to Christ in prison. The Lord formed through him a community with people from different countries. He preaches in English on Sundays. He was encouraged by our visit. Dear friends, brothers and sisters, we are grateful for your support in God’s work which we are doing together with you through prayers and financial support for the ministry. May God reward you.
