In a previous update, I wrote that a young family, Yuri and Sarah Gula, came to visit us. Our ministry here ends this summer. We will be happy if Yura and Sarah will continue this work.
Together with them we visited another family of missionaries – Sergey and Lilia Svichhev. Us and their blessed family prayed together for a new light of hope for the Russian speaking population in Lyon, France.
We met with pastors of two churches, we hope the Lord will open the door in this city so that there will be a community and a place where this community will be able to meet. They asked to pray for them and their ministry. In France, this city is called – Student City. There are many universities and students from all over the world. Of these, quite a few are Russian speaking.
Arriving from Lyon, Yuris car broke down. For a long time we could not understand why the fuel does not flow into the engine from the tank. We thought it would be expensive to fix, because the pump seemed to be broken.
But thank God, an Italian named Raphael found the cause, and quickly fixed it. Yuri and Sarah could return home without any more obstacles. These are common problems in the work of a missionary.
The Gospel in Western Europe is urgently needed so that once Christian countries do not become atheistic. If the Lord urges you to come on a mission to Europe to help open new churches, write to us. We will be happy to help with anything we can.
Thank you from the heart for your participation in our ministry!
