House of Mercy “Bethesda”

Off-Road for Christmas

In anticipation of Christmas, our team, consisting of adults, youth, and teenagers, embarked on a journey to Muslim villages. Over 4 days, we covered 1500 km (about 932 miles), including 750 km (about 466 miles) off-road, and visited 12 settlements.

Bethesda – house of mercy

We returned a few days ago from a two-week missionary trip. We prayed for that trip many years, and behold, glory to the Lord it took place. The Lord let me drive 5 thousand km through the western part of Russia. We visited 7 rehabilitation gospel centers and testified of the wonderful things God has done

Bethesda – a holiday on the street

On behalf of everybody, I express to you sincere thanks for your prayers and support in the distribution of Christmas gifts and evangelistic sets – for children and adults. Despite quarantine, we still managed to hold a Christmas performance and gave gifts. 35 children and 44 adults children and adults came from our village.

Taking food to the market

A car is vital to our ministry. We praise the Lord that our ministry is expanding, but the car can no longer handle all the tasks with the assigned functions and tasks. Often you have to go to the city and transport not only people but also products food: cereals, butter, sugar.

Bethesda is Roman’s destiny

Our Lord “ate and drank with the tax collectors and sinners”, because He came for “the sick, not the healthy”. People who turn to us for help are broken by sin. They don’t have destinies, and their souls are dark. But, the Lord is alive and merciful – He gives strength and opportunities, patience and compassion for those whom He brings to our abode.

Bethesda – the father was deceived!

In the middle of August, strangers called me and started telling about an elderly man who needs help. They told me that in the beginning of summer, a middle-aged man brought an old man who could barely walk to an empty house next to them.

Bethesda – the house of mercy

The Lord blessed us with food packages, and we had the opportunity to share them with those in need, in our village and surrounding. We distributed 38 food packages, mostly to big families, the elderly, the unemployed, and the needy. And precisely about one large family that I wanted to tell you about.

Bethesda – the roof was replaced

We don’t have enough words to express our gratefulness. Our hearts are filled with joy. We praise and thank the Lord for your prayers, help and support. One of the serious drawbacks at Bethesda was the old roof.

Bethesda – God did not leave!

Homeless people have been living in Bethesda for many years. We have sheltered them and have weekly bible meetings with them! For some, we help restoring documents, apply for pensions for them, and take them to hospitals. People with amputated limbs are among them!

Christmas is in our village!

My heart rejoices and is filled with joy, which I want to share with you. On January 6th, we had the privilege to proclaim the Good News. Together, we held two Christmas performances in two villages, in Kovalevo – where we live and in the neighboring village Ivanovka.

The House of Mercy "Bethesda"

The Volkov Family is leading a help center, called “Bethesda”, for people who can’t take care of themselves. Currently there are several families living in this community to help put to take care of the elderly.
