The world has changed, but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Over the past week, our family received a lot of letters of thanks from the families we serve. They thank the Almighty for us and you, for taking care of them, for prayers.

The history of us befriending families in Ingushetia began in the spring of 2018. We were in Ingushetia at that time for 7 months already. Much in the Islamic tradition was interesting to us, and my wife Anya and I looked for any opportunity to get to know them.

We met with the family of Ruslan and Amina 2 years ago. They are a traditional Ingush family, 3 children (two girls and a teenage boy). The family lived in a small plywood house of 20 m² (215sf). Here they huddled for about 7 years.

On Christmas, we visited 13 families of our friends. We gave gifts to children and groceries to each family. In every house we were we were greeted with a festive table. We talked about the story of Jesus or Isa, as the Ingush call Jesus.

For 230 years after the adoption of Islam in Ingushetia there was not a single church. God immediately began to open doors for us to many families. For 2 years we have been visiting our friends.

My name is Maxim, I am 35 years old and married to Anya, she is 4 years younger than me. God gave us two wonderful babies, our daughter Danu and our son Daniel. We met 5 years ago, back then, none of us even thought that we would soon become a family and would live...
