Stas Karpenko/Ufa Bible Ministries Update

The Holy Spirit opens and enlightens the Scriptures to us. When I was reading the Bible very first time in my life after my salvation, I found some places in the God’s Word to be more enlighten than the rest. I found two verses that especially touched my heart. It was from Phil. 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I remember that day well, that when I reached Philippians, I prayed and told God that I would like to serve Him like this. At that time, I wasn’t clearly understanding what world missions are or who are missionaries but I had it playing again and again in my heart. It was just a heart full of gratitude to the Lord for what He had done to find me in this world. And, desire in return to commit my life to Jesus.

ESL, Omicron and Men’s Club
The omicron has finally reached our areas. That means that we won’t be able to start our classess as planned. As of now, a two week delay is projected. In reality it may resume later. Please pray for preseverance of seed of the gospel in the hearts of our students.
Well, we may not do public classes but we can do unpublic! We planned to hold two “extra” meetings of our Men’s club. Those of you who follow our letters probably learned that it has become “everyone’s club”. “Men’s club” is now just a name and everyone is invited. Pray for creativity, boldness and opportunities to share the gospel, for hearts that are softened and willing to accept Christ as their personal Saviour.

Final Thoughts
We have a pressing need to pay for our webhosting services this month. It’s a $280 pay and we humbly bring it to the Lord who provides.
We can’t express how thankful we are for your help interceding for us, and for your love, support, and encouragement to our ministry and family. Thank you!
