Bring them up into the high mountain

Of all the disciples Peter, James and John were the closest to Jesus. He took them apart from the twelve and showed them very deep moments on the mountain. He chose the twelve out of the 72. He saw their desire to be with him. This shows to us the circles of discipleship. God sees our desire and strives for Him and brings us closer. This pattern we can see as we do ministry in the foreign land. So, where do we choose to be today? Among the 72? Or in the 12? Or, maybe even in the 3 with Peter, John, and James? He sees our hearts and our desires to strive to reach him how he has reached us.

For All Club

We’ve had two of our clubs in the new year. Hall was full of both. Some people came because their friends told them about Christians and they were curious to see what it is like. We had a great time both times. Be in prayer for the hearts of those people. Pray that those non-Christian attenders would decide to make a next step to visit our Church’s picnic on May 9th. Pray that the Holy Spirit continues to work in their hearts leading to accepting Jesus as their personal Savior.

Praise and Prayer Points

We are going to have a workshop for our leaders in late March. It is a time where we meet and discuss plans for outreach. Please pray for our church’s picnic on May 9th. It is a unique time where we spend time together with those who are “close to the church”. Also, continue to pray for the preparation for our Summer Family Camp. And of course, Easter. Pray that the worship halls are full on that day. Please pray that our leaders continue to make disciples in an effective way.

Friends and Family

Tim and Christina are a great bridge to Liliya’s Muslim relatives. Sometimes they listen to them more because they partly represent their nation. Pray that they would have opportunities to share the good news with our Tatar part of the family. Continue to pray for Liliya’s father too. It is surprising how long he has been living under his condition. Apparently, because of the prayers of the saints and good care.
Thank you for your faithful prayer and support of this work of the Kingdom!
