There came a rich man of Arimathaea
Disciples of Jesus fulfill His will. Joseph from Arimathaea was not among the twelve when Jesus was walking on this earth. He is not mentioned elsewhere in the canonical Bible. Yet when the time came, he came up on the scene, went all the way to Pilat to ask for the body. He also gave his new tomb for the burial of Jesus. He used his position and fortune to glorify the Lord by properly burying the body. As we preach the gospel here, we encounter such people who may not come to every Bible study group but who may fulfill his commands daily to make him happy. It is amazing how the Lord shows his work among the unreached.
ESL students
We continued our meetings with our students. It is so nice to see how the Lord is working in and around their lives. We heard stories recently how someone came to Christ among their relatives. Other times we heard that someone’s husband used to be in contact with the Christians. All these portray to us the scope and extent to which God is working around them. Continue to pray for this ESL community that everyone would have a spiritual hunger for the truth. Pray that they all be saved and rooted in a local church.
Featured Leader
Aidar is a man who grew up in the Soviet Union. He went to the army to serve standard 2-year mandatory service. In the army he first heard the gospel from a man who was finishing his term. After this, he had a long 30+ years wandering in the world until one day a friend of his invited him to our For All Club. He got saved a few months later. Now he helps with our For All Club. Pray for this man to discern his spiritual gift and praise the Lord with it.
Please pray for our summer plans so that we could discern his leading for the upcoming summer. Could you also pray for $300 that we need to pay for websites and hosting for this year to keep us running.
Friends and Family
Timothy began to write his annual tests. Then he is going to sit at the standardized state exam in May. Pray for Tim and Christina to be diligent students in their exam preparations. Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
