Holocaust, 9\/11, the<br \/>coronavirus pandemic etc.<br \/>People start to think there got to<br \/>be something to cling to. Well,<br \/>we know what it is. It\u2019s the<br \/>Church. Established by God to<br \/>be the pillar and ground of the<br \/>truth on this earth until His<br \/>returns. Far more than your local<br \/>fellowship it spans across the<br \/>earth. Those tiny and large buds<br \/>of the Body of Christ do exist on<br \/>all six continents. Some live in<br \/>freedom, some in abandonment<br \/>or even underground. But all<br \/>represent Christ on this earth,<br \/>His truth and His love. When the<br \/>times get darker, His Church<br \/>shines brighter.<\/p>\n<p>ESL classes and Planning<br \/>We continue to conduct classes<br \/>and teach English as Second<br \/>Language for Kingdom\u2019s<br \/>purposes. Please pray for us to<br \/>be creative in \u201cpreaching\u201d the<br \/>good news without actual<br \/>preaching. In the light of the<br \/>recent events, we see our<br \/>students are being very<br \/>sensitive.<br \/>Pray for our next Workshop for<br \/>prospective leaders in April.<br \/>Also, pray for wisdom in<br \/>planning and choosing the right<br \/>dates for our summer activities.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Leader<br \/>Vladimir was born when the<br \/>Soviet Union was about to<br \/>collaps. He went to Soviet school<br \/>and then to a trade college after<br \/>that. At the age of 14 he was first<br \/>introduced to the gospel. He<br \/>liked the fellowship with the<br \/>Christians but decided to choose<br \/>his own path. For 20 years he has<br \/>lived the life of a bumpy road.<br \/>Finally he surrendered to Jesus<br \/>and started to be His faithful<br \/>follower. He faced opposition<br \/>because of his decision from his<br \/>relatives but carried on. Now he<br \/>is on fire for the Lord and ready<br \/>to go to the ends of the earth for<br \/>Him. Please pray for this brother<br \/>to discern his spiritual gifts to<br \/>take his place in the body of<br \/>Christ.<br \/>Friends and Family<br \/>We thank the Lord for successful<br \/>completion of Tim\u2019s half-year<br \/>exams. That is truly a blessing.<br \/>Now, Christina has started pre-K<br \/>classes. Please pray for both of<br \/>them to grow in the Lord and<br \/>their studies.<br \/>Please know that we deeply<br \/>appreciate your prayer about<br \/>this ministry. Thank you so much<br \/>for holding our hands for this<br \/>land!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time the dark times comeeveryone starts to seek for thetruth.
