We have a lot of things to<br \/>discuss. After that, I and a few<br \/>leaders are going to travel to<br \/>Kazan for a conference. Pray for<br \/>that, too.<br \/>Pray for Easter service which is<br \/>on April 24th this year according<br \/>to the Eastern Calendar. Pray for<br \/>people to come to our<br \/>fellowships and be saved.<br \/>Please pray with us as we think<br \/>and plan for the future events<br \/>even as many things remain<br \/>uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Leader<br \/>This month we are going to tell<br \/>you about a young man who<br \/>yet to become a leader. Marsel<br \/>was a student in our English<br \/>class for several years. He first<br \/>came to us when he was very<br \/>young. Little by little he started<br \/>to stay after our classes for an<br \/>extra cup of tea and discussion.<br \/>It turned out he had problems<br \/>in his family. As we spent more<br \/>time together we discussed<br \/>some Bible stories and he<br \/>shortly received Jesus as Lord<br \/>and Saviour. Marsel boldly<br \/>shared about being born again<br \/>with his family members. His<br \/>life bloossomed and his family<br \/>became our friends in the<br \/>village.<\/p>\n<p>Friends and Family<br \/>Tim and Christinas continue<br \/>their classes. Pray for good<br \/>attitude to the studies and<br \/>good memory. Also, for good<br \/>prep for the final tests.<br \/>Thank you for your standing<br \/>with us during these days. We<br \/>truly appreciate your love and<br \/>prayers.
