Dear Friend
in the
Messiah,
Shalom and
warmest
greetings to
you. Thank
you very
much for
your
faithful
support by
your prayers
and
financial
giving. It
is a
privilege
for me to
write you a
letter about
the work of
the Beth-El.
Thank you to
be a
co-laborers
and partners
together.
One
unknown
author said,
“For the
days are
dark and the
work is
great, and
the time is
slipping
away, so
whatever we
think of
doing for
God we had
better do it
today.” I
believe that
Jesus is
coming very
soon. Maybe
for us it is
the last
opportunity
to share the
good news to
the people
around. I
believe, the
best
blessing
that we can
give to the
people is to
let them
know about
Jesus as a
Redeemer and
only the way
to be saved
because
without
Jesus, there
is no
salvation.
In the month
of July God
blessed us
to witness
to more than
1000 people
in Ohio,
Minnesota
and
Pennsylvania.
In this
letter I
will share
about
previous
outreaches.
In
Portland, OR
within a
couple of
hours we
shared
Gospel in
Downtown-
Pioneer
Square area.
In the
beginning we
met 2 Arab
Muslims.
They were
interested
to hear
about Jesus
as a Savior
and Lord.
When I
offered to
them Holy
Scriptures
only one
person
accepted.
After that I
chose to do
air
preaching by
standing
across a big
train
station and
spread the
Word.
Portland is
very
aggressive
and ungodly
city, but
this time
there were
not any
accidents.
Just a
couple
persons were
very angry
at me. There
was a
feminist
lesbian
group of
women with
t-shirts
sign: “Trust
in the
woman”. I
tried to
witness to
one lady
from the
group, but
she did not
want to
listen. At
the end I
said to her
that we need
trust in the
God only.
In
Minneapolis,
MN we
witnessed to
a very large
group of
people who
participated
on “Golden
ladies” and
gay parade
festivals.
There were
hundreds. We
did not
expect that
on that day
the gay
event was
scheduled.
God
tremendously
blessed us.
Gay people
tried to
physically
abuse us,
poured water
on us,
provoked by
taking off
some clothe
to become
naked,
screaming,
and saying
bad words.
But our
message was
that God
loves them
as souls,
and commands
to repent.
Some people
stopped and
asked
questions
about a way
of the
Salvation.
We have a
professional
30 minutes
video of
this
evangelism.
Visit our
YouTube and
watch. We
also had an
opportunity
to witness
to hundreds
of people
who attended
a Broadway
show
“Wicked”.
In
Sacramento
CA, within 2
days, we
were
witnessing
to people in
Old
Sacramento
Music
festival. We
met lot of
people. Some
were open,
some were
even angry
and
aggressive.
One person
after
witness told
me that he
can’t come
to the Lord
because he
is cheating
his wife. I
told him
that God has
enough grace
and mercy to
help him,
but he needs
to repent.
Another 2
young men,
who were
under drugs,
stopped, and
accepted
Holy
Scriptures.
Hope that
they’ll read
the Word. A
young lady
also got NT.
Lot of
people were
complaining
on me. I
remember
that when I
publicly
started to
preach
across a
restaurant,
some people
came to me.
They told me
that I am
saying in my
message that
Jesus is
only the way
to be saved.
They
mentioned
that some
Muslims,
Buddhist and
other people
are hearing
me and it’s
offending
them. I
replied
that’s I am
proclaiming
the only the
way to be
saved in
Christ Jesus
so people
could know
this. And I
am praying
that they
could start
to think,
because God
loves them
and wants
that they
hear this
Wonderful
News.
On
Independence
Day, my wife
Tatiana, my
son Daniel
and I went
to an outlet
stores park
area in
Aurora OH.
We met
several
Muslim
families who
accepted
Gospel of
John in
Arabic and
other
literature.
A Chinese
lady got NT.
A woman from
England
received NT
as well. We
witnessed to
couple
families
from India.
An Armenian
family who
spoke
Russian,
after I
tried to
share Gospel
with them,
told me that
they don’t
need it,
because they
already are
Christians.
They also
told me that
Armenians
were first
Christians
on the
Earth. When
I disagreed
with them
and said
that the
first
Christians
were Jews,
they did not
want to
continue
talk with
me.
Thank you
for your
faithfulness
and
partnership.
Thank you
for your
prayers for
my family.
Please
continue
pray for my
son Daniel.
There is not
changes in
his mental
illness
condition
yet.
Pray for
Israel and
for the
peace of
Yerushalaim
(Psalm
122:6).
Recently we
remembered 9
Av which is
the most
tragic date
in history
of Jewish
people.
