Dear Friend in the Messiah,
Shalom and Warmest greetings to you in
Yeshua our Redeemer.
I hope this letter will find you well. Thank
you very much for all your help by prayer
fellowship at the Throne of Grace and
financial supporting of our ministry. Your
help is greatly valued and is helping
because of the Power and efficacy of His
Precious Blood!
Psalm 133:1 says: “Behold, how good and how
pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell
together in unity!"(KJV). When you help the
work of this ministry, you go with us to
every street, house, Hospital. You are going
to witnessing and taking the Word of God to
the thousand Russian speaking Jewish and
non-Jewish people in our city, Israelites,
Muslims and others. Lord values your
faithfulness. Everyone will have their
reward. God promised this through Abraham in
Genesis 12:3. Faithful over a little will be
set over much. If you took a plough to your
hand you shouldn’t watch back. We will plow
and sow this field with faith. We believe
that we will have a good harvest. The flood
of the Holy Spirit spreads around this land
and cleanses it. We are called to do
everything for the Lord. We believe, that
purity and holiness will be as a part of our
born again life in the Messiah. Thank you
very much whom faithfully remember us.
In July, we witnessed by the grace of the
Lord, to more than 1000 people in Toronto
Canada, Minneapolis MN, Denver CO,
Pittsburgh PA, and Cleveland OH.
Toronto is a city where several hundred
thousand Russian Speaking Jewish people
live. Huge mega polis, and very
multicultural, where you see people around
the world. Canada is not USA, and she does
not have of free speech religion freedom.
So…if you say about sin of homosexuality you
may be arrested. I, previously, was treated
twice to be arrested there. But time by
time, we do outreaches there, and want to do
it more like before. This time, with
friends, we had an opportunity to share
Gospel in a plaza, in center of North York
area. God blessed us to witness to Jewish
people, and several NT’s were distributed.
We also met a Canadian Jew, who spoke very
good Yiddish, and he also agreed to accept
Holy Scriptures. Please pray for Toronto,
for more Evangelical work there, and more
Russian Speaking missionaries.
In Old Sacramento CA, we also had an
Evangelism. There always gathering lot of
people. We used a public platform to share
Gospel. I met several Muslim families. Some
of them accepted NT’s in Arabic.
In Rochester NY, with friends from a local
church, we went to downtown. Met some
people, shared Gospel, distributed Bibles
and prayed for people. Some people asked
questions, but mainly were open for the
Gospel. Met a Muslim woman who got NT in
Arabic. At the end we had a conflict with a
group called “Black Israelites”. They
calling themselves Christians but they are
not. Very racist and aggressive group. We
had a discussion with them, but shortly
understood, that we would better to leave.
This group believes, that black people are
true Jews, and Jesus was black, and that
white people are liars, and their main
enemies. How it could be connecting with
Christianity if they have so much hate to
others? That’s why they are heretic
movement, and Praise God that we have much
more African American brothers and sisters
who are true Christians.
In an airport I met a man from Morocco who
accepted Gospel of John in Arabic. A
Palestinian also received Injil- New
Testament in Arabic.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership.
People from our congregation send to you
Shalom and thanks. All of my family is very
appreciative for your prayers. Please
continue to pray so that God will send more
faithful supporters to our ministry. If you
have opportunity to help us by prayers and
finances please help so that we can continue
to reach people for the Messiah Yeshua.
Please pray to help us by your donations, as
we continue struggling financially.
If God leads your hearts to support us,
please send your donations to Beth-El
Messianic Congregation and Ministries, P.O.
Box 360165, Cleveland, OH, 44136. All
donations are tax deductible.
May the Lord -God of Israel richly bless
you. Please pray for Israel as we see that
there are more and more attacks against
God’s chosen people.
Maran Ata! Shalom in Yeshua, Beth-El
Messianic Congregation and Pastor Igor.
