 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.
