Dear Friend in the Lord,

Warmest greetings to you in that Worthy Name of the One who is Exalted! Thank you for your gracious giving and prayers for this ministry to our Lord Jesus, as we present the Word of Life to the Jewish and non-Jewish People for their salvation in Him, and the worship of the Lamb. Your fellowship in the Gospel is greatly appreciated. May you know His richest blessing and joy as you honor Him.

Let me remind the promise He gives to Israel in Isaiah 30:18 concerning her future salvation: “And therefore will the Lord wait, in order that He may be gracious to you, and therefore He be exalted, so that He may have mercy upon you. Blessed are all they that wait for him”. Israel will know Him and His mercy as a result of our witnesses to these people with our prayers.

As we remember Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:1. “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved”.  The Apostle Paul writes to every saved Gentile, “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their (the Jews) unbelief: even so have these now not believed, that through your mercy they (the Jews) also may obtain mercy.” Paul reminds every believer whom the Lord Jesus has saved from among the Gentiles why he or she is saved, when he writes, “That the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy. (Romans 15:9a). The same word “mercy” is used by Paul in Romans 15:9 and 11:30 -31. He is showing us in these verses how every saved Gentile is to glorify God in His Will for the mercy he or she has received.

In the month of September, with God’s help we witnessed to more than 1000 people. In Denver CO, with sister churches, we went for a very first time to Boulder area. Boulder is very wealthy place with important college. But a problem is that this place is very liberal and very occult, with very strong lgbt and transgender community. We went to a main area and shared Gospel. We distributed lot of evangelical materials, even most people rejected and some were aggressive. I had a small incident with a woman but everything went  ok. One young lady stopped and told us that she wants Bible. We gave to her. But mainly you felt a very evil spirit in the area. Christ was with us and we won, because the Word was spread among people in Boulder on that day.

In Chicago, IL we witnessed in Millenium Park and Michigan Ave. Also, there were lot of people in presence.  We were singing Christian song, talked and prayed with people, and answered questions. The outreach went very successfully.

In Saint Paul, MN god blessed us and gave an opportunity share before a baseball game of “Saint Paul Saints”. Lot of people were walking toward a stadium. Many of them accepted gospel tracts. Some people got Scriptures for a very first time.

Also, we had an outreach in Greenfield MA. We went to downtown, and mainly witnessed to homeless and drug abused people. I was little surprised to meet very liberal community in this area. Lot of advertisings in stores about lgbt agenda. We distributed good amount of NT’s, even we didn’t meet lot of people. We prayed and answered questions. A good benefit is that the Slavic church which went with me, did this evangelism  for the first time since they were established in the area, I hope that they will continue preaching in the streets because it’s very important.     

Thank you for your faithfulness and partnership that we would be able to grow spiritually in the Lord. Since the war started in Ukraine couple years ago, our support dropping down. We understand of Lord’s signs of End Times and needs in different places, but we also need to not forget share and preach Gospel in our beautiful America.
