Belarus

We want to share with you our good news and plans. And I want to Thank You for your prayers and support of our ministry. We appreciate it so much!

As we write you before we work a lot with children from the orphanage house in Berezino town. Many children from there came to church. In May of this year the orphanage house was closed and some teenagers were needed to stay somewhere before they get to Collage or to the University. Pastor Dima and Lena Sarioglo decided to host two teenage girls Vika and Natasha for few months (from May till September). During the time when they staying at Dima's house they came to Christ.
26 of September Berezino church will have a water baptize of 6 people, these girls Vika and Natasha two of them! It is so great to see the real fruits of your ministry, ministry not of words but the deeds. May God bless pastor Dima and Lena richly. Now Vika entered to the Pedagogical University in Minsk and Natasha to the collage not far from Minsk. And in last Saturday they came to our youth cell group.
We have started our New Year (for us it is not a Calendar Year but a Study Year). We have a lot of students in our church so all activities and all our work we are planning from September, when all students come to the University from their homes. We are praying a lot and thinking about the changing of our structure of church, and raise up spiritually and professionally every field of ministry (Youth, Teenager, Worship, Family's) to bring a lot of fruits from Kingdom of God. First step it is to start a Bible School, where we invited a main pastors of Belarus to teach, we gave them the urgent topics for our people. We expect that all our church will be renewed and grow spiritually, will be united as one body of Christ by Holy Spirit, will get the knowledge, discover the potential and be ready for serving God with their talents. And then we want to make a difference in our town and our country!
Please, pray that God will awake and kindle church passion for active service for Him.
Love and blessings,
Gena
