Valery & Galina Bubnenkov have been faithfully visiting SCC every week
since last Summer. Together with Nikolay and Anna Ageev they rekindle
the fire of God in that small group of believers.
At these pictures
you can see the team working with RCC members, partaking
Communion, praying, reading the Word and worshipping God.
Currently they meet
at sister Nadezhda's home and look for another place for their
services.
Day of Praise in Tula
The Day of Praise was held
in Tula at the local Catholic Church for all Tula Churches. This
Catholic Church is the only one in Tula. They friendly opened their
doors for the Praise & Worship Conference. Local Catholic priest was
excited to have fellowship with Protestant ministers. In fact, one of
Tula Churches rents his temple for the services. I guess since this
Catholic Church is the only one in the city they want to be friends with
any other Christians. Traditional Churches of Tula do not recognize
anybody but themselves. But if they are not in a hurry to open their
hearts for God's revival than their main historical "opponent" is.
Please, pray for these
Catholic believers in Tula. Being in religious minority they really need
God's hand upon them while they serve God in our land. At the pictures
below you can see Protestants and Catholics worshipping God together in
Tula.
Mercy Center service for
disabled people at Tula Christian Center
TCC has held another
program for disabled people. Pictures below speak a lot to explain the
whole process of purchasing the groceries and feeding people. For years
of helping people in Tula TCC has received many letters and calls of
appreciation from the City Social Committee.
Family Day at Rzhev Christian Center
RCC has
organized and held the Family Day at their Church where
they have invited families with their friends and
children. This holiday has shown to the guests the joy
and "normality" to be a Christian. Everyone was excited
to partake in games and entertainment.
The same
month RCC has started a new Bible Research Course for
Church members. It's a second course for this year. The
main purpose of it is to bring people to the Bible
basics and doctrines. Pastor Alexander found some people
in his Church which either don't have this basic
knowledge or have a mixture of different doctrines. It's
never late to study again.
