Rejoice With Us!

We are rejoicing that the official city permits and paperwork have been completed and the installation of the water and heating in the Chelyabinsk Ministry Center will begin next week!! This area has been delayed for over a year and a half, with little that could be done except to pay a bribe or pray. The church chose the latter and God has brought about this miracle.

The delay was caused as the city was requiring the church to do some drainage work before they would connect the building to the city water. The permits to do this work, however, involved another landowner and of course, this meant additional expense and work for the church. Little forward motion could be made and the believers have simply prayed and fasted specifically about this issue.

This past winter, the water pipes all around the Ministry Center building site burst and thick layers of ice surrounded the yard and street. As spring came, the city had to do all the repairs to correct the water damage and drainage. With heavy spring rains, drainage was a continuing problem and the city was forced to take care of it. So now, the church is not required to repair the drainage and work can begin to connect the building with the city water and heat.



In addition, we are thankful that funds have been provided just as they are needed and work has continued at a steady pace.

You have so faithfully partnered with us, the church in Russia, and the Ministry Center project. Your prayers and support are vital to all of us. Praise the Lord!! His Faithfulness continues to be shown, proven and sustains us each day!

Thank you!
