BARANAVICHI
I am getting people
here to read Bible Basics and even to answer the questions at the end of
each chapter. However I have a problem in discussing about the trinity with one
woman, I do not know whether to stop the discussion or endlessly continue.

I feel very bad that I get
so many letters from England but I cannot reply to them in English. We are
meeting regularly on the 2nd Sunday of every month with the brothers
in Minsk and it is a great joy to us.

BOLBASOVO
I have recently returned
from a year working in Czech, this was necessary for me because of the dire
economic situation in Belarus and my need to support my elderly parents. Life is
very hard for me, I need to return there again to work, and it is so hard mixing
and working all the time with worldly people. I was able occasionally to travel
to Prague to make the breaking of bread with Brother Milos Bednar. May the Lord
keep us all in His way to the Kingdom.

LUNINETS
We were happy to get the
exhortations sent to us by brother Steve from Australia. Of course we prefer
anything we can get in Russian language, but we love all contact with our
brothers.

I am coming out of prison
in a month’s time. I am praying continually to the Lord God for His help as I
really do not have a roof over my head and to find work will be very hard, also
I have no relatives to help me. My God and my spiritual family are my only hope,
so please pray for me. I am also very sick, I have spent a lot of time in the
prison hospital with tuburculosis.

Thank you for sending the booklet about alcohol, this is a very needed
booklet here. Several alcoholics died in this village this winter. Our village
is dying, it is becoming empty as people leave it and die one by one. It is very
depressing for me. Only reading the Bible and getting your letters is a comfort
to me.
