KAZAN

I am writing this having just seen our brothers depart for the Bible School in Ukraine. I am sad I can’t come, but I know the travelling is beyond me, and I will wait eagerly for all news from brothers Igor, Andrej and Viktor who will represent us there. I’m very glad that Brother Igor Prozorov is able to go to it. I pray for you all.

We are so happy that now we can live near to each other so we have someone to break bread with and encourage us, as we are surrounded by Russian Orthodox society in this town.

I am so very disappointed not to be able to come to Poltava this year. I have changed my job, that’s the problem. I really so miss you all and the great fellowship there.

I am so looking forward to attending the Bible School. Thanks to all who make it possible!
Bro. Viktor

I continue witnessing to the Baptist church here where I used to belong before I came to the Truth. Some of them are listening and I recently baptized two people of my former brothers there.
Bro. Alexei

We here are all very sad for you in Latvia who had your hard work vandalized at the home you are building. May God comfort you and encourage you not to give up.
Sis. Lidija

I received our Russian magazine Zvezda and I read every word in it. I was encouraged to read how active are our brothers and sisters in Latvia. It will be great if this magazine can be issued more and more frequently.

I was very happy to receive the latest books from Brother Duncan and am happy to start reading them; although my work here gives me little free time I am determined to read them to the end. I have decided to stay living here and will always welcome a visit.

Here as you know I am quite alone, the nearest brother lives hundreds of kilometres from me. So I am planning to come down to the Bible School although it will take me several days travel. Please pray I have health to do so.

I am in touch with various contacts you have sent me. I hope one especially will be baptized soon. I look forward to the Bible School!

We are praying here for the health of brother Andrej’s mother. He asks us all to pray for her. May God bless you till we meet again at Bible School.

I really appreciated the latest books of brother Duncan, now I am not working I have more time to read. Thank you for being a light in the dark world.

VINOGRADOVKA

From here in Far Eastern Russia I have no chance to get to Bible Schools, and my health is too weak to travel far. I am grateful to sister Ludmila Kuritsyina who writes to me so often, even though her health is also weak. We are together in our hope of resurrection.
