One thing that has changed my life is the practice of praying before meals. It gives a rhythm to life and keeps me in touch with God during the day.

It’s impossible for me to use my wheelchair in the snow and mud, so I am indoors all the time, I have the possibility only to pray for you all and try to let God’s word influence my mind.
Bro. Valerij
We are doing very well, working, working and trying to pay all our bills and fulfilling all duties and obligations. Very often we think and dream how we would like travelling in Latvia in the next spring and visit other brothers. If we will find cheap plane tickets we will come to spent some days with you.

I have been reading from the book of Isaiah about the day of judgment, and it is very sobering. We will all meet there and by God’s grace we will eternally live together. I marvel at the news of baptisms everywhere, I wish there could be more here, and I pray for all.

After years of receiving letters and encouraging messages from others, I realize I have not done all I could to encourage others and so I am trying now to be more positive to others, knowing that the Kingdom of God is before us.

We’re delighted to announce the baptism of MARCIN, our first brother in the Gdansk area. May the Lord bless him and use him in His service.RADOM
I wish to thank you for the handbook "Speaking about Jesus" which arrived some time ago. I am really impressed. I think it is a very good handbook (and I have seen lots of English teaching materials). I am going to use it to teach my daughter. I think it is the right level for her. Also, it was nice to see that you mentioned our dear brother Valek in acknowledgments. By the way, did you know that he left Poland some months ago and went to live back in Belarus? But I do hope he will soon be back, I was really missing him at the latest conference in Wrocław. In several hours I am leaving for Germany, God willing, to take part in the Lörrach Bible School and I am taking both of my children with me.
Bro. JacekWALBRZYCH
I was very happy to travel to Gdansk to meet our new brother. I returned home safely with joy, thanks to God.

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.
Sis. Ludmila K

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 looking forward to attending the Bible School. Thanks to all who make it possible!

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.

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.
Sis Galina
BELGRADE
Here the Orthodox church is getting stronger, and people mix nationalism with belonging to the state church, and I find it hard to get people to listen. I admire those who are able to make converts from such people!
Bro. Vladislav
We are very grateful and appreciative for sending that money for us and very happy that we can see you again.
Ali and Masoud [ex-Iran]
You know my problem with military service and it still continues. You probably heard about the problems for Christians here. Please pray for me, and may God bless you.
Bro. Ferhat
Thank you for sending Zvezda magazine, it is good to see the other Russian-speaking brothers and sisters in contact all over the world. I am praying to find a good husband in the Lord, please pray with me.

We are planning on coming to the Bible School and we hope mother will be baptized there this time!
Sis. Tanya
We really can’t get to the Bible School, but each time we get a letter or phone call from Duncan and Cindy it gives us new life for a while. We read each day from the Bible and we find encouragement from knowing you too are reading the same chapters.
Br. Vasily & Sis. Elena
I hope to bring my daughter Nastya to the Bible School. She has already learnt to sit quietly during our Bible meetings.
