The Bible School was really a spiritual recharging for me, I returned home and to my work in the factory very positive. I gave a Bible Basics to the duty nurse in the factory, she provides first aid when needed, but sits doing nothing most of the time. She has read it, and is now reading a Bible I gave her. So I am hopeful for her progress spiritually.

Things are quite hard for me, I have lost my job, have no mobile phone any more, and I ask for your prayers as it seems God is testing me beyond what I can take even though I know the Bible says that shall not happen.

I am so sad I can't get time off work to come to the Bible School, I have to work all the time to support my wife and the children. I am in touch with Sis Ludmila in Borisovka, we are trying to teach someone the Truth and will inform of the progress.

Things are very hard for me, I am trying to sell my apartment here in the town and move out to the village, I can then grow some food and have some cash for helping my daughter. Please pray for me. I do remember you all with love in Jesus.

As the years go by in our association with each other, I realize more fully how what you are doing by preach- ing the true Gospel, baptizing people and nourishing them, is in fact leading people really to eternal life. This is the most wonderful thing that could be done in this life. I for my part try to do the same here.

I would appreciate more copies of The Real Devil, I have distributed my copies to people here and they didn't return them. This problem of evil is something which it seems weighs upon the Russian soul, as our classical writers speak much about it, and I find people very open to what we have to say about this matter.
