NEWS FROM RUSSIA

We're delighted to report the baptisms of YEVGENIJ. May God bless him in his journey to His Kingdom. Our brother is in extreme isolation in a small town north of Vladivostok in the far East of Russia.

Our new brother at his nearest airstrip- one of our most isolated brethren.

I feel ashamed when I read some of the articles in the magazine, because it all seems so obvious and clear once I read the explanation, but when I read for myself it seems I often finish a chapter not having really understood it. I read each day and by God's grace am keeping well for my age.

I continue to try to sell my apartment and move into the countryside and farm some land, it is the only way to survive now, with heating bills so high. But there seem no buyers. So please pray for me about this.

I realize I am getting older as I now need stronger glasses to read your letters and to write to you. Truly as the snow melts and Spring comes upon us here, I realize within me the need for Christ's return and the Kingdom to come on earth. I am so grateful you shared this hope with me.

I have written more poems, it is my way of expressing myself and I do it more, it seems, as I grow older. All around is a collapsing world where a few people are getting richer and forgetting the rest of us. It is a relief each day to read God's word and find connection with the truth about life and our destiny.
