After Sam’s message this year there was a similar response as many
people indicated their desire to rededicate themselves to walk closer
with the Lord. To add to the excitement and blessing of the Shabbat
service it concluded with five people being immersed. As they shared
their testimonies of God’s eternal love for them two Jewish young men,
who are zealous to live for Yeshua, especially touched my heart. These
young men will surely be taking up the mantel of leadership to continue
God’s work among His people. Sam also taught seminars for several days
regarding the person and work of the Holy Spirit. The 12 hours of
teaching was video taped for future use. Much of the teaching that Sam
gave is in his Russian discipleship book Growing in Messiah and
was also available for further study.
Making Disciples through sound teaching is always of vital importance.
We continue to see that as believers are taught and well grounded in the
truth of God’s Word then the Good News will be furthered more
effectively. Since there are many Russian Jews coming to faith, the need
for further instruction is vital. Our materials are translated into
Russian but as younger people are responding to the Gospel and growing
up quickly, we can see a future need for translation into German as
well. Thank you for your prayers for Sam, Natalia Fomin and myself. We
could not minister without you.Y |
