Dear Friend in the Lord,

 

Warmest greetings to you in that Worthy Name of the One who is Exalted! Thank you for your gracious giving and prayers for this ministry to our Lord Jesus, as we present the Word of Life to the Jewish and non-Jewish People for their salvation in Him, and the worship of the Lamb. Your fellowship in the Gospel is greatly appreciated. May you know His richest blessing and joy as you honor Him.

 

Let me remind the promise He gives to Israel in Isaiah 30:18 concerning her future salvation: “And therefore will the Lord wait, in order that He may be gracious to you, and therefore He be exalted, so that He may have mercy upon you. Blessed are all they that wait for him”. Israel will know Him and His mercy as a result of our witnesses to these people with our prayers.

As we remember Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:1. “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved”. 

The Apostle Paul writes to every saved Gentile, “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their (the Jews) unbelief: even so have these now not believed, that through your mercy they (the Jews) also may obtain mercy.” Paul reminds every believer whom the Lord Jesus has saved from among the Gentiles why he or she is saved, when he writes, “That the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy. (Romans 15:9a). The same word “mercy” is used by Paul in Romans 15:9 and 11:30 -31. He is showing us in these verses how every saved Gentile is to glorify God in His Will for the mercy he or she has received. 

 

In March, with God’s help, we witnessed to more than a couple thousand people.

 

In Pittsburgh PA, we shared the Gospel in the “Strip District” area. We went there while most stores were closed, but bars and restaurants were open. There were a lot of people who were drunk. It was difficult, but God helped, protected, and gave us wisdom on how to witness. Unfortunately, most people did not want to listen and hear about the Lord Jesus. However, we had an opportunity to give several NT in the Nepali language to workers at a Nepal coffee shop.

 

In Knoxville TN, with help from a Slavic Evangelical Church, we witnessed in the downtown area. There were hundreds of people present. Knoxville is growing as a city, and different people are moving in. We were distributing Bibles and preached publicly. People showed us middle fingers and told us bad words, and there were a lot of homosexuals who were present. While I was sharing the Gospel, 3 teenagers came to me and asked a question about how God looks at homosexual and transgender people. I think they were gay, but they wanted to listen, and we started a conversation. I mentioned to them that all people are born in sin, and I love them as people, but I encouraged them to see what the Lord says about sin, especially about homosexual relationships. They asked me to show them in the Bible, which I did. One of them left, another stepped away, but the last one continued to ask me questions. In the end, he decided to accept scripture to find the Truth and read the Word of God. We also met a Russian-speaking family, but unfortunately, they did not want to have a conversation with us about Jesus. Another person, who was transgender with a big “five stars” amulet on the breast, became angry and ran from us. Some people stopped and supported us. We distributed around 20-25 New Testaments and a lot of evangelical tracts. Unfortunately, cities are becoming less and less Christian, so we need to pray, love, and share the Gospel by finding more time for people to let them know about the Lord Jesus, who is the only way to salvation.

 

Thank you for your faithfulness and partnership. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray for my family and my health. Please pray for our Ministry that we’ll be able to grow spiritually in the Lord.
