Dear friend-Shalom and Warmest greetings to you in Yeshua our Redeemer.
I hope this letter will find you well. Thank you very much for all your
help by prayer fellowship at the Throne of Grace
and financial supporting of our ministry.
Your help
is greatly valued and is helping because of the Power and efficacy of
His Precious Blood!
Psalm 133:1 says: “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is, for brethren
to dwell together in unity!" (KJV). When
you
help the work of this ministry, you go with us to every street, house,
Hospital. You are going to witnessing and
taking
the Word of God to the thousand Russian speaking Jewish and non-Jewish
people in our city, Israelites,
Muslims
and others. Our Lord values your faithfulness. Everyone will have their
reward. God promised this through
Abraham
in Genesis 12:3. Faithful over a little will be set over much. If you
took a plough to your hand you shouldn’t
look
back. We will plow and sow this field with faith. We believe that we
will have a good harvest. The flood of the Holy
Spirit
spreads around this land and cleanses it. We are called to do everything
for the Lord. We believe, that purity
and
holiness will be as a part of our born again life in the Messiah. Thank
you very much whom faithfully remember us.
Summer is a very interesting time. The Bible is considering the “summer”
as Grace of the Lord. But Summer time is
not
forever. Let’s together reach lost souls and spread the Gospel until
“summer time” (Grace) is continuing.
In the May we witnessed by grace of the Lord to more than 50 people. In
the streets I met 2 elder Jewish people and
witnessed
to them. Both of them told me that they have been thinking about Jesus
as the Messiah, and are very
interested
to learn more about Him. When I offered them NC/NT they told me that this
is what they were searching for, and
they really wanted to have it. They said that they met me at the right
day and the right time. I was so glad to give them
the
Lord’s Word.
Another Jewish person told me that he doesn’t want to speak with me
because I believe in Jesus. I met an Ukrainian
Catholic
person who has religious position in his church. I didn’t want to, but
we came into a discussion. I asked him a
lot
of questions through the Bible and he really didn’t have any right
answer. I just told him to read the Word of God.
A young Muslim man from Lebanon accepted from me an NC/NT and other
Christian literature in Arabic language.
In the Beachwood
Mall, I had to witness to two people from China . One of them accepted a
Bible in Chinese. A
Turkish
young woman accepted an NC/NT from me. Three new Israelites who are working
in the Beachwood mall denied
my
offer to give them the Holy Scriptures in Hebrew.
As I told
you in the last letter, I will continue to share more testimonies about
my trip to Philadelphia in April.
In
Franklin and Neshamy malls we met more than 20 Israelites. One of them
after my witness told me that he read the
NC/NT
before, but his mother found it, took it, cut the book, and threw away
into the fire to barbeque. The Israeli told me
that
he is afraid to take again a NC/NT. But the Lord blessed his heart and he
accepted the NC/NT from me. Another young
Israeli
lady N. was so glad to hear the Good News. She said that it is so
beautiful to know what Jesus has done for all
of
us. An American Jew asked me to send him a NC/NT because I distributed all
what I had at that time. I also met a
young
lady from Nepal whom we sent a Bible to. I met a couple
people from Turkey who accepted the literature about
Jesus
and DVD movie. Two Uzbekistan Muslims also got a Jesus DVD movie.
Another Muslim man from Tajikistan
told
me that he doesn’t need Jesus because he has Mohammed. Two Italian
Catholic women told me that they are
glad
to see me by witnessing about Jesus to people. A lot of Jews also told
me that they don’t need Jesus because
they
have their own God. Other Jewish person who is in the beginning didn’t
want to hear, and didn’t want to take
anything
from me, decided finally to listen. After that she decided to take the
Holy Scriptures.
The Lord really cares for these people, and he does not want them to
perish with all the others. I feel the love within
my
heart for everybody that does not have the beautiful grace of Jesus
Christ within their spirits. Looking around the
area
shows me that not just a few people need to repent, but the whole world.
Please pray that every problem that is
sinful
be fixed with the power of the God himself.
Thank you again for your prayers and partnership. People from our
congregation send to you Shalom and thanks.
All
of my family is very appreciative for your prayers also. Please continue
to pray so that God will send more faithful
supporters
to our ministry. Our financial support again went down. We need your
help. I understand that every year is
going
to be harder and harder. But if you have opportunity to help us, please
would you help so that we can continue
to
get to reach people for the Messiah.
If
God leads you to start or continue to send us your financial help,
please send your donations to Beth-El Messianic
Congregation
and Ministries, P.O. Box 360165 , Cleveland , OH , 44136 . All donations
are tax deductible.
May
the Lord God of Israel richly bless you. Please pray for Israel as we
see that there are more and more attacks
against
God’s chosen people. It is also the sign for Jesus soon return. Maran
Ata!
Shalom in Yeshua,
Beth-El Messianic Congregation and Pastor Igor. |
