Dear Friend in the Messiah, 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 support 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 witness and take the Word of God to the thousand Russian speaking Jewish and non-Jewish people, Israelites, Muslims and all souls. 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 watch 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 to those who faithfully remember us.
In July, we witnessed, by the grace of the Lord, to more than 1,000 people. In Spokane, WA, we had a chance to have an outreach downtown. A lot of people were angry to hear about the Lord Jesus. They screamed, swore, and showed middle fingers. But the Word was spreading, and a few people accepted NTs.
After we finished, we drove to the city of Coeur d'Alene and preached at the beautiful lake. Hundreds of people were present. Our team went to a park and shared the Gospel. After that, we went to a beach and continued to share the Gospel. People were swimming, and some were on the sand, but I tried to come to everyone and remind them about the love of God. Many didn't want to hear, but with some we had very good conversations, and they accepted Scripture.
I also met a man from Israel who spoke Russian. I was witnessing to him in Hebrew and in Russian. He was very interested to hear about the Messiah and, at the end, accepted an NT. Praise God!
Before we left, I met a Muslim man, but it didn't work out to speak with him because he was nervous due to some issues, and we left.
We witnessed to many souls there, but it's not enough here to write about all the testimonies, as I also want to include here a witness from my son Rafael, who has a little ministry in Columbus, Ohio. Here is his report:
June 13 – Buckeye Country Super Fest
Six of us visited Ohio Stadium for the Buckeye Country Super Fest 2026. We spoke with many people who identified as Christians but were unsure whether they were living well enough to enter Heaven. We reminded them to rest in Christ's finished work on the cross. He lived the perfect life we could never live, and through His death, our sin was imputed to Him and His righteousness to us (Romans 5:12–19). My fiancée also reminded people that when we truly understand this truth, we can no longer continue living as we once did. Instead, we should be willing to turn from our old ways, live according to God's commandments, and allow sanctification to take place as we faithfully walk with Him.
Our team was also encouraged through Christians who were strengthened by our witness. Some even prayed for us, and many conversations about Jesus began because groups we met included at least one believer. Praise God!
July 25 – Ohio State University Campus
Three of us visited The Ohio State University campus and had several meaningful conversations.
We met Carson, a Catholic student who shared that he was a nominal Christian and wanted to become a better person by improving himself each day. I shared that good works cannot save us, but only Christ's perfect life, death, and resurrection. Please pray that Carson would trust in salvation by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8–9).
We also met Lucy, an international student who believed God exists but did not have a personal faith and thought nothing happens after death. Despite the language barrier, she was open to hearing the gospel. Please pray that God would place faithful Christians in her life to help her know Jesus.
We also spoke with others facing physical, mental, and emotional struggles. It is easy to make assumptions about people, but they are made in God's image just as we are. May we boldly share the Good News, setting aside our biases and loving others as Christ has loved us. One of my friends reminded us that even those unwilling to hear the gospel may still welcome prayer. May we continue praying for strangers, friends, and even our enemies (Matthew 5:44).
Thank you for your prayers and partnership. My family is very appreciative of your prayers. Please continue to pray that God will send more faithful supporters to our ministry. If you have the opportunity to help us through prayers and finances, please do so, so that we can continue to reach people for the Messiah Yeshua. We are still in great need of financial support.
If God leads your hearts to support us, 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.
Maran Ata! Shalom in Yeshua, Beth-El Messianic Congregation and Pastor Igor.
