Almost the whole past month we spent helping our friend and brother in Christ, Steve, as he has to leave Russia with his family soon. He’s been living in Russia for many years now, and has already started to build a house. But now he has to sell everything and leave our country. And we decided to help him. I worried that it is something that distracts us from fulfilling our mission, because we could spend much less time with students, spending almost every day with Steve. But then I realized that it is something God wants us to do, it pleases Him. All these past years Steve was a huge encouragement and help in our movement. Many of the events we organized (such as Coffee Night and English camps) would have been impossible were it not for him and his family. He inspired all of us and helped us to dream big. And now he is facing this difficult situation, and it would be wrong to leave him alone now only because helping him move doesn’t seem like “doing ministry”. Like Onesiphorus, whom Paul gratefully remembers in his 2 Letter to Timothy, helped the apostle when he needed encouragement and practical help, we are called to do that also, when our brothers and sisters are in need. Please pray for Steve and his family as they are going through this period of their life.Thank you for remembering us and praying for us! May God be with you!
