In the last days Leiser in Krasnodar, we met with him and his wife. It was a very interesting conversation, because we have not seen for a year.

We are inspired by their example of service and sacrifice in the cause of God :)

Gerhard often compares our movement with the movement of Willow Creek, because he sees a lot of parallels. We know little about Willow Creek, but we hope that the good things that he told us about the movement and its success to the Lord Jesus will come true with us.

Glory to Christ for these wonderful people. They are our grandparents in Christ :)

Visiting Lutheran Congregation - Interdenominational conversation | Gerhard Leiser

Our good friends and examples of devoted service for Jesus, Gerhard and Gisela Leiser, visited Krasnodar since March 22 till April 10. They are both over 80 already, but still keep doing missionary work actively.

They were welcomed by Lutheran Community, in which Gerhard preached. We came to the Easter service on March 31, where we also invited some people from our Youth Movement PULSE. By the way, some of them took part in the International Conference of Evangelical Alliance last year. 

Besides the guys from PULSE, there also came ex-president of the Missionary Alliance (ECMA). It was a good time for interdenominational conversation, which is always good for all of us not to get narrowminded, limited by just our own views.  

p.s. We want to express special gratitude to Gerhard Leiser and his wife for their support of our movemnet, their constant encouragement and the inspiration they always give us! 

Baptism in the Tuapse city

Эта статья на русском

The Lord Jesus Christ baptized a girl by us in Tuapse August 3, 2012, glory to Him!

Here's how it was:

Our sister in the Lord was sick, taking advantage of the very first opportunity, we went to visit her in the Tuapse city.

- At the meeting she told us how to hit the hospital. At the hospital, she felt that a few years of her Christian life, she wasn't baptize.

- We asked that it hurt to do it.

- She said that she had ideas about baptism: that she need to make a beautiful dress, very prepared for this day, it is desirable that this event occurred in one day with her husband and so on ... But now she just wants to be baptized in the Lord Jesus!

We remembered the many verses from the Bible, especially from the book of Acts where the apostles were baptized people who believed in Jesus Christ. The observation was unequivocal - the baptism always took place immediately after the people came to believe, that is professed Jesus Christ the Son of God, as Savior and Lord (the Bible, the Book of Acts 2:38, 8:36-38, 9:18, 10: 47-48, 16:14-15, 16:33, 19:5).

When we were at seaside, she asked for baptism, worrying that Satan will continue to interfere with a variety of ways to implement her baptism!

Obeying God, we baptized her!

Read the story of the book of Acts, which is similar to the situation:

"36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, "Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?"

37 And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

38 And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him.

39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing"  (Ac.8:36-39)

We weren't snatche away by Spirit of the Lord immediately :), we left the next morning. Taking advantage of the time, Nika shared with Oksana what the Lord reveals to her through the Bible (they read Isaiah. 58).

Already at the train station, we have carried out the Eucharist in obedience to the Lord Jesus, who said to do this in remembrance of Him! (Special thanks to N.E. Aleshin, who outfitted us for this ordinance to all necessary)

We were joy and went on ...
