Evangelism in the flood areas

эта статья на русском

When we were last in Krymsk, we saw a sign on the fence: "I beg you! Move out of hell!"




To help move the hell can only be the gospel of Jesus Christ!

Me and Nika have created a brochure on the type of the four spiritual laws, we are talking about the lessons to be learned from the events in Krymsk.

While we have made them a bit, but was sent to all the volunteers from various churches.

Glory to Christ! Miraculously, there were the Gospels (New Testament Bible). Nick on Sunday made an ad in the church about the need to give Bibles to people in flood areas. At that time the church did not have Bibles, which could give, but after a few days, God has delivered them to us.

We bought the necessary humanitarian assistance that people requested.

God has arranged the wonderful time!

This woman is a teacher of English, as well as Nika. We had only one Bible in English. We thought it would be no one to give it, but God sent us this woman :)

 She said that she is the most precious gift in her life. Even asked us to do it and send photos so that she could remember this moment. Thank God! :)

This woman during a flood flow of water carried off her son, whom she could not find in a single day. Now mother and son are experiencing the consequences of high stress.
This woman was very grateful to us that we gave her a Bible. She said that is what it is now necessary!

Do you need a lot, and forces all of us is getting smaller ...

Pray to God, who more than anyone else worried about these people, that he found the people who will perform the required work. Those people who can be a light for these people.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest"

(Lk.10:2)

Give people Bibles!

I urge all to give people the Bible. In this often hear accusations that the Bible can be a simple waste of effort and money that they will not read ... And I believe that God DELIVERY TO YOUR BIBLE READER!

Now it is a hot topic because the question is: "To give people in Krymsk Bible or not."

YESTERDAY GOD did a miracle to prove to show us what the Bible to give to.

Yesterday, we brought up a man who was driving hitchhiking. On the way we struck up a conversation that went on a spiritual theme. It turned out that he is familiar with the biblical text.

He admitted to us (me and Nick), which in the past, he came to his friends that were alcoholics and drug addicts, they saw the Bible, which lay in a pile of other books in the cabinet. He stole this Bible and read it, so know the text. He confessed to us in this act.

It does not follow the Biblical position, but continues to seek God earnestly. I think that's why God gave us yesterday, meeting with him.

CONCLUSION: We need to give people the Bible!

As in this case, God brought the Bible to its readers, so there are many other stories:

- Pastor, who now live and serve God in the Muslim context, telling me that being a non-believer in the Bible has won the map. After reading it, believe in God, was to serve God. Now in his area there is a church, through its activities.

- My wife's parents believed in God, read the Bible, which was with them at home (parents were not believers, but the Bible in their house was). They are now also actively serve God.

- And many other wonderful stories.

Give the Bible to people, encourages them to read the Word of God and do not rely on your mind, because God tells us:

""For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. "For {as} the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts"

(Is.55: 8.9)

Our new travel to Krymsk | Yhe Story and Photos

см. этот пост на русском по Ссылке

We learned that in the flood zone may be a risk of radiation. The fact that in the Crimean region is the repository of radioactive iodine may flood washed away waste.

When we found out about it, it was very scary to go to Krymsk. It is easy to say in words that can go anywhere for the sake of preaching, but it is very difficult to decide.

All evening, shopping for people in Krymsk, we hesitated, thinking whether to go.

After reading Springsteen on the rear window of our car, we decided to go :)

"For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

(Bible, Mar.8: 36.37)

It was a lot of good conversations. People understand that they do not rely on anyone but God. (See the full photo report on the link)

We bring targeted assistance and gave the Bible that people are happy to accept.

Please pray for those people with whom we communicated to read the Bible presented to them to believe in the Lord Jesus. 

Thank Christ for all who help us with prayers, physically and financially!

PULSE movement in Krasnodar helping with the flood victims

The latest from the PULSE movement in Krasnodar helping with the flood victims...

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fdorogakbogu.blogspot.com%2F2012%2F07%2Fhronika-sobitiy-pomosch-krimsku.html

People of CYM PULSE are helping the victims of the flood in Krimsk city (7/7/2012)

You might have heard about the horrible event that took place on July 7th, 2012 - a flood in Krymsk, nearby villages and some cities on the Black Sea coast, as a result of which Krymsk was almost completely destroyed and about 2000 people died (there are still many people missing, and nobody knows the exact numbers yet) /There are more photos at the end of post/

Some of our friends, members of our Youth Christian Movement PULSE, together with people from our church went to Krymsk the next day after that tragedy happened. They helped those victims of the flood, whose houses were not completely ruined, to clean the buildings and yards, and also just talked to the people who are still shoked and despared, tried to comfort and encourage them.  

The people of Krymsk suffered greatly!.. Some of the houses can still be restored, but most - cannot. Most people are now homeless. They have no clothes, food, drinking water, electricity, gas.   

We will keep going to Krymsk, collect money to buy food, water, clothes and so on, and try to attract more volunteers to help the people there.

The local church in Krymsk was not completely destroyed. Please PRAY for the believers of Krymsk to find strength to help their neighbours together with the volunteers, so that people would see the good hearts and deeds of Christians, glorify God for it and come to know Him even through such grieving circumstances!.. 

"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven"

(Mt.5:16)  

p.s. All of that reminded me the situation that happened with Jesus:

"Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

"Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were {worse} culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? "I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." And He began telling this parable: "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

"And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?' "And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; and if it bears fruit next year, {fine;} but if not, cut it down.'"

(The Bible, Gospel of Luke 13:1-9)

This is how God is working through Urban Camp

Urban Camp was held, the guys who came to him, had gone, what next?

NEXT was a miracle :-)!

Since the urban camp of new people came not so much, were mainly those with whom we met during the year, come the guys are not completely satisfied. They wanted to meet new people.

But God acts as he wants :-)

Here's an example:

I spent a cycling trip, after the event took place, I added members to friends in a social network.

Now I have a lot of time over on the works on a farm in another town, or even a thought that doing it for nothing :-)

Recently, we needed help in the work on the farm, and we wrote about it in a social network. We thought that some of our guys might be interested in this opportunity to make money.

To our (and my Nike's) surprise on the proposal began to speak strangers. They were at our friends, but personally we do not know.

NOW MOST IMPORTANTLY:

Two days ago we came to a working girl, we do not know. She was at my friends when I added the people after the cycling trip.

Work, we talked about many things. It was open to spiritual themes, even interested. We told her about God and the Lord Jesus Christ. She was glad to get acquainted and wants to be friends then.

That's how God reaches people like myself want to, and those whom he wants. So do not rush to evaluate themselves and others, and most importantly do not rush to judge.

"Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, {but wait} until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of {men's} hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other" (Bible, 1 Cor. 4:5-6)

Glory to Christ!

Briefly about the June 2012 - CYM PULSE

Briefly about the latest developments:

1. We have successfully passed the Urban Camp. We conducted all the activities that are planned. The meetings were a lot of people. Sometimes they were the same people, but for a picnic on the last day it's a lot of new people.

At the picnic there was one unpleasant incident: There was a lake. Our guys bungee organized so that you can jump into the water. One girl slipped and fell on the shore, before it reached the water. She broke her arm in two places (but now, thank God, is already on the mend, though, with the plaster have to walk more than a month).

Nick went to help organize a few games. I spent a cycling trip.

Joy was the fact that the program of Urban  Camp  attended a lot of new people. Some of them do not have long held, and some of the first times tried themselves as organizers.

At the end of a farewell party at which I was honored to deliver a sermon to all the audience (I'm talking about, so people are not looking for excuses not to believe, but rather tried to believe: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear. "But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children, and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn" (Mt.11:15-17))

Special thanks to Tolu, who was the director of this camp :) Thank God for her.

2. In this Blog, "Where's curiosity leads" http://www.dorogakbogu.ru/ (we created it for evangelism on the Internet) is a new writer, which actively joined the work.

Now we are working to make the structure of the Blog to make it easier to read. We want to develop a feedback from readers.

3. Now we are helping my mom with the garden, working on the blog and from time to time we travel to Krasnodar to help with the Christian Movement PULSE, which now are our friends. Thank God for them :)









4. Please pray for:

- For all the guys that were on the Urban Camp to the Lord revealed Himself to them.

- For planning activities for the next school year.
- For the guys who have proven themselves in the Urban  Camp  that they continue to serve God, not afraid to take the initiative.

Alpha Weekend 2012 "Parabola"

Glory to Christ!

We spent Alpha Weekend with the title "Parabola", which was 24 people. Jenny has told me that on this trip rode a lot of new guys in the conduct was also attended by new people.

REVIEWS people were different:

1. most liked this weekend;
2. Several people came up and thanked the leading not only a good program, but especially for being shown the door, which is Jesus Christ, through whom you can go to God;
3. Of course, there were those who did not like something, but they were few, and they complained that our games and discuss cause feelings of guilt, in their view, God does not have to like what we call a sense of guilt. BUT, we think it is just such a feeling and acting God, because if people do not realize that he has sinned, if you do not feel a sense of guilt before God, repent, and he can not, because it seems like nothing to repent (though we did not try to call this feeling, apparently, people have something to be ashamed before God).

and now in more detail about what happened, with pictures ;)

SMD-Group in Karlsruhe their prayer requests (Our friends - )

Our friends from Germany, from the SMD-Group in Karlsruhe asked us to pray for them.

Lets pray together:

"These are our prayer requests at the moment:
- Together with an other christian student group in Karlsruhe, we're
organizing a week of many different activities at the university. It
will take place from 23rd to 26th of April. Each evening there will be
an evangelistic event and during the day we'll have different activities
to invite the students: we'll give away cakes and coffee for free on the
campus, we'll offer some other small activities to invite people, etc.
Please pray that all our planings will be good, that we don't focus onto
wrong things and that the Lord will bless this week. And also that the
groups grow closer together by doing all these things.

- Please pray for our new leaders of the group (they change every
semster). Please pray that they have good ideas for the next semster and
that they have the courage to do what is good."

Thank you!

Our guys organise weekly meetings for teens at a public school

Our guys organise weekly meetings for teens at a public school. This time, they invited me, to tall the story of my acquaintance with Nike, and through it, we talked about the wonders God made in our lives.

Pray for the students ... they are badly behaved ... it is very hard to hold something for them.
