Evangelism in the flood areas

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"

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

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!

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)
