It is difficult to imagine how big the Russian nation really is. It now covers at least nine time zones. Although the USA is quite large, we only have four time zones so Russia is over twice as expansive. One of our dear friends and colleagues, Bishop Anatoly, has established alcohol and drug treatment programs in many churches is a Baptist Bishop and his territory in the Eastern part of Russia called Siberia is larger than Ohio, Illinois and Michigan combined!
Galina and her team just took a trip out there to train Christian ministers and lay persons to counsel families and set up recovery programs for addicts. The only hope for Russia is the establishment of thousands of Christian healing groups in churches, schools and communities.
She sent back some photos of the beauty of the area but the creation of God hides the terrible facts of addiction, abuse and satanic worship with black magic. No wonder the people are dying off so rapidly.
If they come to your mind, pray for Galina, the team and the people they have been teaching God's word in Abakan, Siberia. I will be returning to Russia to set up a more in-depth school for training leaders. If you can support us please let me know.
