Dear Fellow Laborers,

November 2005

Praise the Lord for the exciting things He is doing in Russia!

“What am I here for?” is an introductory brochure about the Christian life.

First Witness to Muslims

I met Anar out soul winning, and he was very interested in what the differences were between Islam and Christianity. The next time we met, I witnessed to him and introduced the opportunity to participate in our discipleship program. Anar lives in a town about 40 minutes away from us, and he asked me to come to his house and begin the program. The Lord worked it out so that I witnessed to Anar’s entire family that first night. His wife Yevgenia, and her brother Rueben and her mother. Rueben was very responsive to the Gospel. These folks are not the type of militant, fundamental Muslims that dominate most of Islam. They seemed genuinely surprised when I talked about the “differences” between Christianity and Islam, saying that they did not know there were any. Please pray for God’s wisdom and power in our relationship with these fringe Muslims.

The first step in our remodeling has begun.

Ministry Center Close to a Reality

We are in the process of closing a deal on a three room apartment in great condition in a wonderful new building. It is in an excellent location. The asking price is the same as an inexpensive two room apartment for our area. One room will serve as my personal office, one as our meeting place for discipleship and mid-week church services, and the third room will be for children’s ministries. Please pray that the deal will be completed without any problems. We also printed 1,000 brochures introducing the Christian life for new converts .

Please pray for the workers on our new apartment to be saved.

Remodeling to be Finished in December

From our point of view in America, it can be hard to understand why there must be a remodeling done to an apartment. When we think of remodeling in America, we think of the luxury of changing things to match our taste and so on. In Russia, remodeling has more to do with making an apartment meet basic standards of safety and cleanliness, than just matching our taste. The heating many times is inadequate, the plumbing unsanitary, and the wiring is just dangerous. The walls have holes in them that need to be filled and so on. This month our windows were replaced, and all the walls have been cleared and the process of plastering them has begun.

Prayer Requests
• For Dimitri and Anar and his family to accept Christ
• That we will get permanent residency before February.
• That funds will come in to buy land for a church.

Yours in Christ,
Adam, Angela, Alex, and Amelia
