Dear Friends!
Thank you again for your prayers, encouragement and support for our ministry here! We continually thank God for you!
Many exciting things continue to happen here in Russia and Estonia. We are having a fruitful time equipping the saints for the work of the ministry in our school. The graduates are going on missionary trips. We are also continuing to see salvations, miraculous healings and deliverances from drug addiction.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Our 14th annual Christmas Season Feed-In is coming up in St Petersburg, and we are having our first one in Tallinn. We are also having a smaller Christmas celebration in Harku women’s prison for about 120 women. We have already had several organizational meeting with pastors and rehab centers leaders, and they are excited about the events. A hall has been secured in Tallinn, as well as volunteers to prepare food, and the date is set. Our worship team from St Petersburg will be joining us in Tallinn for this. We need $5,000 for each of the two feed-ins and 500 for the one in the prison. Please help us if you can. These events are very important, bringing unity, hope, faith and encouragement to hundreds each year who have turned from lives of drug addiction to serving Jesus. Besides our monthly worship and intercession nights for the churches of St Petersburg, the Feed-In is a landmark event with tremendous fruit each year with the 15 Christian centers that participate. If you could also spread our need to as many as possible, it would be a wonderful blessing! If your church could take it upon you to raise 1000 dollars for this event, we would be very grateful. Please help us to help others, thank you!
Below are more details of the wonderful things that Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit are doing among us in Russia and Estonia:
NEWS FROM ST. PETERSBURG
Recently a member of our church and graduate of our School of Ministry Sveta Moroz (left in the photo) went on a mission trip to Mozambique, where she worked with Heidi Baker’s Iris Ministries. Iris plants churches in some of the most remote parts of the Earth and helps to shelter and educate thousands of children who became orphans due to poverty, natural calamities, civil war and the AIDS situation in the country. Here is Sveta’s exciting report:
“As the airplane approached Maputu airport I looked out of the window and saw the parched thirsty land crying out for water. It proved to be true both in the physical and in the spiritual realm. I soon found the people of Mozambique to be so spiritually hungry that my words fail to describe it adequately. During the whole trip, not one person rejected us when we approached them with the Gospel, nor declined an offer to pray for them and their needy situations.
The atmosphere in the country is bleak. Very many are sick with AIDS. Many children die from malnutrition before they reach the age of five. Crime is rampant – it is dangerous to go out after dark. I often woke up at night and could smell the spirits of witchcraft, murder, poverty, alcoholism, prostitution… which drove me to intercede with tears, pouring out my heart in prayer for the people.
And God was pouring out so much love on me and through me – I never experienced anything like this in my life. I was astounded by what God was doing in this country and every day I learned something new about His ways and His heart for the poor and needy, orphans, widows, etc. The Lord broke my heart and taught me to simply trust Him day by day, every minute and I saw His miracles of healing and salvation of souls.
Practically upon arrival, before I had time to unpack I was offered a chance to go out for street evangelism and joyfully agreed. One of the main goals of Iris Ministries is to train the children and young adults they shelter to become pastors, evangelists, and ministers who would win their own country for Jesus. And they are very successful in doing that. The street evangelism team I joined consisted mainly of 14-year-old teenagers. But they turned out to be already experienced on fire evangelists, filled with boldness and care for the people they ministered to!
Street evangelism, going out to evangelize in remote villages, and visiting public hospitals to pray for the sick was my main activity during the whole trip.
Iris Ministries has a church at the site of a large garbage dump – the poorest district of Maputu. The stench of decomposing food and other garbage is unbearable, except for the grace and love of God. Nevertheless, many people live and scrounge there, in the midst of the mountains of waste delivered from the capital and the surroundings in search of something to eat or sell.
Before the church service, the teams go out to talk to people about Jesus and to call them in. I joined one of these teams. We met many wonderful people who were willing to hear the Gospel. They wept as they received prayer and later shared that they experienced the presence of God and His loving touch. I especially remember one woman who had back pain and a disabled leg. As we began praying for her, she immediately felt the pain was relieved and started moving her leg. Very soon, she was walking around freely moving all her body, rejoicing and praising God for the miracle!
Later on during the service, an older lady came up and shared that she was blind in one eye. We laid hands on her and started praying and suddenly she said, “Oh, I can see your hand!” Her sight was restored partially but we knew it was just the beginning and encouraged her to continue to come to Jesus and believe for the complete healing of her eye.
Next time we went to the garbage dump, we met a woman who could hardly walk – her leg was wounded, swollen and badly inflamed. It looked like it needed the urgent attention of a surgeon but the woman did not have money to even pay for a medical check up much less an operation. But she had faith that God could heal her. We prayed for her. A week later we met her again - she was shining as she thanked us for prayer. She could walk now and her leg was healed, we could see only scars from the previous wound. Together we praised Jesus for the miracle!
We also went to the public hospital. One woman there suffered from a bite of a poisonous insect that resulted in her face being badly swollen. For three days, she could not open her eyes. As we prayed for her, the swelling went down in front of our eyes and the woman wept for joy – she could open her eyes again! God’s presence was so strong in the room that we wept with her in gratitude for the miracle Jesus did for this woman!
The next time in the public hospital, we were only able to enter one room but God did so much! It was a big room – 10 beds housing 10 men suffering from different illnesses. We prayed for the healing of each – one by one and the atmosphere of hopelessness and despair was replaced with the sweet presence of the Love of God. Then I started talking about Jesus, His cross, redemption and salvation and offered to all to accept Jesus who had never done it before. Four men decided to. After we prayed with them, another man approached me. He did not speak English or Portuguese or the local Shanga language – he was from a remote area where they had their own dialect but somehow he understood what I was talking about. By gestures and a few words in Shanga we prayed with him the sinner’s prayer, too. Then we encouraged them all to join the closest Iris Ministries church. They were saying goodbye to us with tears of rejoicing in their eyes.
Another case of divine healing happened when we went to evangelize in villages. A girl came up to us with a displaced thumb that was out of joint due to an injury. We laid hands on her and after prayer, her thumb returned to the proper position and the girl was able to move it with no pain!
In fact, healings were so many! Practically every day as we shared the Gospel with people God was confirming His Word with signs and wonders. I was so thrilled to be an eyewitness of His glory and power! God is Almighty! He really loves people and desires to set them free from the bondages of sin and sickness!"
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT – NASTYA SHTURMINA
In this section of our newsletter, we continue to introduce you to the new students of the School of Ministry. In the photo on the right is Nastya Shturmina. She is a passionate worshipper and a fiery evangelist preaching the Gospel at her workplace, on public transport, in student dorms and on the street as she meets people. She is very outgoing and God gave her a special ability to penetrate very hard hearts with His truth; destroying strongholds in the minds of those who do not know Jesus yet. Nastya is also gifted prophetically. She is a big blessing for everyone she comes in contact with. Here is her story:
‘I am presently 26 years old. I come from Novorossiysk – a port on the Black Sea, but I have lived and travelled all over Russia.
Together with my brother, I grew up in a family where our father was an abusive alcoholic tyrant and our mom a workhorse for our family. My conclusion about family life during those years of our father beating us all, and mother enduring, and trying to please everyone was that I WILL NEVER GET MARRIED. Why should I if the man in the family is a murderer and an adulterer while the woman is a silent slave who must endure everything plus keep four jobs to support the children and the husbands drinking habits?! If the world is such, I did not want to belong to this world. So I left home at the age of 11 and began my quest for a different life.
Joining different groups of young people, I traveled the country. If no one opened a home to us, we slept in the parks, or in abandoned buildings. We hung out at rock concerts and made money by playing guitar and singing on the streets and on the subway and asking for donations. From time to time, I visited Mom and Dad only to see that nothing had changed, so I had to go on the road again. I was really bitter and hated people, often using them for my own gain without any regrets for my behavior.
Life went on under the motto of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. At some point, I became really interested in the occult, literally sold my soul to the devil, and did rituals, etc. Sometimes I felt the horror side of it but curiosity won in every case and I continued on this road to hell. I did not think that hell in the afterlife could be any worse than the hell I was born into and grew up in.
When I turned 16, my Mom died. Finally, she was relieved! The last years of her life, she suffered from cancer – but no one told me about it! And I wasn’t even there when she died! I was deeply offended at all my relatives. I cursed God. I blamed Him for Mom’s death and hated Him.
The conclusion I came to after my Mom’s death was that life is fleeting and that I can die at any moment. This mentality drove me to even more dangerous experiments with my soul and body. Basically, I decided to waste my life to the full. I got deeper into consuming alcohol and drugs, practiced eastern religions, meditation, free sex and whatever came my way in order to fill the painful void inside – all in vain.
I expected death, but would come back to my senses again and again to find out that I am still on this earth and asking myself a question “Why?, Why am I here?, Why still alive?”
So I stumbled all the way to the year 2004 when after another suicidal fit I “coincidentally” found myself at a Christian rock concert. The songs of the “Sons of Thunder” band touched me so much that I stepped over my pride, left behind my loose company and started talking to one of the band members. He told me about Jesus and how He changed his life. He was telling his story but it sounded so much like mine, only his had a happy ending, and mine was still unresolved. He asked me how I came to the concert. I said – “I just did not have anywhere to go, so I came here…” He said – “Oh, it was for you we prayed!” and went on to explain that before the concert they prayed that God would bring people who were desperate and just had nowhere to go. He invited me to the church the next day and I went. They seemed like angels who came down from the sky; their eyes were shining with light and love. God was speaking to me personally but I did not have the guts to forsake my old life and really follow Jesus.
So I went back to my old ways. More drugs, more sex, more rock-n-roll… Only now I was sort of playing hide and seek with God. One day I was asking Him for help, and the next day I was foolishly running away from Him. But it was impossible to escape the Omnipresent!
In 2006, I badly overdosed on drugs that resulted in some of my organs shutting down and partial paralysis of my body. I went into what they call clinical death but God in His amazing grace and inexplicable mercy visited me at that time. I remember burning from the fire of His holiness and the great fear that came all over me and shocked me back to life…
Something changed deep inside of me as I found myself back to earth and doctors hovering around. I did not want to continue life as usual after that incident. I knew God had given me another chance and I grabbed a hold of His mighty saving hand! I really repented and dedicated my life to Jesus and He took me out of my pit and transformed my whole being. He took out that wounded, bitter, hardened heart and gave me a new one, alive, soft and loving. I became a new Nastya – a new creation in Christ Jesus! He gave me a new life – without sin, fornication, drugs, occult and hopelessness! I can’t thank Him enough for what He has done!”
DRUG REHAB PROGRAM NEWS
This past month our church has celebrated the graduation of Galya (photo on the left). In November, she completed the one-year program of rehabilitation from heroin addiction. Here are the words of gratitude she shared at the celebration:
“Thank you so very much for all your prayers and support during this whole year of my life. I am so grateful to Jesus for all He has done for me! He accepted me in the wretched condition that I was in, and gave me a complete new life, starting on the inside! He took out of me the heart of stone and gave a new heart – sensitive to Him and to the needs of the people around me! He gave beauty for ashes and joy for despair! I know I will never be able to adequately thank Him but I gave Him my life and want to serve Him all of my days on this Earth!”
This fall Galya enrolled in our School of Ministry and eagerly studies the Word of God to be an even more effective servant of the Lord. God has given her a beautiful teaching gift and she is a big blessing to the children’s Sunday school and to the new believers in our church. Please continue to pray for her growth in the Lord and fulfillment of His destiny in her life.
Thank you again for your prayers, encouragement and support for our ministry here! We continually thank God for you!
Many exciting things continue to happen here in Russia and Estonia. We are having a fruitful time equipping the saints for the work of the ministry in our school. The graduates are going on missionary trips. We are also continuing to see salvations, miraculous healings and deliverances from drug addiction.

NEWS FROM TALLINN
This month we have been doing a lot of preparation for the first Christmas feed-in here. We have been meeting with pastors and rehab center leaders, laying the foundation for what we believe will be a fruitful yearly event celebrating God’s power to save, heal and deliver.
We have also begun a Bible school in the women’s prison, and we have 10 very hungry, on fire Christians in the school. Lena, a woman from our church in the prison, was released this month. She began witnessing to her kids and all 3 of them received Jesus. The oldest has a learning disability where he could not comprehend what he would read. He asked for prayer and afterward began reading, with comprehension. He gave glory to God and thanked those who prayed for him, exclaiming boldly that Jesus had healed him!
We have continued to meet a lot of young women who are heroin addicts and need to be in a center. At present, there are no Christian women’s rehab centers in Estonia. We are now working on appointments with officials to see if they will help us to open one here. We would appreciate your prayers!
