Pastor Vasily and his congregation count it all joy to reach families and individuals in need in their community, as they provide critical aid and spiritual support in difficult times.
BELOW: As they see the body of Christ reach out with compassionate help to provide food packages, warm clothing, and other critical aid, people who are hurting also see something that will satisfy their hearts’ deepest spiritual needs — and many respond!
Galina suffers from poor health and lives alone. Pastor Vasily and his church members bring food packages and God’s presence to her home. “She is very grateful to the Lord and to you,” he says.
Though Raisa is an unbeliever, we trust God is working to draw her to Himself through the SGA-sponsored church members’ frequent visits. She suffered from COVID-19 and is grateful for the food aid.
Raising three children on her own is not easy for Julia. She has accepted help with joy and gratitude, and has heard the Gospel while attending holiday services at the SGA-sponsored church.
