How encouraging it is to see God growing His church in the countries with congregations SGA serves—including in Israel! Please pray with us for Pastor Maxim and other missionary pastors we are assisting today, thanks to the generosity of friends like you.

God is opening doors and guiding them as they plant Russian-speaking churches, starting with providing humanitarian aid to unbelievers and sharing the love of Christ. They are building relationships that become bridges for the Gospel. Here is a brief ministry report from Maxim . . .

“Peace to you, brothers! I want to share with you about our first meeting with unbelievers. We invited nine people, of whom three came (this is the Israeli reality). Praise the Lord, it was a great meeting. After the service, we had pleasant communication with people and distributed gifts to those who came. Those who could not come to the service, we decided to visit ourselves. We hope that by the grace of the Lord, these people will also begin to come to our church services!”
