Jim and
Laura Hutchinson Dear Prayer Partners, We have several people from Africa who are attending our church and while they speak Russian at varying degrees of proficiency, they are fluent in English. So, we began a new Bible study for English speakers. We have attendees from Cameroon, Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Tim has been attending the Grace Baptist Church for a couple of years now but has recently been feeling that He needs to be more involved in outreach. In the weeks prior to the beginning of the study Tim began inviting his friends and acquaintances. The night we began Tim told us that he had invited 80 people to the study! I am writing this letter from Germany, where I am waiting for my new visa to return to Moscow. Tim gladly committed to teach the lesson the two weeks that I will miss. It is a great blessing and privilege to get to know these men and watch God at work in their lives. I have been experiencing some problems with my computer. In order to resolve these problems I had to call the software manufacturer. My call was forwarded to New Delhi, India and I had the opportunity to spend over an hour on the phone with a technician named Varun. It started like a normal technical support call. As we waited for the computer to perform certain functions, the conversation turned to my line of work. I explained that I am a missionary and took that opportunity to witness to Varun. He said that he is a Hindu and that he could not give up his many gods to follow Jesus. Please pray for Varun that he will choose to leave his other gods to serve the living God. In summary, today God used computer problems and a missionary to Russia sitting in Germany to witness to a man in India. To God be the glory! Our
Russian pastor, Vladimir, was asked to be the keynote speaker at a youth
camp for underprivileged children. He and a couple from our church will
be ministering at the camp in July. I will continue our Sunday and
midweek services, English Bible study and evangelism in Moscow. Thank
you to each of you who have partnered with us in prayer and support for
the work of the ministry in Russia. Please pray for God’s blessings and
protection as we continue in His service. |
