Maxim and Yulia ( their little baby daughter Eva) started youth CLUB outside the church . The goal is t o reach risk group youth - youth that came out of broken homes, criminal past and present) ) etc.. I had the greatest honor to speak to the group of young people . All are different - some do not believe in the existence of God for they grew up in hell and doubt that God who is kind exists at all. Others came out of criminal past or in the process. They hate themselves and they ask questions - why are they here on the earth? We really talked and answered questions. They love to come to these meetings because they feel loved, accepted and they learn that God is the author of their life and soul. I asked them - Tell me at least 3 good qualities of about yourself - and none of them could. They were willing to tell me 10 bad things about themselves. Finally the few with the my help managed say something good about themselves. everybody loved it. And you could tell how little miracles would take place in the souls - the warmth and smiles and masks removed little by littles.

From criminal to the disciple of Jesus!

Andrey accepted Jesus into his heart not long ago. He was a n atheist and grew up in an alcoholic home . As the teenager started to use drugs, sell drugs and steal cars. After he was invited to Max's youth club he still was reluctant about believing in Jesus as the Savior . So right after that Andrey was sentenced to prison for car theft for few years. And there in prison he remembered everything Max told him about Jesus and he turned to the Lord for help. Jesus answered and Andrey was released earlier from prison. Today Andrey is a growing follower of Jesus. I loved him immediately. He is so real and truthful and sincere. Guys like Andrey are going to change Russia into a godly nation.
