Making a difference in East Siberia!

Village Gospel Harvest is bringing the Good News to small nationalities that populate Russia!

Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug is a federal subject of Russia in East Siberia. Historically Nenets people are an indigenous tribe who have long survived in this region. Their life involves subsistence h unting and gathering, including the taking of polar bears; the practice of hunting polar bears continues up to the present time.

Noviy Urengiy and Nadym are making a difference in the midst of tundra.

Two of our churches are located in YaNAO -abbreviation of the official name of the region - in towns of Noviy Urgengoy and Nadym ( 300 km apart). I was able to encourage leaders by conducting seminars in both places. 2 days in Nadym and 4 days in N.Urengoi. Leaders from Lembiakha (not far from N.Urengoy)also joined 4 days event.

Young church in Nadym

Young girl Alexandra , daughter of one of our church members, came during the day to share her heart and ask for an advice. She has a hard time at school to maintain Christ values and standards in the midst of moral compromise.

In Nadym there were mainly young in Christ followers of Jesus and I did personal counselling during the day and seminars with Q&A in the evenings.

Alexandra cried and we prayed. I encouraged her to continue being firm and rely on God’s grace given to her and be a witness of Christ in the midst of darkness.

Noviy Urengoy seminars

Our church The Way, the Truth and the Life is a strong witness for Christ. Pastor Alla moved to the region from Crimea answering God's call!

Leaders were asking questions and seminars were very productive. I taught on the importance of presenting the full story of the Gospel and emphasised the beginning - Creation! Many scholars believe that the most important chapters of the Bible are Genesis 1-3!

Dmitriy is a devoted believer . He is also praise and worship leader. His life has changed when he came to the Lord Being an excellent worker in the gas production corporation he began

to share the Good News with the officials when they saw the change in him. Dmitriy was sure he will be fired for his faith. But Dmitriy found favour with the bosses and God is supernaturally protecting him as His witness.

Liudmila îs leader in Nadym. It took her 5 years to finally realise that God wants her to reach out to the Nenets nation. She grew up in the mixed family - her father is Russian and her mother is of Nenets nation. Liudmila received a confirmation to her calling during seminars. God gave her specific steps in order to start moving toward missions among Nenets. She plans her trip to tundra to her mother's relatives in nearest future.

Marina is a former moslem from Dagestan. At a very young age she was given away by her parents as a wife to a young man. She was physically and emotionally abused by him so much that she ran away first to Ukraine and then to Noviy Urengoy. Here she heard the Gospel from pastor Alla and met her husband who is now one of the leaders in the church.

Mark and Masha are twins of our leaders in Noviy Urengoiy church. During seminars they were busy creating masterpieces - all kind of animals and during tea breaks they would bring them to me to see and evaluate.

My little angels and new friends!
