Easter info Rus

Easter info (Rus)
Вот фотки с пасхи и крещения!!

Люди чаще идут в церковь на пасху, и то , лишь для того чтоб совершить ритуал и опять к нормальной жизни!  
Хороший повод всё ж, пригласить на служение!
Мы раздали много приглашений и решили устроить особенное празднование пасхи с обедом, мням мням!
А также, Господь ему показал что мы устроим крещение! Не просто всё было организовать но Господь верен!!! Он помог нам всё устроить.

Мы смогли арендовать зал побольше  и нашли место для проведения крещения.

Я так надеюсь, что в каждую пасху у людей появиться еще одна возможность приоткрыть занавес на истинность слов «во истину воскрес»

Easter and Baptism on April 23

Easter and Baptism!!! April 23

Of all the days in a year, Easter would probably be THE day when people in Russia are most likely to go to church!!!! So we wanted to make nice invitations and invite people to church for a special Easter church service all are welcome! Our friends or those who ever visited the church service, any people we know or ever met in Alexandrov, and of course we wanted to make a nice open event so any body would feel free to come and bring a friend. We passed out as many invitations as we could.
So, Lee and I were on the phone this one day as we were praying and thinking about what would we want for the Easter service this year … and he is like… -Well, we defiantly are renting a big hall here at “Yubilany d/k” and we’re gonna have special program and a dinner. … (wow) .. And , I prayed about it [he said] and I think the Lord is showing me that we are to have a baptism for those who want to get baptized!!!
And I am like…. – wow, that’s awesome, we gonna have to find a place where to do the baptism… there is no swimming pool in Alexandrov and the water in lakes ,well it’s like just above ice temperature :) …
However, God always has a good plan! 1st- we were able to rent a bigger hall and 2nd- we were able to find a small but nice size pool in one of the sauna places, actually a very nice place :)
Two girls from our fellowship that have been with the Lord for over a year have expressed their desire to get baptized!!!

Oh, what a wonderful Easter day that was! Ha-ha I loved the food part! We had so much fun celebrating the resurrection of our Lord ! The true meaning of Christian belief!! What a day to get baptized too!!!





I just pray that people brake true traditions that blind them, here in Russia, it is so strong in the mind. Not that all traditions are bad, there are some nice once, but unfortunately, it doesn’t go further then those traditions and the true meaning of Easter and the fraise “Christos voskres- vo Istinoo Voskress” stays veiled. 

S Korea team

April 8-14 News, S. Korean team!! (En)

A. Missionary team from a Christian school in Seoul , S. Korea

If I would have to put it in a few words, I would say: it was one of the best missionary teams of all the times that we had missionary group visits to Vladimir CC, it was one of the biggest teams too!

We had a huge group of teenagers from a Christian school in Seoul , S. Korea!!!

Ben Horne brought the team… he is Pastor Lee’s good friend from a long ago, they used too teach at the same school together! This one time Ben shared: “ You know, Lee!.. I would have never thought that we would meet like this,here in Russia, both doing the same missionary work! “ Well, that has happened! The Lord has wonderful plans for our lives!

A group of high school students had planned a missionary trip, and their first step was going to Russia, (Vladimi and Alexandrov, Moscow).

For a lot of them, it was the first time they would openly share the gospel, on the streets and thru youth night events.

Guys were shocked with some prosecution that they had to face, and yet , at the same time.. they were sure enough, strengthened in faith! Back in S. Korea they hardly had ANY prosecution at all.. almost 40 % of the population in Seoul confess Christianity and regularly attend the local church on Sundays : )

The time in Vladimir was unforgettable !! The group has prepared several drama-skits, songs in Korean, English, and even Russian.

We had nice time having evangelism youth nights along with our local church band “Identification”

A lot of people showed up to hear the gospel and meet the S. Korean team. Everybody had nice time. Afterwards we had a tea and fellowship time together. I liked that time the most!! I saw a lot of guys that came for the first time to something like this, meeting the team, as they had a chance to witness individually and testify of their faith. They answered the questions and told about the reason why they came on mission trip. Some were just having fun, playing the games and meeting each other.

Second part of the Russia trip was to Alexandrov!

We have set up several events like street evangelism, sport events, night of fellowship and etc.

One of the these was an event for fellowship where everybody could come and meet high school students from a Christian school in Korea. We have rented a hall at “Ubileni concert hall”. The whole hall was packed. We have been working hard passing out tons of flyers out in the streets [ our office worker, Anya, liked the design for the flyers a lot!! : ) sorry for the tilted dove, lol ]

For the event, the team did dramas, sang songs and shared their wonderful testimonies . And then there was a word and an altar call several people prayed!! After the event there was such a nice fellowship, people just stuck around for tea and cookies and were anxious to meet each other. Team had chance to share about their lives and faith.

The next day we went to the children’s orphanage, to share the love of God that He has given us, and to bring some gifts.

At the end of the trip, we all went to Moscow, very early the rainy morning, just to walk around Moscow for sights, and of course, that would mean that the “Moscow Mission” would actually take place! He- he!!

Indeed, some guys were sharing the gospel right there on the Red Square with some tourists from North Korea!! WOW. We also had a nice time at “Izmailovo vernisazh” souvenir shopping place, where we bought tons of souvenirs. And oh!! Goodness !! yeah! I forgot to mention the time at McDonalds, it could have been crazy, trying to order for more then 30 people and have them all find a place to seat. There were no tears, thankfully.




The S. Korean team was very much blessed by this trip! Right guys?? Oh!! What a blessing u were here at the same time!!!

Keep up the good work!! You are awesome! You are a huge blessing to God and those you touch with your lives!!

April 8-14 news (russian) S.Korean team

Новости Апрель 2006  ( 8-14 Апреля) / News (RUS) April 8-14 S. Korea team

А. Миссионерская Группа из христианской школы в Сеуле, Корея. (Апрель 8-14)

Коротко я бы описал это так:  самая большая,  и одна из самых лучших миссионерских групп за все время приездов миссионерских групп в «Часовню у Голгофы» Владимир
  
К нам приехало много молодёжи из Христианской школы  из Кореи из города Сеул!!!!! Их привез Бенжи Хорн, он давнишний друг пастора Ли Фокса, когда то они работали вместе в школе! Бенжи как то раз сказал: «Знаешь Ли, я даже и не думал что однажды, мы вот так, с тобой встретимся в России, и будем вместе заниматься миссионерской деятельностью»
Что ж , это случилось! У Господа чудесные планы, и порой то, что он вершит в нашей жизни – по истине удивительно!

У группы студентов была запланирована миссионерская поездка, и их первым шагом был приезд во Владимир! Для многих из них это была самая первая возможность делиться Евангелием, вот так просто, нести благую весть на улице или устраивая молодежные встречи!
Ребята были удивленны и конечно же укреплены в вере ,когда столкнулись с гонением на улице!! Там , откуда они приехали это крайняя редкость, быть отверженным за веру в Христа. Почти 40% населения Южной Кореи исповедуют Христианство и регулярно ходят на служения в свои поместные Христианские церкви для изучения Библии : )

        Время во Владимире было не забываемым. Ребята подготовили несколько драм-сценок а также песен на Корейском, Английском, и даже Русском . И вместе с нашей местной муз. группой «Идентификация», провели молодежные вечера!!  Пришло много ребят которые услышали Евангелие. Всем очень понравилось. После программы музыки было время для общения и чаепития, мне больше всего понравилась именно эта часть! Многие остались пообщаться, ребята из Кореи отвечали на вопросы и  рассказывали о том, почему и как они верят, или просто делились о своей жизни! А некоторые просто, весело проводили время вместе.
              Вторая часть миссионерской поездки в Россию  была в Александрове!
Мы запланировали и подготовили вечер общения, арендовали зал в д/к Юбилейный.
Я придумал красивые приглашения  и  мы раздали их целую тонну{Аня, правда они тебе понравились? Извини за приплюснутого голубя }.  Пришел полный зал новых людей, и после этого вечера было замечательное время общения. Ребята знакомились и делились друг с другом о своей жизни и вере.
На следующий день мы отправились в детский дом чтоб поделиться  там с детьми своей любовью и подарками.  
               В конце своей поездки, вся группа отправилась в Москву, ранним дождливым утром, чтобы просто там погулять перед отлетом группы, и конечно же для того, чтобы Moscow Mission ,  все-таки состоялась!!!!!!!!!   Да, и на самом деле, во время прогулки по Красной  Площади, несколько ребят делились Евангелием с туристами из Северной Кореи. УАУ!!! Вот это да!! Мы также побывали на вернисаже в Измайлово, накупили там кучу сувениров : )  . И ещё, ох и ах!!- ох уж этот Макдоналдс . Просто безумие , заказать всем то что они хотят и рассадить группу подростков больше 30 человек! О, да! Я теперь знаю что это такое! Хотя, слава Богу, всё прошло без слёз

Ребята из Кореи были так сильно благословлены этой миссионерской поездкой!!!  НО также, они стали огромным благословением для нас!!!!!  

Ok! this would be a very first picture!
Wow! what an event!
