A Church in every village. . .



This is Misha. Misha is an Udmurt man who lives in a small village southwest of Izhevsk, the capital of Udmurtia Republic. He was one of the people responsible for helping us arrange to show the Jesus film in his village two weeks ago. That was the night about 40 young people showed up and several raised their hands in answer to the question "how many of you prayed to received Jesus into your hearts" during the film.

Misha also has a small church meeting in his house, but now has a mission field of young people in his back yard wanting to know more about Jesus.

Misha's son, who lives in his dad's house with his own family of 4, is an agricultural engineer by training but has not been able to find a job elsewhere so he lives and teaches at the school in this village where all of these young people attend.

Pray for this little church in Misha's house and for this group of young people who prayed. Pray also for this to multiply 2000 times over the Republic of Udmurtia.

Pray also for Valodya Kuznechov as he arranges, trains other teams, and travels around showing the Jesus film in these villages.

Pray for HOPE 4 Udmurtia as we add support to what God is doing here in Udmurtia.

Serving Him together,
