Dear Fellow Laborers,

Praise the Lord for the exciting things He is doing in Russia!

Maxcim Saved as Result of Door to Door Soul Winning
While door knocking in one of the many ten story apartment complexes that surround our office, I met a young man named Maxcim. He is a teenager and I asked him a few questions about what he thought would happen after he died, and whether or not he was prepared to meet God. He admitted that he was a sinner and exactly how bad his sin was. I then explained Jesus's free offer of forgiveness if we will just put our faith in Him. Maxcim prayed there at his door to accept Christ. Please pray for Maxcim. Teenagers here often face pressure to stay away from Bible believing churches. Dimitri, the teenager about whom I wrote last time, is experiencing pressure from his parents not to talk with me any longer. Pray that we will be able continue working with Maxcim and Dimitri.

Working with Many Different People
We praise the Lord that since our residency has been taken care of we can now spend more time telling people about Jesus, and then planting churches with the converts God gives us. We have many people that have not yet made professions of faith, but have expressed interest in knowing more about how to go to Heaven.

Alexsei is a 32 year old man that I met who needs your prayers. We have scheduled meetings with him to talk more about salvation, but things keep coming up that hinder him from meeting with us. He still seems very willing. Gulya is a store clerk to whom I handed a tract and then followed up on. She said she found the things written in the track very interesting and wants to know more about it. Please pray for her salvation. Katya, a teenager let me go through the entire plan of salvation with her, but was reluctant to make a decision on the spot. She said it would be alright to visit her again to see whether or not she had accepted Christ. I have been making friends with a man named Dima for almost a year now. I have witnessed to him on a few occasions with limited success. We had him and his girlfriend over for lunch. Her name is Zhenya and she is a doctor. Please pray that they will be saved.

Prayer Requests
- Maxcim to be faithful under persecution.
- Salvation for Alexsei, Lyudmilla and Vasilye, Misha and Marina, Oleg and Lena.

Yours in Christ,
Adam, Angela, Alex, and Amelia
