Partnering Together

I had the joy yesterday evening of walking a 79 year old woman to the bus stop. Her name is Anastasia, and she regularly attends one of our home groups. A few months ago, Anastasia repented, came to faith in Christ, and now is awaiting baptism in our church plant. As we walked, she told me that she had recently written her sister who lives in another part of Russia, a long way from Moscow. And she shared her testimony of coming to Jesus and meeting regularly now with God’s people in Bible study. She urged her sister to try to find a group of believers which study the Bible.

Her sister replied, saying that she has heard of those kind of people in her city – people that gather for Bible study – but she doesn’t know exactly where to find them. She wrote that she would be looking for these Godly people, so that she too, could learn God’s Word.

Amazing! – how God uses a changed life in Moscow, to have impact through a written letter, on another individual, practically in another country! Pray for Anastasia’s sister to become our “sister in the Lord” by finding a group of believers in her city.

I got on the bus and waved good-bye to a smiling, Spirit-filled, 79 year old, holding a cane – one of God’s cherished children.
