DOMODEDOVO (MOSCOW, RUSSIA) - Our team of three went to an outreach to an old village Yam in Moscow region. While passing one house, I saw a woman in the yard talking on the phone. But, seeing that it’s a rich house, we passed by. When we were at a considerable distance from that house, the Lord said to me, “Go back, this is the person for whom you are here today.” Our team came back. At first, the woman did not want to talk to us, she was very angry and screamed that if we were Russian, no conversation would happen.
We let her speak out, and then carefully asked why she was so hostile to us. It turned out that she was from Ukraine, and her neighbors began to openly express their hatred for her because of the war conflict in Ukraine. We convinced the woman that there was no her guilt in this conflict. And when she calmed down, we left her alone with sister Julia. Unhappy woman started to talk about her problems. Later Julia said the woman felt much better after she heard the Gospel. The feeling of guilt, oppressing her lifted up, and she repented!
