Searching for love in wrong places
We met with Catherine in the village of Bardabashka in Perm region. She has a lot of health problems: poor hearing and kidney infection. Her personal life is far being from good and healthy. Catherine was married three times and has three children by different men. Catherine reminded us of a woman with whom Jesus met at the well. So often women seek for happiness in relationships, but do not find it. Only relationship with Jesus is able to bring peace and happiness. The living water that He gives quench their thirst. We shared the Gospel with Catherine, and this woman, who almost all her life was searching for happiness, finally found it in Jesus Christ. She knelt before the Lord and opened her heart to Him. The Word of God was a gift for her to continue to learn from the Lord.
Dreams come true
In the village of Bichurino we met Mirgalim. He lives with his wife and mother. Three grown up daughters live in Perm. His wife works at a farm, and he is retired. This open and very friendly man revers God, knowing that He has kept him from death many times, including during a complex cardiac surgery. Since then Mirgalim does not drink and does not smoke. He prays to God with his own words. He has a dream – to read and understand the Bible. Mirgalim was so happy that he learned of the Savior and invited Him into his heart. Our team was gratefull to God for this man’s salvation. We prayed for him and gave him the Bible as a gift.
