Greetings from Russia in the precious name of
Jesus! The Jesus Christ Church of Astrakhan city greet you. Our church
is only three years old. Astrakhan city is the most southern point of
Russia. Our nearest neighbours are the republics where Islam and
Buddhism are predominate:
Kazakhstan, Kalmykia, Azerbaijan, Ichheria, Dagestan, Turkey. The
people of various nationalities are leave in Astrakhan.
God gave opportunity to our church to preach the God's Word on
TV twice a week , and many people of varies nationalities are the constant
listeners.. The church is engaged in evangelisation. For three years about
200 persons has come to Lord which have accepted water baptism and become
the members of our church.
During three years we had no own building. We were compelled to change
a place of meetings eight times because of a rent payment was increased
every time. So we brought this problem to God in our prayers . We begged
Him about our own prayer house.
Glory to a God! Recently we’ve got the own building ! This is a former cinema. Praise the Lord! Now in the most centre of this half-million city stands a church, carrying name of our Lord Jesus Christ! However only third part of building’s cost is assembled as donation of our brothers and sisters. The large part of this sum is given to us in a duty on short term. We believe that God will help us as always!
Most recently nobody could not even at his own flat have a Bible or Gospel. But now in the most centre of the city we preach the Holy Bible. Hallelujah!
Our young church will be happy to get many new friends!
Let God bless you!
