A Compassion Ministry Report from SGA-sponsored Missionary Pastor Valery O. in Belarus

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Please pray for Pastor Valery’s specific requests for four families in his care. Let us seek God’s hand to bring about healing for what is broken, and new life to these homes…

Vera and Alexander are parents of three children. Alexander is not a believer and is addicted to alcohol. He lost his job because of it. Vera had to find work in Poland. Her daughter, Polina, also works in Minsk. Please pray for the salvation of the family, especially for Vera and her repentance. She is the leader in the family because of Alexander’s alcoholism. Please also pray for Polina. She has repented and desires to follow God in baptism.

Valera and Tatiana are in need of God’s work in their lives and hearts. Please pray for the salvation of the family and their neighbors. I am very thankful to God for the opportunity to have a meeting in their home, and ask you to pray for their repentance as they hear the Gospel. Their neighbors listen to the Gospel at the Bible meeting very carefully.

Sasha and Anna are the parents of four children. They are a family with many children, and received a government-provided apartment and moved from a village to town. Sasha has stopped drinking and found a job. Their children attend Sunday school, and I ask you to pray for the whole family so they all can come to church together. Please pray for God’s protection against the devil’s attacks, and for their repentance.

Vasily and Vika are the parents of six children. Vasily drinks alcohol and Vika is angry at him, which brings serious conflict into the home. Their oldest daughter Anna has become very rebellious and spends time in very bad company. She has started to smoke and leaves home for long periods of time. Please pray for God’s spiritual touch and for the salvation of the family. May our mighty God rescue this family from the swamp of unbelief and occultism. They are all in need of God’s love and salvation.
