2 Friends

Natasha (L) and her neighbor Alla (R) were reached during Saturday Evangelism August 2001. Natasha's husband is devout communist, therefore she was virtually atheistic too. Witnessed to by a friend, Natasha went to the national 'baptist' union church with Alla and learned enough of the Gospel to receive Christ at home one evening. This is a very rare instance, due to the national 'baptist' heretical teachings.

Fellowship

Natasha is very friendly even towards our children, sitting here talking with John-Steven at a church fellowship. Jan 02

Faithfully enduring

Natasha (back right) faithfully comes for virtually every service. Her communist husband has abused both her and her daughter in drunken rages. Addicted to both vodka and hardcore pornography, he makes home life exceedingly difficult for Natasha. But the Lord comforts her and faithfully gives her strength to endure one the severest domestic situations we've ever encountered. She prays earnestly for his conversion. March 02
