Elina’s Baptism

This summer I got to experience that most important thing in the life of any Christian. I was baptized. I had been thinking about this decision for a long time but I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be baptized or not.  I had been praying and asking God about it for a long time. And He answered my prayers.

 I sing and play the keyboard in our church youth worship team. One day our worship team leader came to talk with me. We spoke about baptism. It was during that talk when I understood that it was time for me to make this important decision. A week later (August, 5) I was baptized. I trusted my life to God. Before I made this decision, I felt nervous and worried, and I was seeking God’s support. And He gave it to me through my friends in the church. I am very thankful to Him!

Why We Sponsor…

God has no bounds.  That is such a profound statement, yet so very true.  To know that God loves each and every one of us also seems so very hard to grasp.  One of the reasons we sponsor children from other countries is so they have firsthand knowledge of just how huge God is and just how much He loves them.  When children realize that God is working in their lives through a family across the globe, both the hugeness of God and the personal love of God becomes real to them.  At least that is our hope.  We want to give children the opportunity to know God so we support organizations like Light to the World Ministries in order for children like Liza to have that chance.  In the scheme of these children’s lives, our investment is small but it helps each of them to remain on a path grounded in Christ.  As they grow, each of their lives will impact dozens of others.  The impact of God is boundless.

My Way Camp Success

The Christian Camp “My Way” is an annual summer event of Kostroma Christian Church and Light to the World Christian Academy, and 2018 marked the 7th year.  Camp was held on July 16-20 on camp grounds about 40 miles away from Kostroma. In total there were 47 kids and 35 adults attending. Every day kids took part in morning discussions, played soccer, volleyball, board games and participated in different sport relays. In the evenings we gathered for worship and teaching and small group discussion followed.  Campfire included adults sharing their testimonies of faith. During camp, so many youth were strengthened in their faith as well as many who heard the Gospel for the first time. The leaders were multi generational and felt a sense of unity through serving this week.  Please pray for the salvation of the kids who participated in the Camp.
