Greetings from Moscow as the city prepares for one of it’s biggest holidays, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Please take note of the poster of Jesus Christ and the children.) This is one example of posters that every business is required to post in celebration of Easter. The one pictured here says translated in English “with celebration of the light of the Passover or Easter.” Other posters declare Jesus has risen. Every where you turn in the city these posters are displayed. On Sunday almost the entire city will greet one another with these words. « ИИСУС-ВОСКРЕС, ВОИСТИНУ-ВОСКРЕС !!!!» “ CHRIST HAS RISEN-INDEED HE HAS RISEN!!!” Please pray for our city that the reality of these words would speak to hearts and the power of the resurrection would become alive to many !! Jesus said” "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” John 11:25.
One of the traditions here in Russia during Easter is a wonderful cake called a Kulich. (See picture) I found a receipt and so if you want to give it a try you can.
Regarding our search for a permanent location for the church, we found a service that for a fee provides a data base of every building for rent in our area. Tomorrow we will be looking at one place in our region. We will keep you updated.
God Bless you and use this time as most of the world is focused on the resurrection of Christ. That God would give you opportunity to speak bolding of what the resurrection means to you. dean
