Azim and Elvera became joined together as man and wife recently. Elvera has been attenting the fellowship with her brother for about 3 years. It is great to see a young couple do it God's way!!!
Ge 2:23 And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
This is the new Spiritual Freedom display board that can be used for presentations of the ministry. It will be a helpful tool for presenting the ministry at Christian events. The display boards, (one in southern Cal and one in Modesto) were donated by friends of the ministry. Thank You from all of us at SFM Moscow!!!
Due to financial difficulties the Spiritual Freedom offices have been closed since July. We are confident that God will provide the needed resources to continue this 15 years fruitful ministry to 1,000's of Russian prisoners. The letters, requests for new courses and completed courses have been coming in each week. Alexy the director of SFM recently went to the Post Office and picked up a huge bag of completed Bible courses by the prisoners. the Post Office complained to Alexy for not picking the mail up very often, but Alexy told them that he already picked a bag of mail a few days earlier. It was amazing to see so many courses coming. Some of the bible graders have been coming in without pay to keep things going. We know God will come through for us. Thank you for your prayer support and please tell others about this ministry. Direct them to the web site of SFM. (

The Mitino fellowship celebrated its 2 year anniversary. It was a home group that had been birthed with Russian Jewish Christians who came to know the Savior through the ministry of Jews for Jesus in Moscow. They began to meet in the home of Mira for Bible study and fellowship. Many of the believers were led to the Lord by Mira who is on staff with Jews for Jesus. (
see the link to Mira’s blog) Our 2 years anniversary was a great time of fellowship, worship and testimony. Max, the director of Jews for Jesus along with Ilya also on staff with Jews for Jesus provided the worship and joined our celebration. God is doing a great work here in Moscow in the hearts of the Russian Jewish people, please pray for the continued faithful work of Jews for Jesus.
Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns.

Sustenance is from Brazzaville Congo, He has been in Russian for over 15 year. It has not been a pretty 15 years for him, but through all the trials he has an amazing testimony and finding Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior. Recently Sustenance has decided to return home to his family and mother who he has not seen all these years. Sustenance also wanted to make a public declaration of his faith in Jesus Christ so last week we baptized him. Even though he will be returning to his homeland with relatively little monetary worth, he indeed returns a rich man having found his Savior and Lord. Please pray for the work of the Lord in the life of Sustenance.
Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
