Great time in Udmurtia



God is at work . . .
Sunday saw even more evidence of His loving hand reaching down and touching the Udmurt with His love.

Sunday morning the Engage Russia team and the Udmurt VSC Team split up and spoke in three different churches. Relationships were built and/or developed, new contacts were made, the Gospel was preached and the church was strengthened.

Sunday evening the Jesus Film was shown in a small Udmurt village an hour or so outside of the capital. There was rejoicing in heaven as at least one person gave his life to Christ (man holding song book above).

The Lord has been working through the partnership between the White River Baptist Association in North Arkansas and the churches in Udmurtia for more than 3 years now.
Jack Gilliland, a retired high school art teacher, has been leading the partnership, organizing volunteer teams, strategizing with national partners, planning events, and personally sharing the Good News every step of the way.

Pray for Jack, and stateside partners like him, as he continues to respond to the call to Engage Russia.

If you would like to know more about how you can partner with us in reaching a new city or people group where we have no IMB personnel, contact us at tellmemore@engagerussia.org
