Fruit

I would like to share... not to brag but to give God the glory because HE is working in the lives of the homeless people here in Rostov on Don, Russia. He cares about them so much, they are His sons and daughters!!

Sasha lived in a garage we can see from our base. He was an alcoholic, he was also really into conspiracy theories. NoW, Sasha is living on the base with us! He became a Christian almost a year ago while in a rehab center, he worked hard on getting legal documents and proved again and again his faithfulness. He lives here and does maintenance but he also works as a security guard. He attends and is apart of a local baptist church.

Nina - I never knew this lady while she was living on the streets but I have heard the stories. Nina finally agreed to go to rehab and after completeing the program continued on to serve and work among others in the center. Recently she fell... BUT she was quick to be ready to go back and try again. She to wants to come and join us here at the base and serve in the community.




Sasha 2 - This Sasha died a few months ago now but we counted it a real privilege to have gotten to know him and to have earned his trust. When we first met him on the streets he was extremely rude and crude. We could hardly be around him as it was just to much. It was only after about a month in which we first started seeing the changes... ever so slowly he started opening up to us, testing us. Some days he treated us nicely... after probably 3 months he was a different man toward us!

Part 2 coming soon...
