Andrei and Natasha have been working with the homeless in Ekaterinburg for more than five years. It has become their life's calling. On September 15, they were able to open the first shelter in the city and bring their vision of holistic rehabilitation to fruition. In addition to providing meals, clothing, medical attention, and help in attaining legal documents, they are now able to provide a place where the homeless can study the Bible and learn more about God. Join us in praising the Lord for their unconditional love of the homeless and for His provision of this new shelter and ministry center. Pray that many will come to the Lord as a result of Andrei and Natasha's faithfulness and willingness to take the Gospel to those who have been abandoned or ignored by the world. (posted 09.22.09)
