Mission Russia International

From Gertjan and Judy in South Africa

Posted on March 9, 2010

Hi there dear friends,

We, along with James & Marie Lottering hosted a fabulous “Evening in a Russian home” on Thursday evening in the Covenant Centre.  We ate Russian food, played Russian gospel music, shared about the food and culture with some funny moments in a slide show, and we shared about our lives and ministry there.

James spoke about his 2 1/2 week mission trip to us in December – it was SO GOOD to hear a “visitor’s” views and perception of Russia and its precious people.  My heart swelled with emotion and longing, as I looked “from the outside” at the fabulous DVD of his ministry there.  To hear our friends and see the places where we work for the Lord on DVD was amazing.  So many asked us please to do such an evening again!  I can say with confidence that ALL enjoyed the evening.

News from Corrie and Olesya

Posted on February 26, 2010

Hello Friend

It is Spring-time!! The temperatures have risen just above 0 degrees Centigrade and the snow has started to melt.

We had a wonderful time of ministering this last Sunday at Rasa church’s teenager service. We are in awe of what God is doing in the group.

Monday and Tuesday we attended a conference for church pastors just outside of Moscow. There we were also encouraged to see what God is doing in different churches in Russia.

Missions Report October 2009 – John Tyrell and Leigh Goodwin

Posted on February 11, 2010

TULA

John Tyrell, pastor of Hednesford AoG,  & Leigh Goodwin flew to Moscow on 16th October. The next day we went down to Tula by minibus. Tula is a city of about 500,000 approx 200 kms south of Moscow. Leigh’s contacts there are Gertjan & Judy Pelleboer, South Africans who Leigh taught at ASM. They are part of the church & support pastor Sasha (Alexander). The church share the building with another church for Sunday meetings so this limits their activities. We joined the church for a wonderful social event on the Saturday evening to celebrate pastor Sasha’s 40th birthday. John Tyrell ministered on the Sunday am & Leigh brought a prophetic word about the growth of the church. In the evening Leigh brought some teaching to a small leadership team. The pastor indicated that he would like further specific input into the church there that related to leadership development. We then travelled back on Monday am to Moscow to link in with Hugo Van Niekerk’s assistant pastor Olga Samarina. Olga talked us through the rest of the trip’s arrangements.

Heartbreak in India

Posted on January 29, 2010

This is not news from Russia, but cause for prayer nevertheless since these are our brothers and sisters in the Lord: 14 pastors were killed yesterday (28 January 2010) at Raikia in the Indian state of Orissa. One pastor, R.K. Digal, was burnt to death.

Please pray for the loved ones and flock of these martyred Christians. Please pray also for millions of Christians that fear for their lives every day. Pray for Orissa state and for India.

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (Joh 15:18,19)

Do You Really Think I Love Jesus?

Posted on January 29, 2010

Dear Brother and Sister

Do you really think I love Jesus?

Do I love Jesus if I am still so much engaged in securing my own comfort and future – striving to fulfill my own desires while I walk amongst millions of dead people, destined for eternal destruction?

If I really love Jesus I would share His passion and we know to what heights His passion took Him – on top of the cross, on top of Golgotha where He gave up His everything so that others can be saved.

Do I have the same passion as Jesus?

This was the question I was confronted with over and over again when we visited Egypt and the cold parts of Russia recently.

News From Singapore

Posted on January 26, 2010

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Singapore in Jesus’ wonderful name!

The Lord is blessing us – me and Mario Steyn from Lewende Woord – in this incredible city.

I have never seen a city like Singapore – it is a super city without comparison.  As many of you know, God has shown me that one of three church planting bases – the other being in Moscow and Mumbai – will be established in Singapore.  During my meeting with key leaders here, it has been confirmed that God has showed them that this city-state will become like Antioch (see Acts 13) to Asia.

We are making progress here much quicker than I could ever have hoped for.  Still, the most important purpose of this trip is to listen to the Father as He is revealing more about the future of this church planting base to us.

Thank you for praying with us!  We are all standing together to see the multitudes of the nations of Asia come into the Kingdom of God.

Once back in Moscow, I will write in more detail.

In Christ,
Hugo

Kingdom Global India

Posted on November 24, 2009

Taking hands to Advance the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Globally

Dear friends and co-labourers in the Kingdom,

By now many of you have heard about the incredible doors the Lord has opened to us in India.  More than 300 pastors in the province of Andhra Pradesh, East of Hyderabad, have decided to come under the cover of Kingdom Global.  This is the result of a series of events orchestrated by the Lord.  Kingdom Global India is about to be born!

In the natural this is incredible, as we haven’t yet set foot on Indian soil.  In the spiritual realm though, this makes perfect sense, as in the last years and especially since the beginning of 2009, the Lord has started to talk very clearly to me about India.  During prayer, He has also been revealing to me aspects about the coming ministry in the coming years and even decades in India.  SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAS SHOWN ME IN PRAYER IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, much faster than I could have anticipated.

Vision For A City Church

Posted on November 2, 2009

Dear Friends and Fellow Kingdom Citizens,

Today, during our Sunday service in the Kingdom of Heaven Church in Moscow, I once again emphasized a few key pointers for the vision of our church:

1. The Key Scripture is Mat. 6:10 “Your Kingdom come.  Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
2. The Motto of our church is “Heaven in Every Home”
3. Our Church is going to become a One Million Member City Church.  An integral part of that vision is to plant a local church in each of Moscow’s 123 districts.  Even before the average size of each local church will be 10 000 members, the total amount of city church members will already be more than one million.
4. Consequently we have a vision for preparing ministers for all those churches on a constant basis.
5. We have a vision for nation-wide and global church planting.  As our light shines far into the nations, it will also shine brightly at home.
6. The vision will be fulfilled by abiding in Christ and learning how to get into and stay in the flow and anointing of the Holy Spirit.  We don’t believe that a high-powered, pressurized atmosphere will result in the abundant fruit we are looking for.  Rather, an atmosphere of faith, hope and love will produce fruit that will multiply and last for all eternity.  (See Jn. 15:16)
7. We believe that each member has his important and unique place in the family of God.  As we humbly and respectfully take hands with one another, always focusing on Christ alone, we will see the multitudes of Moscow and Russia come to God the Father to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Wherever you are, if you want to become actively involved in this vision, whether it be by praying, giving or coming over, I would like to hear from you!

With love in Christ,
Hugo

Gertjan And Judy Pelleboer – A New Baby!

Posted on October 29, 2009

Hi dear Friends!

A NEW BABY?

Well – sort of… Read on…

We are thrilled to announce that our website “NEW CREATION SPECTRUM” is on the horizon.  NewCreationSpectrum.co.za goes live on the 10th November 2009.  This wonderful idea came about as a result of so many people asking us questions like, “what do you do? what is your ministry?”

Every year that we have returned to Russia, God has added yet another sphere to our “spectrum” which makes it difficult to explain in one paragraph.  Now we can say, “You can look on our website to see what we do and if there is any way in which we may serve you in Jesus Name”.

And let the beauty and the delightfulness and favour of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands – yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it (Ps. 90:17).
