Looking for missionrussia.co.za? Don't worry - missionrussia.info is exactly the same site. Unfortunately, due to some software limitations, we have to restrict the Information Platform to one main domain. The missionrussia.co.za domain continues to exist, and all the .co.za e-mail addresses continue to operate, but co.za will in future automatically redirect to .info. Thanks for understanding!

Dear friends,
Greetings to you in the name of our wonderful King and Friend, Jesus Christ!
I want to immediately encourage you never to be intimidated by the attacks of the enemy. Don't ever allow a spirit of fear to manipulate you or influence your emotions, thoughts or actions. You are a son and daughter of the Most High God, proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. You WILL be strong and do mighty exploits as the Holy Spirit empowers you.
Heb 10:38 "NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; BUT IF ANYONE DRAWS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM."
So when we find ourselves in a pressing or difficult situation, we have a unique opportunity to please the Lord by standing strong in faith DESPITE circumstances.
When you truly believe, actively expect the breakthrough and victory, for to those who live by faith, victory isn't a matter of IF but WHEN. And don't think the IF is always a long way off, the Holy Spirit is in constant anticipation for the release of the word of faith.
I have learnt something important: Look at the spiritual fruit in the life of the person who is telling you that what you are believing God for is impossible to accomplish. If that person has no long-term spiritual fruit in his life, don't even bother to listen to him. He is wasting precious God-given time that has been given to you for other purposes.
Find those Christians who are water-walkers and Kingdom warriors, those whose walk backs up their talk.Be carefulof those who are outside the church, because you will always find Jesus where He is busy building His church.
Dear friends, how wonderful, loving, Almighty is our God!
God is blessing our church in Moscow. People are saved and the sickhealed. Thankyou for your prayers of faith. The Lord is answering them to the glory of His name.
Continue to unite with us in praying for new home churches to be formed. Remember that our home churches are moving together in unity, forming one movement with one purpose.
We now have two missionaries stationed in Siberia, pray that the Lord will give them special grace for the unique challenges facing them there: extreme cold and vast distances. One region of Siberia - the Krasnoyarsk Region - is as big as France. Temperatures can go down to - 60 degrees Celsius (in the Far East of Russia the record stands at -72.)
Continue praying for Carol and her team as they are laying the foundation for the Fire of the Bride trans siberian prophetic train trip in the summer of next year.
May the Lord bless you, your family and the local church you are serving in. Know that God is GOOD and wants to shower gifts of blessing on you. Just ask Him. (Matt. 7:11).
