My Mom's Group

In September, I started my second year working with the mom's in Petrovka. Because several of the moms are working now, I have two groups on Wednesdays. The first group meets at 10:00 am and the second group meets at 12:15 pm. There are currently 16 moms who attend each week. Several of the moms repented last year, but unfortunately there is no visible fruit in their lives. I continually pray for them and pray especially that their eyes will be opened to the light of the glorious Gospel. Many in the group feel things are okay in their lives and they don't really need God. However, they continue to come to our Bible study. A new young mom, Lera, started coming in October. She has a new baby boy, Arsinee, who is two and one half months old. She is seeking God and wants to live according to the Bible. Another mom, Vika, is partially paralyzed on the right side of her body. She hasn't come to know Jesus yet, but she is constantly inviting people to come to church. She brought her sister, Nadia, to our Bible study and her sister loved being with us. She made the comment that there is something different about us - that we are joyful and happy. After her first time, she asked me if it would be alright if she came to church on Sunday. Yes!!! Of course!!! Please pray for these moms to come to know Jesus. We invited them to come to our New Year's Eve celebration and some of their husbands are considering joining us. Pray for the Spirit of God to work mightily in their lives and in the lives of their families.
