Pray that God will fill the Slavic believers with a hunger for His Word: "Desire the sincere milk of the Word" (1 Peter 2:2), and a spirit of prayer: "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Ask God to call many young men and women to serve Him sacrificially and sincerely in places of leadership. Pray that some will choose to serve in other Slavic countries as missionaries. Intercede for the Christian leadership in Eastern Europe that they will withstand the powers of darkness and remain stable in their spiritual roles. |
The Slonim Bible Church in Slonim, Belarus looks forward to the next step in its development and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ. From the difficulties of obtaining documentation in those beginning days to the struggles of sustaining growth in the present, the church continues to honor and glorify the Lord through worship and outreach.
With the purchase of a building in an ideal location in the town, the leadership of the church trusts that God will help in the transition from the home church to the new site. Because of large donations, the church has been able to do some renovation on the first floor. Heating systems have been installed in new floors, and all the windows on the first floor have been replaced. Now, the walls and ceiling need to be completed.
Pastor Alexsei Podgorzhalesky and the church membership are anticipating that day when they can begin to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in this new place of worship. Pray that more funds will be received in order to complete the first floor. Once the transition is made, the “old” House of Prayer will be sold. Those funds will then complete the second floor of the building, as well as other renovations that need to be accomplished to the grounds and the exterior of the building.
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Psalm 37:5-6
