God At Work In Ufa

September, October and November were fruitful months. Groups met weekly on Sun, Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat in my apartment for Prayer and Worship around the Lord's Table, sharing, teaching and Inductive Bible study. Tuesday nights was particularly for Leaders and facilitators Training. The goal of Leaders facilitation training was to help accomplish the task of reaching the lost and starting discipleship groups. Praise God the students were starting to see more clearly the need for every believer is to reach others with the gospel of Jesus Christ. To help connect, Win, Build, Train and Send. I encouraged them to pair up and share Romans Road and the 4 Laws among themselves. There was joy among the students and an interest to use the 4 laws when witnessing for Christ. I was able to complete 4 modules from Breaking New Ground. What was of interest to them is the active role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers and non- believers. My prayer was they would lead others to Christ, make disciples and lead inductive Bible studies. The Final meeting took place on Tuesday 20th November. There were around eight students that came to me that night for what was the final Leadership Training and group Bible study. There were singing, prayer and one of the students Anatoly, shared the Word from Galatians 4:4-7. Afterwards we shared a meal together and broke bread. The other students were satisfied and gave thanks to the Lord’s for enabling Anatoly to facilitate the study by inductive Bible training method. “All Glory to God.” Mondays and Thursday were allotted for Bible studies for individuals and House Visitations. During October & November I spent Monday nights with Zulia and her two sons Peter & Andrew for Bible study and communion which was fruitful. Also Andrew and Peter came with me to House of Prayer church on Sunday mornings to attend youth Bible classes. During the final weeks in Ufa Students accompanied me for house visitation to share their testimony and Gospel message. I remember it well: Wednesday night group came back rejoicing after visiting houses on Thurs. Thanks to the Lord for the opportunity to share testimonies, the 4 laws and answered many questions. We felt greatly blessed and looked forward to more opportunities in sharing a testimony and the Gospel with others. I gave thanks to the Lord too for the many N.T Bibles that were handed out during those final weeks. It was a blessing too to meet with fellow believers on November 18th for fellowship and a time of sharing/praying. I felt encouraged when everyone prayed over me for my Upcoming ministry with CCC in Australia. We also met again on the 22nd for Thanksgiving Day Lunch, which was encouraging. Paul J.
