1 Peter 4:10-11

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Certificate of fruit Ministries spread God's word "Almaz"


Andriy Kucher, pastor of the church in s.Burlacheny, Cahul district, Moldova

"I want to thank you for the materials that are on your site. January 15, 2011 I am in my church held a workshop for young people," Choosing a life partner. "It was a great blessing for us. The most important thing is that throughout the workshop focuses God-centrism and Bible-centrism. Following the seminar, a young girl turned to God in prayer of repentance.

Also, I used the material from the conference "How is practical sanctification." I spent this seminar in the four churches ! Again, the blessing of this seminar is that it powerfully exalted God. At first I felt special blessings, learning material and teaching it. Also, many Christians express their special gratitude.

And I took the material "The greatness of a path and practice of salvation." This seminar is turned, first, my attitude to the gospel, and, secondly, those who listened to him.

So I want to thank you and special thanks to the Lord, Who is using you (N. Skopicha-ed note) in his ministry of spreading the Word of God. "

What a great and wonderful potential Ukraine has, since this country has an excellent geographic location, Ukraine shares borders with 10 countries.

This is very similar to ancient Ephesus or Corinth.

Pray for Ukraine's thousands of people who have been exposed to the truth, that all cities will preach the true gospel, that Ukraine would be sold in practice its potential to save millions of souls for the glory of Christ!

My ministry

Almaz means Diamond...

...A diamond is the hardest natural substance known, having been created by intense heat and pressure. We see believers becoming like diamonds, created the only way possible, through fiery trials…and then, the final precision sculpting by the Master Jeweler as He cuts them into priceless gems. I believe this is not just a metaphor, but a true “last days” vision, for, as these diamonds are prepared, and as the light of Yeshua begins beaming through them, we are seeing thousands of rays of light impacting this darkening world around us…all for His glory!

Don’t despise the discipline, the intense pressure you are currently under, the testing of your faith. Rather, as hard as it can be, try to embrace them in light of what they truly are — the very method of God’s forming you into a priceless diamond for the world to see, and be amazed at the beauty of Yeshua shining bright and clear as crystal through your very life!

School News

The session, scheduled for March 26, 2011, was postponed to April 30, on which we continue to explore the theme of the Holy Spirit!

May 28 will be the last session of the first level of the school "deep foundation of faith."
Additions to the homework will not be at this level. Therefore, students have the opportunity to complete all tasks to complete first level of the school.

Graduation plan on May 29, which will be awarded diplomas ... Evidence, sweet and a lot of communication included:)

News for February 2011



Feb. 26 session was held in the format of the conference "The Holy Spirit, His nature and actions," which brought together around the study of God's Word nearly 280 people from different cities of Ukraine. This was a record number of participants from previous conferences of the church "Diamond", which says on the one hand that many Christians today are interested in biblical teaching about the Holy Spirit. On the other hand - a tendency to increase the number of participants also spoke about the longing to study God's Word and know the truth. And it's certainly cause for celebration.

Conference on "The Holy Spirit, His nature and actions" took place in the course "Pneumatology" Church bible school "Diamond". Throughout the day, was considered the biblical teaching about the personality and divinity of the Holy Spirit, his actions and manifestations in the Old and New Testaments. Given the many serious perversion of biblical teaching on this subject in the contemporary Christian world, we also stopped in detail on important issues such as baptism in the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and His role in the rebirth of man. It was noted that a proper understanding of the Third Person of the Trinity and His action is extremely important for a successful spiritual life as an individual Christian and the whole church. And all sorts of deviations from the truth of Scripture in this matter could lead to the collapse of a Christian's spiritual life.

The study of the personality of the Holy Spirit is not limited to this conference, but will continue at the regular session of the Church's Bible school "Diamond", to be held in April 30 and will focus on the Holy Spirit in Christian life.

You may ask us, Why do we serve the orphans in Ukraine

This is a beautiful video of Pastor Sasha and some of his team members that travel across the ocean to do what they are burdened to do for the orphans in Ukraine. Once you are there and have experienced the tremendous tug on your heart, saying no...is not an option any longer. You want to know true religion? This is it friends...Orphans...I remember one Christmas out shopping for my children and suddenly losing the desire to buy things that were un-necessary for them because I was overwhelmed with reality by the faces that came into my mind in the Ukraine orphanage. Simple gifts of things they liked were going to be enough...We have so much, and not just materialistic things, but family and relationships and love. These orphans are loved by their care workers and visitors for a short time, but they really need a full time family to love them. We are so blessed to have the basic foundations of family & love but we rarely stop to even think about that. At minimum support Pastor Sasha's team and efforts by donating to them to keep them able to do what they are doing. If you can do more, then join them on one of their missions trips to Ukraine this summer. If you can do even more, then adopt...These special children are longing to be held and touched by a Mama & a Papa. You will be blessed and fulfilled like nothing else you have done in your life..

For more information on a missions trip or adoption or donating..contact: Dave Daulton at: Father's Heart, Inc.

... It took only 4 days...

It's amazing how our lives are arranged. On that note, in which we are now able, and when we think about Japan and what is happening there:

People lived and did not expect this magnitude of a destruction. They were accustomed to earthquakes, but not such a tsunami this size...
It came very suddenly, like a thief coming into the house without warning.
Kolosalnye, the destruction of one wave,this terrible video, photos, and eyewitness accounts, all of this affects all of us.
All of us begin to fear for ourselves,and we analyze possible scenarios in this region.
Some of us may are beginning to think Chernobl, 11 September in the U.S., Thailand, Haiti, while we don't forget other similar events in the world.
On day 3, the wave goes, seen the destruction on the ocean in one place is more than 2000 dead Japanese, and all begin to analyze how many died, how much is destroyed, where people will live, how much it all costs, who will pay the insurance companies, WHO WILL IT just overcome, how people will live in this region?
Agree that we are all week thinking about these issues:

And if today,A Repeat EARTHQUAKE COMES TO JAPAN , AND THE NEXT WAVE will come, and maybe even more? "
JAPAN MAY BE GENERALLY WILL BE UNICHNOZHENA and lifeless?
What we have not sighted, uzkomyslyaschie! Why not, why not today or tomorrow, can not strike again?

Pastor Sasha writes....

I want us all to look closely at the photo above, and analyze the choice of God.

But before you read and hearken to the word of God said to ancient prophet Jeremiah, who just gave the word of God, His attitude toward people and their presence on Earth.

Surprisingly, it is striking to realize how much it concerns the Japanese nation.

I believe that the Ukrainians are no less sinful than the Japanese, that this should happen to the world that in the end will be inevitable!

No Lord draws the attention of the world saying, as I understand it is very quiet, but strong: "You forgot the Armenian earthquake? Did you forget Chernobyl? You have so soon forgotten Haiti? I remind you all over Japan! Let's see what it will lead you to carefully look! "

Listen, get a grasp of the words of the Lord:

The word that came from ... the Lord:

Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.


And I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

And the vessel that the potter made of clay was marred in his hand;

and again he made him another vessel, as occurred to the potter to make.


And the word of the Lord came to me:

I can not I do with you ... as this potter? saith the Lord.

Here, the clay in the potter's hand, then you are in my hand ...


Sometimes I'll tell you about any nation, and kingdom, to pluck up, and destroy it, but if that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do it.


And sometimes, I shall speak concerning a nation, and kingdom, to build and to plant it;

but if it do evil in my sight and obey not my voice, I may repent of the good, which would

Tsunami Japan March 2011

Mankind is playing with Fire...By Pastor Aleksander Skrypak

Before you watch this video, please read the words below!

What happened in Japan 11 March 2011 is all a little illustration of what awaits mankind everywhere and maybe even in our generation.

Mankind has forgotten about who man is and Who is God!

Millions of hours and billions of money spent on it to prove that there is no God but He was and is and is coming!

Rebellion against God the world is playing with fire and finish badly in the end got an abundance of fire!

My call to all believers:
Do not save the planet and the environment, our world is like a burning house, from which it is possible to save at least some of the soul from the eternal, all-consuming flames of hell! Rescue people, run to him!


Bring them to God's words:

For if we have received the knowledge of truth, sin willfully after, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of the court and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
(Evr.10: 26,27)
In your uncleanness such an abomination that, as I have purged thee, and thou unclean;
from your filth you and will never be made clean, until my wrath, I do not thickening over you.
I am the Lord, I say:
it comes and I'll do, do not cancel and do not spare, nor have mercy.
According to thy ways and thy deeds will judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
(Iez.24: 13,14)

Message from Pastor Sasha!

I am a happy pastor and leader of the home team! You ask why?

When the church leaves two pastors to be on the conference and gain a foothold in the spiritual life, at which time the local church continues to liveand do ministry. It took the church meeting on Sunday, sounded a sermon, it was worship and fellowship.



My home group met without me, it held a brother with whom I am engaged indiscipleship.

They even recorded a video greeting and send to me from the Ukraine in the USA!



It's a real pastoral happiness!

FEED MY SHEEP An Easter Resurrection story

The fishing boat is bobbing gently on the lake, a hundred yards offshore. Occasionally a wave slaps against its side though the lake is surprisingly still this morning.

Though it is very early, the six fishermen in the boat are stripped for work, the gleam of sweat on their backs just visible in the glow of dawn. All night they have put out their net, then pulled it in again, time after time. Time after time. They labor all night to earn a living. But not this night. This night they haven't netted a single fish.

Dawn is upon them now, the sun just breaking above the hills east of Galilee. Their hopes of fish to sell are gone with the night. Maybe they should try another net or two before they quit. Maybe they'll be lucky.

On shore, the sleepy village of Capernaum is beginning to stir. On its rocky beach the fishermen can see the glow of a small fire. Occasionally a breeze brings them the aroma of fish cooking. Peter's stomach remembers its hunger, and his mouth can almost taste the savory fish.

Who's tending the fire? It's a man. Peter can see that much. He looks familiar, but Peter can't place him.

Now the man brings up his hands and cups them about his mouth. A moment later his voice reaches the boat:

"Boys," he shouts. "Put your nets out on the right side of the boat and you'll find some...."

"Every landlubber thinks he's an expert fisherman!" fumes Peter. But they are ready to put out the net again. Why not the right side this time? What do they have to lose?

All of a sudden the stillness of morning is broken by the writhing of trapped fish and a tremendous tug on the net that, for a moment, threatens to capsize the boat. The men are instantly alert and position themselves to pull in the thrashing net. They must have caught a whole school of fish -- on the right side of the boat!

Peter looks up from his exertion to the man on the shore. John, too, is straining to see him. "It's the Lord!" shouts John. "It's Jesus!"

The others are struggling with the net, but Peter doesn't care. He grabs his clothes, dives into the lake, and swims with powerful strokes until the water is shallow enough for him to run splashing the rest of the way.

Dripping, he drops to his knees before Jesus -- the risen Lord, the man he has spent three years following, emulating, serving.

"Bring some more fish," says Jesus. So Peter runs to the boat, now nearly ashore, and helps haul in the net. They count 153 fish! Amazing!

Jesus calls to the men -- disciples with whom he has shared many meals. "Come, have some breakfast!"

They squat around the fire and wolf down the bread and the fish Jesus has prepared. Hot fish! Hot bread after a long night's work!

Fish and bread. Bread and fish. Why does this seem so familiar? Peter wonders. And then he recalls the day when, only a mile or two from here, Jesus had fed the 5,000 with five barley loaves and two fish. Peter and these very men had carried basket after basket of fish and bread to the crowd until all were full.

Jesus, the great Feeder of men is feeding them again this morning.

Now Jesus calls him aside. "Do you love me Peter?"

With pain, Peter remembers how three times he had vehemently denied Jesus just before his crucifixion. He can hardly look Jesus in the eye. He mumbles, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."

"Peter, feed my sheep," says Jesus. Three times Jesus asked Peter to reaffirm his love -- once for each time Peter had denied him. Three times Jesus reaffirms Peter's call to ministry. Jesus not only forgives Peter, he restores him fully to his confidence.

Years ago, Jesus had told Peter and his colleagues, "I will make you fishers of men." Sure enough -- together they had ministered to many thousands of men and women, boys and girls on what amounted to a three-year spiritual fishing expedition.

"Feed my sheep."

Not physical food. Jesus is talking about spiritual food -- teaching, praying, leading, exhorting, serving. Jesus is asking for Peter's love, but with that love, obedience too.

Peter knows what he's saying. Jesus had once described the crowds as harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

"Yes, I love you, Jesus," says Peter clearly, lifting his eyes to meet the Master's.

"Then feed my sheep," says the great Feeder of men. "Peter, I need you to feed my sheep for me."

"Yes, Lord, of course I will," whispers Peter, as his eyes flood with tears. "You can count on me."

Vorzel Orphanage (Kitchen) The kind of work Almaz orphan outreach does in Ukraine

Pastors Conference In California

Pastor Sasha & Pastor Nick are in California this week for the Shepherds Conference with
John Mac Arther. How exciting is this? Very...John Mac Arther is one of the best teachers, preachers and speakers of our time. This is an awesome place for Preachers to go and learn and fellowship with other Pastors and re group. They are amongst like minded men seeking out God's teachings for their life and the lives of their congregations. To keep their sheep from going astray and preach the truths of Jesus our Savior.

2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth. (NAS)

2 Timothy 4:1-5 I solemnly charge you…preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. (NAS)




The Shepherds' Conference is an association (not a denomination) of churches rallying around the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, the importance of expository preaching, and the centrality of a biblical philosophy of ministry. The conference serves as both a resource and an encouragement for pastors and Christian leaders around the globe.

A Resource
God in His goodness has blessed Grace Community Church with a wide variety of affiliated ministries (such as Grace To You, The Master's College and Seminary, Grace Books International, and Logos Bible Institute). By working together with these ministries, the Shepherds' Conference can offer participating churches a vast assortment of ministry resources. In fact, because the potential is almost limitless, we are continually adding benefits to our resource list.

An Encouragement
Beyond providing resources, SC seeks to cultivate camaraderie among its members at both a national and global level. This goal will be accomplished in several ways. For example, our website features both an internet discussion forum (in which pastors can instantly communicate with other like-minded leaders) and an online classifieds section (allowing churches to list job openings, ministry needs, and prayer requests for free). Devotionals for personal encouragement, practical articles for pastoral ministry, contact information for other Shepherds' Conference website members, and a united commitment to the truth-each is a vital component of our spiritual support network. By joining the Shepherds' Conference, churches are encouraged to find that they are not alone.

A Movement
To be a resource and an encouragement-that truly is the heart behind the Shepherds' Conference. Our desire is not to build our own kingdom, produce Grace Community clones, or start our own denomination. Rather, SC's goal is to stand for the truth of God's Word by partnering with other biblically-minded churches for the glory of Christ. Thus, in the midst of postmodern confusion, we hope to ignite a movement among Christian leaders back to biblical absolutes.

After the conference the Pastors will fly up to Virginia to visit with David Daulton and his team & church. Dave Daulton represents Father's Heart Inc. There, Pastor Sasha will explain what he does with orphan outreach all around Ukraine. Hopefully his wife Olya & Baby can join them.

Conference on the Holy Spirit, its essence and action "

"Святой Дух, его сущность и действия"

A conference dedicated to the personality of the Holy Spirit took place in the church "Almaz"

On February, 26 the «Almaz» Church of Evangelical Christians in Kiev held the conference on the topic «The Holy Spirit, His nature and actions», which brought together 280 people from different cities of Ukraine in order to study God’s Word nearly. This was a record number of participants among previous conferences of «Almaz» church, which indicates on the one hand that many Christians today are interested in biblical teaching about the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, a tendency to increase the number of participants also shows the longing to study God’s Word and know the truth. And it’s certainly cause for celebration.

Conference about «the Holy Spirit, His nature and actions» took place in the course of «Pneumatology» of «Almaz» Church Bible School. Throughout the day, the pastor-teacher of the Church Nikolay Skopych reviewed in detail the biblical teaching about the personality and divinity of the Holy Spirit, his actions and manifestations in the Old and New Testaments. Considering many serious perversions of biblical teaching on this subject in the contemporary Christian world, pastor Nikolay also spoke in detail on important issues such as baptism in the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit and His role in the revival of man. He noted that a proper understanding of the Third Person of the Trinity and His influence is extremely important for a successful spiritual life as for the individual Christian and the whole church. And all sorts of deviations from the truth of Scripture in this matter could lead to the collapse of Christian spiritual life.

The study of the personality of the Holy Spirit is not limited to this conference, but it will be continued at the regular session of the «Almaz» Church Bible school, to be held in April and will focus on the Holy Spirit in

Christian life.
