Valera, Natasha and Angelina. They have just celebrated 5 years of their married life. God saved Valera when he was deep down in sin working as a head of a strip bar. He was the first one in his whole family to believe in Christ. Natasha was raised in a Christian family but only in Almaz she was able to find a joyful life in Jesus. Today they both serve children in Almaz Sunday school.











Sasha and Julianna. They got married in 2010. Five years ago a person from Almaz brought a depressed young man to church service. Sasha used to live deep down in depression constantly thinking of suicide. He had no desire for the reality. He spent more then 10 years in his room hardly ever going out. Some of his schoolmates became believers and joined Almaz. They brought Sasha to Almaz. He heard the Gospel and grasped the idea of the true sense of life. Both Sasha and Julinna are the first in their families to accept Christ. Today Sasha is leading worship in Almaz and coordinating the ministry of worship group of 16 people.









Pasha, Ira and Georgiy. They got married 3 years ago. Both Pasha and Ira were the first ones in their famlies to come to Christ. Unfortunately no one in their families believes in Jesus. But all their relatives have to admit that Christ changes lives when they see the changes in Pasha and Ira. Today these young people serve as coordinators for Childrens' ministry that Almaz started in 2010.









Today Dima and Tanya go through premarital counseling with Sasha. They are so exited and amazed to see that Bible is very clear and practical about marriage, about the roles of a husband and a wife. They cannot wait to get married but they highly esteem the counseling they are getting and want to finish it first.
