Friends, keep our family in prayer!



Working the last few days is very hard and productively, with big plans for the next few days got a call today from my wife, and learned that my eldest daughter Lisa had fallen in the street while walking and broke her nose.



Visiting the doctor she was scheduled for surgery tomorrow and the next 3-5 days I should spend in the hospital with Lisa.



Please pray for our family that this situation brought us closer to God, to better understand His plan for us to trust him more than ever before!



Pray for my pastor, because in the next few days, so much would have to happen!



Sasha

Healthy Church ~ Healthy Families

For 9 years Pastor Sasha has been serving families providing premarital counceling. When Almaz Church first started in 2000 it had only 4 families. Today there are more than 30 married couples. 22 of them were married by pastors in Almaz.

These are the pictures of some of them.

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.

1 Peter 4:10-11

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?
Who among us asked:


A Who's next?
