Dear sisters,

At the opening of the conference the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Moscow Sergey Zolotarevsky read the words from the book of Job: "How my heart yearns within me!" (Job 19: 27). He said: “Job suffered, but his heart was with the Lord. Are your hearts yearning for your Lord? Your prayers and your faithfulness support our brotherhood.
We express deep gratitude to Diana Kondratieva for her commitment to her ministry. She has experienced a lot of hardships. Bless her and continue to pray”.

The participants of the conference warmly thanked  Diana Kondratieva and the secretary Svetlana Svedlova for their faithful work.
