Church started by Vadim.
The church began 5 years ago. There were 3 people. It was cold and no one wanted to come. They went to a village and met a woman. She said she had a dream 3 Christians would be coming. They led the family to Christ and prayed for a boy who couldn’t walk. He felt burning in his legs and got up and walked. People heard of the miracle and brought them a blind woman. They prayed and she began to see a bit of light. She then said she could see her brother’s nose and eyes. They began the church with these people. After 5 years they have 150 people. The church has 35 missionaries going around to villages. The mother church gives each team (3-7 people) $100/month for living. The main goal is to start churches in towns where there is no church. They now have 60 services going in villages. Most of the services have 10 to 30 people attending. Many of these churches still look like small/home groups…but they say it is only a matter of time until the churches grow. They started in Bultava and will now begin moving into the 2 states above Bultava. They are moving their first family there this week.
