DISQUS

Oleg Gundorin · 11 months ago

Thank You pastor for the encouraging blog you posted from your sermon on the "Qualities of a growing church/Leadership". You posted it nearly 3 years ago. And God used it to speak to me. It doesn't matter how many people you have in your church what matters is if they are really christians. Narrow is the path that leads to life. Not many find it, even though sitting in church their whole life. Even those that know the bible from cover to cover, like the Pharisees, they studied His word but in the end they where the ones that crucified Him. Thank You
I'm a youth leader hear in Aheville NC of a Russian church.
And when i give God the leadership great things happen, and when i try to do them myself i fail.

Oleg, so great to have you here and I appreciate your comments. I went to Russia about a year ago and fell in love with the people and the culture - part of my heart was left there. I have a good friend, Alexander Chepurnoy, who is planting a Russian congregation in Minnesota, and also Fiodor Baraniuk who lives in northern Mississippi who coordinates all Russian church planting in the US in our denomination. They'd be worth looking up - great and godly men. God bless you as you minister in Asheville!
