Dear Brothers Lonni, Jeff, Jim, Jason, Eugene, Berry, Harold, Gerd, Markus,

Heartily greeting in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Now I am at home after 3 weeks trip to Armenia and want to share with you about that.

This time with me was Armenian brother Sejran from Donetsk church. In the capital city, Erevan, his relatives are Pastors and elders in Pentecostal churches. Before he is already spoke to them about the Message and they got many questions. He left them questions till the coming of any minister, in hope that they have a quick interest. On the next day after flying to Erevan we met with one of the pastors. We have a good evening in fellowship. On the next day we visited his church and was so impressed that nobody came to us, we just was sitting as a strangers people. It’s because their bishop forbid a fellowship with us. All doors was closed. And we both together with brother Sejran just was praying and wait on God.

In Erevan now living our brother Armen from our church. He went there 4 years ago to get a passport and he was stopped there to pay a state penalty 4100USD because he doesn’t was a soldier in army. I was persuaded to help him to see his family rebuilt (his wife and children are in Grodno). Last time trip a family of his blood brother Artak was interested in the Message. And we came to them (near Sevan lake) to visit them ago.

About 10-15km aside from a big road is a tawn Charencawan. Bro. Sejran remembered that in that town is a church where one of Christian singers is, through his song service many Armenian received Christ. We haven’t any address, no church name. On the outside of that town suddenly brother Sejran stopped a car, that was coming in front to us. In that car was a driver, a blood brother of that singer. His name is a bro. Gnal and he is also now a pastor of that church. Then he testified to us, that at first time he was driving by that road where we met, all the time he using another, good road from the other side of town. He invited us to his church, after small conversation in his house. And allowed to minister 2 times.

Then he introduced us to next 4 pastors the same types of churches. One of them pastors invited to speak in his church in town Uhtemuran. Again was 2 sermons and one private met with a pastor, brother Hachik.

Their churches (so called “free Armenian churches”). They came out from Pentecostal but not joined to Charizmatic movement, to avoid be depend from them bishop-system. According their spirit they are like to Charizmatic churches, but they have less of psychology and a more sincere in fellowship and services. Rather emotional people. I came to them from them side, respecting their order and traditions, going onto their spiritual level. This time I don’t spoke openly about the Prophet and the Message, but was speaking the Message. Of course, they know nothing about the Rapture and time where we are living in. Such a subject like family, God’s will was received quickened and with “amen” to the Word. We left them in good relationship and I believe that God’s elected already recognized the Vice of God. What we’ll get after that – I don’t know, but think that through a little time we should visit them again. Maybe October, November, if God’s will. During that trip we have a baptism service to 4 person: son in law of bro. Sejran and 3 sisters. One sister from Uhtemburan and 2 from Sevan.

In that time I knew more about their nation. Men’s names have a lot of Abraham, Jacob, Samuel. Women are very obedient to their husbands. They have strong families. Not so openly showed a fall of women, but, at the same time, the nation is falling dawn. You can see it in men’s dress on women, even in church. Women – preachers, make-up, etc. And everywhere is a speaking in tongues as a proving of Holy Spirit. 3 Gods in Godhead and baptism. But those pastors are sincere praying together with their churches about revival in their nation. May God help them in that. God Himself, that true Revival of Armenian Bride wil come into their country. I think that we must help them by our prayers. Next 2 sermons was in assirijsk church. They are under influence of bro. E.Frank. I was surprised that they knows nothing about justification, sanctification, and the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and adoption. Although in their church translated several sermons of the Prophet and they have a lot of Mission Alerts from bro. Frank. On that time their pastor, bro.Mitush, his family and people in church was careful to sermon got many questions in conversation after that. Relationships with them was good.

It’s just main things, trying to write in details – will be too much.

I am thankful to the Lord fro His blessings and heartily thanks for prayer help during trip to Armenia. Thanks a lot to bro. Gerd who helped in buying tickets.

With love and may God bless you, Brother Anatoly.
