PRAYER REQUEST
Thank you for praying for Micaiah Ministries and the work of Restoration House!
 
Would you please pray specifically this month for Ilya?
Ilya Brodetskiy began running away in 1997 after his mother Marina died. He doesn't know the exact reason of her death saying that she either died of drinking vodka or his dad killed her.  Olga says that he is a very kind, attentive, obedient and dutiful boy. He wants changes in his life and he tries hard to do that.
  • Pray that God will take what Satan has meant for evil and turn it to good.
  • Pray that his heart and mind are free from the hurts of the past.
  • Pray that he continues to grow in passion for Christ and in the knowledge of the Word of God.
  • Pray that he becomes an example of the believer for the other young people that come to Restoration House.
  • Pray for him to continue to feel a sense of love and belonging in the new family that God has given him.
  • Pray for the staff as they minister to him in love and that he will keep his heart open and receptive.

More than one hundred Pastors and leaders from 13 churches attended the 7th Annual Micaiah Ministries Leadership Conference in Saint Petersburg, Russia.  Baptists, Pentecostals, Charismatics and Independents all came together for fellowship, teaching and ministry.  Your gifts made it possible to provide the conference, meals, hotels and gifts.  Gifts included jewelry for the ladies, the publishing of Pastor Steve Millinder's books "Crowd or Movement?" and drug, alcohol, HIV and smoking awareness tools to be used in schools.  Thank you to each of partners who make all the work of Micaiah Ministries possible!
 
 
 Gatchina Youth Event!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Saturday, September 27 Micaiah Ministries sponsored a Soccer Playoff and Family Day for an organization called "Family Center."  Six teams participated in the playoffs including a team from Restoration House (our boys are in the yellow tee shirts).  Stephanie Epp from the Tulsa Ballet, the drama team and music team from New generation Church all performed at the event.  Ryan Graham, youth pastor from The Light House Evangelical Church in West Decatur, PA was the speaker.  His topic was "Family and the Bible"- Relationships with God - The importance of being concerned not only of yourself but of your family.
 
The local administration was very pleased with the event and has asked that two similar events be held in 2009.  New Generation Church has already experienced numerical growth from the event and more exposure to the people of Gatchina.

"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much I had in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like.  But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child."
--Dr. Forest E. Witcraft
 
 
 
Less Vulnerable to Enemy Attacks
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
 
John 16:33 tells us that in the world you will have tribulation – troubles – obstacles – that will try to slow you down.I heard a preacher say, “If you want the devil to quit bothering you, let me lay hands on you and pray for you…that you die and go to Heaven.” We need to understand that the only way the devil will quit bothering us is when we get to Heaven. As long as you and I are on this earth, the enemy will try to come against us, just as he did Jesus.

Restoration House not only ministers to the street kids who have come to live in the home, but also to those on the street and those who are in crisis still remaining at home.
 
We have recently teamed up with the city of Gatchina, a town located nearby Nikolskoe, the village where our home is. For several years they have offered a summer work program for children at risk, in order to keep them off the streets and from being sucked into that lifestyle.
 
Alexander told us that until now, they had only about two or three participants each week. After our visit in March, they asked us to team up with them in order for them to provide meals, snacks and “life lessons.” At last report, there were nearly two hundred participants now in the program.
 
One young man who was participating seemed to struggle to keep up with the team as they walked from place to place. Alexander was constantly encouraging him “keep up.” One young lady pointed out to him that it was impossible for him because of his shoes. Alexander noticed that he wore his pants very long down over his shoes so that no one would see that his shoes were so bad that they had to be held together with wire. This made it very uncomfortable and even painful for him to walk.
 
The first things they did when the city paid them for cleaning streets, sidewalks and parks, was to buy this young man a pair of shoes. Although his parents would not or could not provide for him, God is making provision. He was attracted to the work program because the partners of this ministry offered to provide the snacks and meals each week.
 
You truly are making a difference in the lives of hurting people!

Crowd or Movement...What Are You A Part Of?

by Steve Millinder 
 

   

A "Movement" can be defined as a series of action advancing a principle. As Believers, our goal is to advance the Kingdom of God. What actions are you taking to advance the Kingdome of God?
 
Many ministers have the idea, “If I preach, they will come.” Parishioners think, “If we pray, they will come.” Both are necessary elements in doing anything significant for Jesus, but there is more. Pastor Steve Millinder has a heart for seeing lives transformed, churches walking in more of the power of God and entire communities changed. As you read this book, I believe you will no longer be satisfied to be part of the “Crowd,” instead, get ready to be part of a “Movement.”
