An Ex-Communist Russian Pastor




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: Oleg was a communist in Russia in 1992 when he heard the Good News of Jesus Christ. Oleg repented of his sins and gave his life to Jesus that day. Over the years, as Oleg openly lived out his faith, his wife, son, and daughter all gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Today, Oleg pastors a church of 200 people in Russia. Oleg wasn't planning on accepting Christ that day in 1992. But God was. The Lord had a plan to bring Oleg into His kingdom that day. God has a plan to reach the lost in your world too. In First Timothy it says that Christ "wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." This includes those who are not seeking God or expecting an encounter with Jesus Christ.I encourage you to remember that the Lord has a plan for those who have yet to give their lives to Him. And, YOU may be part of that plan. Today, be hopeful and expectant that Christ is working in your world and wants to partner with you to reach those around us with His love. Let's be people who prayerfully look for opportunities to share our faith, are obedient to His promptings, and lead many others to Jesus Christ.
