A nice year end report from Valeriy Trenogin in Perm, Russia.
Peace to you dear friends!
So the year 2010 is finished. It was successful year for us. Total
amount of people who were rehabilitated through “The most excellent
way” program is 1499 (since 2000 till now); 765 of them are fully
recovered and quitted their addiction completely. 246 people started
families and 158 children were born. Through all 4 churches of “Light
of the truth” we gathered 97 people who were baptized last year.
Our church has united and became stronger, new leader have grown. So now
we can develop such projects that we couldn’t even dream of in the
past. Last year we put all our efforts in two big projects that will
help us to train church leaders in the future: building of the
training center near rehab and basement premise in the center of the
city. Thank God, both of these projects are exploited now. As far as
we started to use our training center we have an opportunity to spend
summer and winter children’ camp, hold seminars, training courses and
church picnics there. This year we want to build a hall for 60-70
people, kitchen and toilets next to the main building. This project
will be number one priority in 2011.
We also have the basement premise in the center of the city. We can hold seminars, meetings and other
church events there. Though we haven’t finished this project yet but
we hope to improve it and to finish it finally. Our main task is to
develop the process of training church people using all that premises
we have.
We have started to gather money for buying our own church
building this year.
Though we were more focused on our inner problems
last year we kept on opening of new churches and rehabs. Last year we
sent 17 people from Perm to open two new rehabs in Vladimir and
Moscow.Now both of these rehabs are very successful.
Together with brother Winston Mattsson-Boze we held wonderful seminar on Gospel of
Luke last year.
Thanks to the help of our friends from Holland we have
held wonderful autumn conference together with brother Winston Lynch.
Not less than 100 new people have come there and 42 of them have
repented of their sins.
And again thanks to our friends from Holland
we received the machine for color prints for our print shop. It
allowed our print shop to work even more effectively. Our new project
of greenhouse also develops. We improved heating system and bought new
boiler last year. Now we sell new crop of onions. We’ll see what
results we will have this year.
We also have sent Dimitry Dudin (he is the member of our church council) for training to the Bible Institute.
I personally started to study magistrates program “Leadership and
Management” in order to be more effective in my ministry.
This year we will continue to put into our leaders’ education and may be even open
new branch of our church in Perm next year.
Thank you dear friends for your help and your prayers.
May God bless you all abundantly.
With gratitude, pastor of “The light of the truth” church –
Valery Trenogin.
