Ministers in Russia
CHANGED LIVES!
We Must Be About Our Father’s Business
“As long as it is day, we must do the work. . . Night is coming when no one can work.”
–John 9:4
Ministering love and hope in the city of Tver, Russia, Rick Gage and a team of GO TELL volunteers were used of God to led 160 precious Russian people to the Lord. Over 1,300 Bible, Christian books, and Gospel bracelets were distributed along with 500 pounds of aid and medical supplies. Seven churches were encouraged and given hope.
This was Ron Jessup’s fourteenth year traveling with GO TELL’S mission teams. “The Lord led us to a difficult area,” says Ron. “We were the first American missionaries many of the Tver residents had ever seen. Most had never heard of Jesus or knew that He loved them and died for them. The Lord gave us a great ministry opportunity in this unevangelized area.”
Mechelle Bryant spoke of her fifth trip to Russia with GO TELL, “God uses each trip to do a new work in my life as well as the people we minister to. God has laid on my heart a burden for the people in Russia. Each year He opens doors for us and we have to be willing to go through them and do the work He had called us to do. This year we were able to minister in orphanages, hospitals, culture centers, homes and churches. It's amazing how God pulls together a team from five different states who meet for the first time at the airport, and He uses us to make an eternal difference for HIM!"
“God was always with us in Russia,” says Bev Noe. “This was my second year, and I knew I was supposed to go. It wasn't about me. I had never before wanted to go to Russia, but when I saw the video clip of the children in the orphanages and realized the tremendous need, it brought tears to my eyes. It was not a convenient trip, but I knew it was an opportunity to be faithful to God. As we lived out the Great Commission, it was awesome. God was with us in a powerful way! I believe He used me and all the others to make a difference in the lives of people who are so hungry for Him—we connected; we cried together. I will never forget sharing the love of Christ, and I am so thankful!
“We are so very blessed to be able to serve with Rick Gage. He is a man of God who is totally focused on winning souls for Christ. Many decisions were made for Christ at every destination. His work with the pastors in Russia, his passion for sharing Christ and reaching people has opened many doors...in hospitals, schools, orphanages, senior homes, shelters, everywhere. There is such tremendous need. For God to use each of us as we shared our personal testimonies through interpreters was an experience of a lifetime. We came home from Russia forever changed, blessed beyond measure.”
Roger Green was thrilled to be able to preach in Russia. “The people were very receptive. They are a beautiful people who we saw transformed by the love of Christ. I believe our presence brought great encouragement to faithful pastors who labor in difficult circumstances with the Russian Orthodox Church that does not allow evangelism.”
Although just fifteen years old, Roxanne Squires was deeply impacted by the trip. “Flying to the other side of the world to share God’s love with others is life changing. The smiles on orphans’ faces and hugs from the elderly melted my heart. I can never be the same again. The Lord has definitely called me to the mission field for the rest of my life.”
“I was on a rough road for a while,” comments Ron Bayer. “How deeply thankful I am that the Lord was so good to allow me to go on this trip and work in His harvest fields. God works miracles. He has in my life and in the lives of those we touched and saw changed in Russia. You can’t go on a trip like this and not be changed.”
“I believe with all my heart that one day very soon we will stand before the Lord,” says evangelist Rick Gage, founder and president of GO TELL. “While I long for that day, God has entrusted us now with the tremendous responsibility and privilege of sharing the Gospel with a lost and dying world.
“We ministered and shared the Gospel with hundreds of children living in orphanages in Tver, Russia. With shortages of food, clothing, and medicines, these children are living in deplorable conditions with little hope. We showered them with God’s love as we ministered to their physical and spiritual needs. Tver is filled with people who have never heard a clear presentation of the Gospel. As long as God gives me strength, I will continue to take the life-changing message of Christ to a lost world. Our team comes back from every trip knowing they received far more than they gave.”
