Bits from the Branches
In Dnepropetrovsk, Sergei Koulakov reports, I last met with Dmitry G. in January, 1999. He believed in Jesus and wanted God to change his life, but was afraid to repent. Soon after, he was jailed on drug charges. Dmitry is now out of prison and I recently met with him. It seems he was so fearful that he would continue to sin after repenting that he considered it better to wait and turn to God when he felt strong enough to follow through. [Many people understand they need to repent, but somehow feel that they must be "good enough" to make it real.] This time, however, Dmitry trusted God and prayed the prayer of repentance. Please pray that God would strengthen Dmitry's faith and set him free from drug addiction. Please pray also for his health, as he is ill with tuberculosis."
