The three out of every four Russians who struggle with alcohol or drug addiction — or have a family member who does — need hope. Some are finding it in Jesus Christ.

Russian Baptists have opened 80 rehabilitation centers over the past 10 years to help addicts. The home- or apartment-based centers typically house eight to 10 people. They receive practical help and encouragement along with the hope of new life in Christ.

About half of the recent church growth in one part of Siberia “has come from people in recovery or related to recovery,” reports IMB missionary Andy Leininger. “We are seeing God at work in some powerful ways and want to reach the millions in Russia that are slaves to addiction.”

Pray this week for Marc and Pastor Alan Floyd (First Baptist Church of Middleburg, Florida) as they travel more than 4,000 miles through Siberia. Pray for their safety, language abilities, and for God-ordained encounters with national believers and non-believers alike. Pray that their work would be productive. Pray for their families as they continue their daily routines. Pray that God would continue to be glorified through the Engage Russia project.

Pray also this week for Tim Wicker and his family as they continue to re-establish themselves in America. Pray specifically this week for Tim as he attends job interviews.

Tour of Siberian Cities

The Engage Russia team will be “in the field” from May 14-22 working on features about three Siberian cities. Krasnoyarsk, Omk and Chelyabinsk will be the focus of this set of features. As usual, our goal will be to investigate how Stateside churches can partner with national believers in these areas to form ministry/missions partnerships.

During the week we will also make stops in Novosibirsk to visit missionary colleagues. And, we will spend time in Izhevsk and Cheboksary to visit with national believers in these two key cities were partnerships are beginning to blossom.

PODCAST EPISODES MODIFIED FOR iPOD AND iPHONE

If you have subscribed to the Engage Russia Podcast you may have noticed that five “new” episodes were downloaded to your computer this past week. The Engage Russia introduction video as well as the entire Chuvash series have recently been re-encoded to allow these videos to be played on your iPod and iPhone. Due to a glitch in the formatting, earlier versions of these videos could be played on your computer through iTunes, but would not be transferred to your mobile devices. To save on hard drive space, you may want to go back into your podcast directory and delete the older versions of the videos.

It is our prayer that you will use this tool to share Engage Russia with your family, friends and church groups. New episodes are currently in production and are scheduled to be released in May. If you have questions about how you can use the Engage Russia campaign please contact us at TellMeMore@EngageRussia.org.
