New Ministry in St. Petersburg
Galenin Institute of
Technology (GIT), located at north St. Petersburgh, has the largest number of
Chinese students (over 1,000) in St. Petersburg. It is a potential field for evangelism. It
may become the base for church planting in the northern district. Under God's
guidance, the St. Petersburg Church set up the "GIT Team" and plans to start an
independent fellowship meeting near the dormitory in 2019 to evangelize the
students. Currently, the co-workers are actively praying for the venue and the
necessary funding. The estimated amount of funding needed included rental,
equipment, & ministry cost, is USD$10,000. Please pray for this new
ministry: ask God to bless and use this ministry to win more young people! For
contribution checks, please write: FECA, Memo: St. Petersburg GIT ministry.
Checks can be placed in the donation bags on Sundays, or mailed to: FECA
office, address: 2617 W. Beverly Blvd., Montebello, CA 90640.
