"Your programs are exactly what we need here in St. Petersburg: they are Christ-centered, easy to understand, yet engaging. My family and I try to listen every day. I also recommend your programs to my non-Christian friends."

Anatoly writes:

"I recently discovered your programs and am very interested at what you have to say. I consider myself a true Russian patriot, and am pro-Orthodox. Yet your programs are not about a particular church, they are very personal."

Would you help us bring many to Christ in St. Petersburg? Help us break the blockade of evil forces that the enemy has built around this city, which historically has been resistant to the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Alexander writes:

"I was born and live in a small village. Growing up, I never heard about God. Later, as a teenager, I learned about Him from my great grandmother, even though I didn't understand much at that time. However, I began to pray regularly to God, and my life began to change. Eventually, I became a successful young man. I got married, and had a good family. Years passed by, and then the crises hit: I lost all my money. Along with it I lost my friends and family; and even my parents didn't help me. I thought I was losing my mind.

Then I discovered FEBC radio. I began listening every night, and slowly my life was becoming normal again. Today I am beginning to trust people again, even though it is a difficult process. The most important development in me, though, is that I can trust the Lord. I am building on that. Thank you for all your help. I suspect there are thousands of people like me whose lives were transformed by your programs."

Alexandr Gennadievich writes:

"I live in Uzbekistan. When I listened to your programs on occults, I was shocked: someone knows exactly what I am going through! I am one of the millions of people who got involved in occult practices during the early nineties. How foolish I was! Now I am bound by the evil. I have a New Testament, but cannot read it; it's too painful. I don't have enough will power to pray. I am going through hell. I am afraid of God. To be honest with you, your series on freedom from occult made me suffer even more; I used to feel hopeless, and now I want that freedom. I cried in my helplessness. Even my young daughters are in this bondage. Please pray for me."

Slavik writes:

"I have been your regular listener since 1993. Because of your programs I believed in the existence of God and later began to know Him in more personal ways. Later I accepted Christ and became a member of a local church. I would probably have never written to you, though, but today I have a request. I heard a program about the end times, and it affected me tremendously. Could you send me a cassette copy? Thank you for your life-changing ministry."

Nina writes:

"I have accepted Jesus only recently. Now I listen to your programs about the occult and discover where my problems are rooted. Before becoming a Christian, I used to believe occult teachings and practiced them. Because of that, sometimes I have very difficult periods when depression overwhelms me. My husband Victor is in even a more difficult position; he has not accepted Christ. Pray that God would free him from the powers of evil. When I listen to your sermons on freedom from occult I feel that you speak from experience. Simply listening to your sermons is tremendously liberating. I ask you to please pray for me and my husband."
