Meet Pastor Svieta . . . church planter/missionary/pastor from Belarus who has lived in Buryatia for at least 12 years.
God has spoken to her over a period of time and through
various means about youth in this region and Russia in general.
One evening while teaching in Angarsk, I arrived for our nightly
tea time to find that Sasha (see Angarsk translator) was in deep
discussion with Svieta regarding youth ministry. We talked long
into the night, and Svieta knew this was the time to step out.
She and I have spent long hours together, strategizing, praying,
and finally traveling the region together to seek out where we
have youth, where there are potential leaders, what the heart
of the churches are, and what the keys to the community might be.
