LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH IN RUSSIA.

 

On October the 24th we got an email labeled "URGENT" from the Head Bishop of the Russian Church of Christian Evangelicals, Edward Grabovenko.

It stated that a lawsuit had been filed against Pastor Vladimir Pak's Pentecostal church, accusing them of practicing prayers with the laying on of hands, healing prayers and speaking in tongues.

After hearing the case, the city of Khabarovsk regional court made a decision to shut down the church. That precedent could of possibly lead to shutting down the entire denomination, as other people against the .

As Edward wrote, "Even in Soviet times those kind of charges had not been brought against the church."

The underlying purpose of the suit was to initiate a banning of the Pentecostal Union's existance in Russia all together.

The court date was scheduled on October 25th, 2011. As word went out, people all of the world began to pray for God's hand to be upon the situation. 

Well I am so excited to tell you,

that we just got the report back from Pastor Edward, and the

SUPREME COURT RULED, IN FAVOR OF THE CHURCH!

Praise God!!!

We continue to see His faithfulness at work.

Thank you to all those who stood in agreement and prayer with us!!
