Sasha's familyThis morning we attended the Baptist Church.  Although I did not understand the words to the songs, the harmony and singing was beautiful.  After church, my interpreter had the privilege of visiting Sasha’s house for lunch. 

He is a Beliver with a heart for prison ministry.  As he told me 15 ½ years of his life he spent in prison for robbery and other crimes and also had a life with drugs.  However, it was in prison that He heard about Jesus Christ and became a Christian.  Now, it is with great joy and passion that he goes back into the same prison where he was to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

He has been married for a year and says he feels so blessed by God with his wife and 5 month old daughter.  He has a dream of one day owning his own house and using it as a center for those who have been released from prison.  Helping them to adjust, teaching them about Christ and giving them a place to stay until they are able to get out on their own.  He told me there is nothing in Krasnoyarsk currently like this for prisoners once they have been released.  He is praying that God will grant him this place.
