Helping a young believer grow.
Reyansh came to the Center about a month ago after his friend told him of a library with English books. Reyansh is an international student from India at the National Medical University, next to the UEC. As soon as the classes are over, Reyansh now comes to the Center virtually every day. He visits with staff, comes to our activities and helps with anything he can. Reyansh is a new convert to Christianity. He comes from a Communist home that denied the existence of God. He lost his father at a young age. His mother and uncle are working very hard to enable him to study here and hopefully have a better life than they have.
To help him a little, we bought food for him, shared meals and snacks with him. As any young man, Reyansh has his struggles as he is growing in his relationship with God. We've been able to counsel Reyansh, encourage him in his faith, sharing verses from the Bible. Vitaly started having discipleship meetings with him to help him mature and equip Reyansh for ministry in God's Kingdom.
