New Ministry in St. Petersburg

Galenin Institute of Technology (GIT) has the largest number of Chinese students (over 1,000) in St. Petersburg.  It is a potential field in the northern district for evangelism.  Under God's guidance, the St. Petersburg Church set up the "GIT Team" and plans to start an independent fellowship meeting near the dormitory in 2019 to evangelize the students. Currently, the co-workers are actively praying for the venue and the necessary funding. The estimated amount of funding needed included rental, equipment, & ministry cost, is USD$10,000. Please pray for this new ministry: ask God to bless and use this ministry to win more young people! For contribution checks, please write: FECA, Memo: St. Petersburg GIT ministry.
