Dear Wes and Donna, my trip back to Russia went well. Spending time with you was very refreshing and my confidence is increased in God's love and calling on my life. Your meetings were the best church meetings that I have been a part of in 13 years. Fact is I received more then I did from Benny Hinn, Peter Yunggren, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland combined, when they came. Thanks for your friendships, giving, encouragement, and your testimonies. It is fun to be with you all.

We had an exiting week together. Our hearts were crying for BREAKTHROUGH and a breakthrough came. Praise the Lord. We see so many changes in the lives of the people around us. We see changes in attitudes, changes in faces, changes in utterances. We see hunger of more. We already hungered before you came and the hunger is growing all the time. We want to see this nation changed.And it starts from us. Also we see the ability to receive growing. You came to give us Jesus and Jesus we received. We are amazed about the love and the new family we received through you. You came to lift us up and you made us see what we are in Christ. There was an easiness and peace in all. We also were challenged and got our vision strengthened to be all Christ has called us to be as individuals,as a part of the body and as Kingsway Church. One person that had personal problems and was not attending meetings regularly is now back 100% and full of joy. Many new have said they will start to attend our meetings because of the liberty in the Spirit. Many of us had through the years experienced the power and joy, but this time LOVE was first.

I`m the "catcher" boy who got really saturated in the meeting. I got really touched I couldn't get up by myself. . .The carrying wasn't easy cause my friend got saturated too as he carried me to their car. I fell also outside, but it was good that I had a big sports bag that I was carrying and I fell over that and not in the snow. I just couldn't stop praising God almost lost my voice, but still couldn't stop praising. Never felt God`s fire that overwhelming in me, it was awesome. I`ve just been so hungry to God and he filled me the way I needed. I believe youngsters need more the spirit, to get more saturated with it. I believe there is more if we want it!! Same time the peace of Jesus is true thing overwhelming. Hallelujah! I really love what Jesus do and how He uses your ministry. Hope to see u guys again someday!

I did not know what to expect, but I wanted all that I could get, be it easy or hard. When I got married my goals were to graduate high school and to have family. During the years my goals have changed. Now my goal and desire is God, my dear God who is more precious for me now than ever. And I want all He has for me. All. He is the goal, He is the purpose and He is the Source of Life and abundance to my soul.

I had found myself so bound and stuck in myself. I needed God to meet me in powerful and radical ways that I would be changed deeply. I needed Him to set me free from my own soul and wounds etc. I believe that did happen.

I have been quite inward person and there has been shame etc. especially when thinking about testifying for unbelievers. After those meetings I found a new freedom in my heart. When I went to food market I had a desire to give that "life insurance card" to the lady at the cashier, but I did not. But, next day in another shop, then I gave it to the lady at the cashier. And I felt Jesus supporting me strongly and the anointing and easiness and joy to do that. It was wonderful. He was there for me to help me to do it. It really is not natural for me to testify in the streets or shops.

Something else that those meetings meant for me. I have never been so saturated in the Holy Spirit. Those five days were really intensive, I did spin on my feet and on the floor and Holy Spirit was touching and filling me all the time more and more, meeting after meeting. And He has been visiting and touching and filling me again and again in this week after the meetings. I have drunk at home, at work and in the car. He keeps on coming to me!

And there is such a deep hunger and thirst for Him in my heart. I want Him never to stop visiting and touching and filling me. Never, never, never!!! There is a new realm of life and freedom with Him in my life and I want never lose it. I keep saying to Him that don't You ever leave me, don't You ever forsake me, never leave me the same I was, I need You more than ever, I hunger You more than ever, I thirst for You more than ever, I long for You, You are my deepest longing, You are my hearts desire. I have a hunger for a deeper relationship with Him, stronger, more powerful and more real. I long for a real breakthrough, more of Him in my life. He living more in me, through me.

Maybe the meaning of those meetings and of what God did in me and to me could be said in one sentence "Never the same again". And that is really what I want. Never the same again. Never in those same bondages, fears and lies again. He is the God who changes lives and I truly want mine to be changed forever to His glory. He is the one who can set free and He is the Healer of hearts and the Great Restorer.
