Studying the Apostle Paul\u2019s epistles, I saw, how he took care of communities; he visited them or sent other servants there. After that we got an idea to start the ministry which is called \u201cCarry the burdens of others\u201d. In 2014 the youth group from UMC \u201cUshtobe\u201d visited Pavlodar UMC, we were testifying about our faith through sincere service.<\/p>\n

In 2015 the team of 9 adults (servants) went to Pavlodar, there were 4 people \u2013 presbyters, 1 person \u2013 a pastor, 2 people- pastor\u2019s assistants, 2 people \u2013 leaders of the worship team. One of the presbyters was Oleg Starodubets, the Superintendent of Central Asia district. We went to Pavlodar with such a strong team, because we have a saying \u201cWe don\u2019t leave ours\u201d.<\/p>\n

First evening, on the 20th February, Kanat Khojamuratov, the presbyter and the director of Educational Center in Central Asia told about Wesleyan way of salvation among two united home groups of Pavlodar.<\/p>\n

After a short break, a pastor Maxim Yurchenko led an interesting seminar about Evangelization.<\/p>\n

Second evening, the 21st February, sisters from the church met at the pastor\u2019s house, they had a good communication during Sister\u2019s Ministry.<\/p>\n

Brothers met at the church building; among them was Bishop Eduard Khegai, who came from Moscow.<\/p>\n

Brother and Sister Ministries were for the glory of God and for the good of His Church.<\/p>\n

Third Evening, the 22nd February, we worshiped Lord together with brothers and sisters of UMC \u201cPavlodar\u201d. Leaders of the worship team from UMC in Bishkek led us in worship (photos). Our Lord revealed His presence. Superintendent Oleg Starodubets shared the bible preaching. After the satiety of our spirit, we went for the meal. Sisters from Pavlodar cooked a delicious pilaf and we drank tea, which our brother, Magomet prepared.<\/p>\n

After the meal Bishop Eduard Khegay led the conference, where we discussed different variants of improvement of quality in Ministry in UMC Pavlodar. The congregation was active is discussion.<\/p>\n

After this communication, brothers went to sauna, and sisters prepared the celebratory table with meals to congratulate brothers with feast \u201cDefenders of the Fatherland Day\u201d, everything was really good!<\/p>\n

Summarizing the ministry \u201cCarry the burdens of others\u201d, I can say with confidence that this ministry is useful and biblical. We heard thankful comments from congregation, leaders and pastor of UMC Pavlodar, so we can say that our purpose was reached. Such ministries edify, bring together and unite; they pull those who are backward. I recommend that the leaders in Eurasia will get the motto, \u201cWe don\u2019t leave ours\u201d! If someone will feel hard, call us and we\u2019ll come for help.
\nI wish all people of God blessings from Him!<\/p>\n
