Ministry connects with Malaysian student fellowship in Moscow
The International Ministry of the Moscow Good News Church reaches people from many nations who reside in the city. Recently, Terri Young, the director of the Good News Seminary, was thrilled to be asked to minister at a Malaysian student fellowship in one of Moscow's medical universities. After worshiping with the students, Terri shared from God's Word - and three precious souls gave their hearts to the Lord that evening, Christian Telegraph and Rick Renner Ministries report.
According to these students, there are about 2,500 Malaysians in Russia studying to earn their degrees, mostly in the medical field. The country of Malaysia is a Muslim nation known for its strict observance of Islamic law. For example, if a person was born Malay and converts from Islam, the penalties for such a conversion are frighteningly severe. On the other hand, a Malaysian citizen with an ethnic background, such as Chinese or Indian, is free to practice any religion he wishes.
The Malaysian students were excited about Terri's visit to their campus group. Some of the girls made special, beautifully painted Easter eggs to give Terri as keepsakes. The praise and worship was vibrant, and the meeting was very lively and upbeat. The students received the Word of God eagerly and with great joy. These future doctors will be a tremendous godly influence in whatever country they go to practice medicine.
When God called Terry and Terri Young to Moscow, they never dreamed that from just one city, they would have the opportunity to minister to people from all over the world. Yet through their ministry, they have taught the Bible to people from all over Europe, Africa, and Asia. Many of the people they minister to will eventually leave Russia and return to their native countries, where they will take the Good News back to their family and friends. This is the goal of the International Ministry of MGNC - to minister to the needs of the international community in Moscow and to disciple them in God's Word so that they can skillfully share the Good News with others.
