Letters to Predvestnik

Letter #1.
Dear friends!
I came to a breaking point recently in my life (I’m now 53) – and I am shocked. My mother, a true Christian, died this year. While living she had been trying to admonish me in the knowledge of God, but she died without a positive result. Recently I bought a copy of Predvestnik and was invited to The House of Prayer (a church), I was taught in the basic knowledge of God after 53 years of being deceived. And I was completely shaken.
Now I have been changed! I read the article “Who is Jesus Christ” in Predvestnik – and I repeat – I was shaken by the story of the life of Jesus Christ and the acts done by Him for the sake of the people living in the earth. I am now studying The New Testament, which was given to me in The House of Prayer by some young preachers, who were probably from Ukraine …

Letter #2.
The following letter was written by Nikolai, who is currently in a Siberian prison. Nikolai became a Christian in the prison hospital. At the time we received this letter, Nikolai’s church consisted of 8 prisoners; we have testimonies of some of these believers.
I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour and thank Him for opening my eyes to the spiritual life, and helping me to get rid of bad habits. He helped me to break links with my past and to get away from my carnal life in which I was mired in iniquities and the hopeless leprosy of sin. I would never have thought that Someone is able to change my thoughts and my entire life. The thing that neither my school nor militia could do, my almighty Lord Jesus Christ has done.
On the 1st of December 1991, our church kept covenant with the Lord through water baptism. Also, we try to reach out all the prisoners with the Gospel that they would accept Jesus as their Savior. We pray that the Lord bring the revival into our prison, into all hearts that have not accepted the Lord.
May God Himself abundantly bless you who love our Lord Jesus Christ fervently. Praise Him!

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in “tearing the lid off abortion” to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
“… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue.”
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the “historical Jesus” — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!
Running Time: 130 minutes

This historical epic captures the life and times of the greatest figure of the Protestant Reformation with depth and clarity, while giving a glimpse at the private man in the eye of the storm.
