Your ministry has been a true answer to prayer.

by: A.M.

First of all I would like to give all the glory to our Heavenly Father, the living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and to His precious Son Yeshua, our Lord and Saviour! Secondly I would like to thank you Rabbi Gennady, your wife and family, your music team and all who help make your ministry possible. There are so many things I would like to say and I don't know how to say them all in a short letter. But these things need to be shared. I have had a number of health issues that have lasted a number of years now. I have held strong in believing that the Lord allowed these things to happen for a reason.

I believe that part of the lesson is to teach me how to be patient and to trust in Him fully. Also, how to endure and not give up. Not only do I believe that the Lord has carried me through all along, I know that He will give His healing in His time. The Lord has guided me, by His Holy Spirit, to watch your ministry as an answer to my prayer and as growth and encouragement for me. I have been discouraged by "religious" people who tell me that there is no way God would have a purpose in allowing someone to have health issues. They also said that if a person has enough faith he or she would be immediately healed. This has been difficult because the Lord knows my heart and I have always believed that He can do anything. I have no doubt that He can and will heal me.

However, I believe that He allows things for His purposes and that we may not always understand these purposes. I've always felt that the Lord is my refuge and strength and that He always has my life in the palm of His hand. So you see, hearing your messages the last couple of weeks have felt like you are talking directly to me. The scriptures that you've been sharing and the way you explain things are an absolute blessing to me! Not only to me but to my Mom as well. She started watching your ministry along with me and we have both been so very blessed. We know that the Holy Spirit of the Lord is truly working through you Rabbi Gennady. I would also like to say that it was a blessing to hear your wife speak and to hear Ruth share her healing testimony during your first prayer/worship/communion service a couple of weeks ago. It was very encouraging and uplifting.

Your ministry has been a true answer to prayer. Even though physical restoration hasn't manifested for me yet, I still rejoice in the many spiritual blessings that the Lord has given me through your ministry. My Mom and I are looking forward to watching your 30th wedding anniversary/vow renewel this Saturday. That is my birthday too so it will be special to be able to share your celebration! Thank you so very much and may our Lord keep you, your family, and your church family close to Him always.
