Address : v. Gorny, 8 house 377 apo.6 Kirovograd 25019 e-mail: jmarev74@mail.ru Born : January 15, 1974 Wife's name: Maria born March 24, 1975 Children: Ilya May 18, 2001 Wedding day : October 3, 1999 Not ordained Education : Technical Vocational school Work : as designer of interiors I have also graduated from Moscow Christian college I agree with all your 24 points suggested for me as a missionary of the GVF I say ' YES" to each of them, especially your stress on the love of God and salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. I thank you and The Gospel Vision Foundation’s willingness to support my work for God and by His grace you will not be disappointed. I will also be very thankful for the training and many practical teachings books that I have seen. I was born to an ordinary family. Nothing special. When I was 16 I tried drugs for the first time. As to drinking and smoking that was long before drugs. When I was 22 I was both married and divorces. Funny sound but this is true. My flat turned into a den And very soon I happen to Iive behind bars. Soon I was set free and took to the old habits again. The result- second term and prison for 3 years. Being at large I met some nice guys who spoke about normal rules of life. I disliked them and my intentions were to marry again and to be the master of my household. But which one? Church Grace was the best medication for me. There I met some guys who were like me before. But now they were different. My ambition made me better. I though. But that was God who was working in my soul. I appeal to all those who want to survive this hard life and be saved TRUST our LORD! Roman Zhmarev Roman Zhmarev is one of our newest and youngest missionaries. This young man and his wife, Maria were literally on fire to go to Dolinskaya and start a work. Both are young, not over 21. This was his first month on the field and for his first month’s report he wrote short and sweet what happened: Dear Brother Darrell My report is not very long but God planned such an amount work and I did it. 3 times we evangelized in Dolinskaya club. I had no personal meetings with leaders. I preached in different areas 3 times. We gave Social help for 3 families in need. We have no home groups started at all yet. Only 12 people repented, and that's all. Thanks for support and pray for us. Roman Zhmarev We are so proud of Roman and his wife Maria. Though his report sounds apologetic, he has no need to be sorry, – only 12 saved!! If 12 people repented and were saved, that is 12 more in the Kingdom of God, and THAT is what Gospel Vision Foundation is all about! † |
