Vladimir Tatarnikow, Pfarrer der Ev.-Luth. Gemeinde in Grodno, Belarus, teilt Neuigkeiten und Ereignisse aus den ersten beiden Monaten des Jahres 2025. In der aktuellen Passionszeit gilt das Motto seiner Gemeinde besonders: "Schritt für Schritt, mit Gottes Hilfe".

Dear Friends, Brothers, and Sisters!

Warm greetings from Belarus! We want to thank you for your support and prayers! We want to share with you news about our life in the first two months of this year, and also look forward with hope to the season of Lent.

January and February were filled with both ordinary days and joyful events in the life of our communities. Children's Sunday school continued, where children learned about biblical stories and were strengthened in their faith. Youth meetings provided an opportunity for young people to connect, discuss important issues, and seek answers together in God's Word. Social work continued, aimed at supporting those in need and providing assistance to those in difficult life situations. General community gatherings also took place, where we prayed together, studied Scripture, and planned future activities.

Now we enter the season of Lent - a time of repentance, reflection, and spiritual renewal. We look to this time with hope. Our community's motto is "Step by step, with God's help."

In these challenging times, we are especially grateful to you who support and help us. Thank you for your prayers, your assistance, and your support.

We believe that together, with God's help, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and continue to witness to the love of Christ in Belarus.

Thank you for your support!
May God bless you!

With brotherly love, 

Vladimir Tatarnikov
