Alyoshin DOM ARM (www.ARM.org) Report

November 2011, v. 10, # 11 (117)

Glory to Christ, my beloved brother!

This is my brief report for November 2011.

1. IMMERSIONS. On 09.11.2011 I immersed into the Name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit young man, named Oleg Yassinskiy (the son of our chaplaincy activist Igor Yassinskiy – the ethnic Pole; the writer of fantastic novels, published in Russian and in Polish; the member of the Krasnodar branch of the Russian Writers Union).

2. PRISONS. The DOM ARM ministers had 17 visits to prisons, prison camps, prison psychiatric asylums, detention cells, to the families of convicts this month.

Elena Filipieva (Crimea, Ukraine) led the conference of her “Aibolit” organization (the umbrella one to incorporate the prison ministries of 16 Christian congregations) in Simferopol (Crimea). That conference once again has entrusted me to be the member of the “Aibolit” board of trustees and the chaplain for that institution (for 2012). Thus, the ARM continues to influence spiritually the prison ministry not only in Russia, but also in Ukraine, Georgia, Abkhazia, etc.

3. MOSLEMS. Ph. D. (Islamic studies) Aider Bulatov was also included into the “Aibolit” board of trustees. Dr. Bulatov is a close advisor of the Qirimtatar Mejlis member Nadir Bekirov (who is also the member of the UN Commission on the Indigenous Peoples Rights). Therefore the named board has for the first time united in one and official body the known representative of the Crimea Islamic community and the ARM representative (and under my chaplainship).

4. MISSION  TRIPS. In November I had felt for the first time myself to be “a radio missionary”. Indeed, being the candidate to the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian Federal Parliament) I received the obligate by law possibility to speak for 5,5 million of the citizens of the Krasnodar Territory through TV (4 times) and Radio (3 times). Those translation covered the area of 80 000 square kilometres. I spoke about repentance; about the sheep of Christ to go to the right – to the Kingdom of God (Mt. 25:33 – 34); and about the goats of satan to go to the left – into the everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels (Mt. 25:33, 41). I spoke about the leader of the Russian communists (whose surname is Zyuganov) to be the black horseman of the Apocalypse (which has a pair of balances – in Greek “zyugan” – in his hand) (Rev. 6:5). The “black zyugan” tries to have the satanic control over the food prices, and his followers are the death, on a pale horse, and all the hell (Rev. 6:6 – 8). Thus, the followers of Zyuganov (the communists and the members of the other four parties, having signed the pre-election union with the communists) are the participants of the hell column, moving into the everlasting fire.

This preaching was so impressive, that during one of the radio discussions with me in straight ether a communist candidate Sokolenko had repented and accepted Christ and Holy Spirit! And millions of radio listeners have heard this repentance! I have received dozens of telephone calls and e-mails to glorify God for this spiritual radio event. For sure, this even the only radio repentance in straight ether could have justified in the spirit all our participance in the elections and in TV and radio programmes!

5. MEDITATIONS. The Russian leader Putin, trying to become the Russia President for the third time, has brought to this country the so called “the Godmother’s girdle” – a made of hairs relic to be kept in Greece, in one the mount Athos monasteries. As the pre-election campaign they carried this girdle all over Russia – from Kaliningrad (former Koenigsberg) to Vladivostok. They managed to gather more, than 3 million people to worship this relic (to kiss the arklet with it). Only in Moscow they gathered more, than one million of the exalted worshippers (mainly the people, desiring to be healed, being in the situation, when no normal medical help can be received in Russia). Putin, Medvedev, Sobyanin (Moscow mayor), patriarch Cyrillus, etc., etc. have publicly kissed the girdle arklet. They declared, that now “the Godmother herself has covered Russia with her girdle”. Some orthodox theologists even have named this hairs relic to be “the bridal ring of the Vladimir Putin third Presidency” (following the example of calling such a relic, as the foreskin flesh of Jesus, as if to be kept in the temple of Cornelius and Cyprian in Calcata near Rome to be the “bridal ring of the catholic church”). Surely, this ecstatic idolatry has brought not the prosperity of Russia, but the new and shameful collapse: the Russian space station “Phobos” was lost after the launching on 08 – 09.11.2011. This station was to reach Phobos (Mars satellite) and to come back to the Earth with that small planet soil. The station has been being built for 25 years; it costs about 20 milliards of roubles. This example, shows the necessity of the constant meditation over the Word of the Lord: “And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty” (Is., 3:24).

6. DIVINE  ACTION. One of the participants of my TV discussions was some mr. Obukhov – “the secretary for ideology of the Russian communist party central committee” (i.e. the “left hand” and the main theoretician of Zyuganov). Obukhov had so been frightened with my speech about the Apocalyptical “black zyugan”, that he immediately informed his chief about it. And – imagine – communist, atheist, Darwinist, Marxist, Stalinist Zyuganov ran to kiss the arklet with the “Godmother’s girdle”! He tried to show himself not to be the servant of the beast. But the God Almighty has at once disclosed this trick and showed Zyuganov to be the “trembling devil”! Indeed, true is the Holy Scripture: “the devils also believe and tremble” (James, 2:19)! And this is the true Divine Action! Alleluia!

7. YOUTH  MINISTRY. Our youth “NIKA” ministry organized this month an all-Russia young Christians conference in Krasnodar. Our daughter Nike and her husband Yura were the members of the organizing committee. Nike also had two master-classes to lead at the conference, and Yura had one master-class else.

The youth ministry also has organized the international internet competition for young Christian photographers. Many participants have sent their works to the Jury (where Yura is the chairman) from Russia, Ukraine, USA and Germany. The results will be known next month.

8. PUBLIC  RELATIONS. I had 7 TV and radio speeches this month, dozens of meetings with the electors.

I was also invited to open and to bless the international conference of the “Memorial” society (the union of persons, persecuted in Soviet Union and Russia on religious and political basis). It took place in Krasnodar on 05 – 06.11.2011; the guests from Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Armenia were present.

I spoke also at the international conference of grain traders and producers (Krasnodar, 22.11.2011) and at two big local conferences.

9. REPRESSIONS. The communists tried to stop the “Memorial” conference – they had a 50-members picket under the portraits of Stalin and red banners against us. But the Lord gave us the possibility to work and to pray at this conference in peace.

One my radio translation was prohibited, as well as two TV ones. One TV translation was severely censured – they cut off and let not be translated some of my passages. Three times the unknown men threated to me with the telephone; once (during the TV programme!) I was threatened to be put into the mad house; once a worshipper of the bats (watch Is. 2:20) tried to bite me with his teeth during the TV translation – but he was stopped with my public prayer to Jesus. Once in the TV center I was illegally personally searched with the guards (though, as an official candidate to the Parliament, I had the personal legal immunity). My official programme – “The Western Caucasus Modernization” – was with the law obligatory to be published in the Krasnodar Territory Administration newspaper “Kuban news” (in Rus. “Kubanskie Novosty”). But the chief editor of it – V. Smeyukha – rejected to publish my material, and my programme – quite unlawfully – was not published!

The Federal Council of our party (“Right Case”) had sent to Krasnodar to our young volunteers 100 sets of different things with party symbolics (banners, tents, jackets, hats, base-boll caps, T-shirts, scarfs, cups, bags, ball-pens) – but all those sets were arrested and “frozen”. Thus, all these powerful instruments of propaganda have not taken part in the pre-election campaign. Again and again I and our young volunteers were called “the religious maniacs” …

But the Christ was seen in His “light, which no man can approach unto” (1 Tim. 6:16), giving us His spiritual gift with the words: “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Cor. 12:9)!

10. SUPPORT. We received the October ARM support through Max Goins “We-Go” system OK.

We received also very kind support from the dearly beloved bro pastor Dr. Gerhard Leiser (Karlsruhe, Germany) and from our Moscow branch brethren and sistren (my sister N. Koff is the DOM ARM representative there).

We received also letters, e-mails, phone calls of support from Rod Farthing, T. W. Hunt, N. G. Plutenko, N. Dudley, Max Goins (all – USA); A. Novosyolov (Spain); E. Filipieva, A. Hamzin, L. Muslimova (Crimea, Ukraine).

We received also the November number of the “Religion and Society in West and East” journal from Zurich (Switzerland, the subscription has been donated by pastor Dr. G. Leiser). Pastor G. Leiser sent to us also very interesting information about the global food and seeds situation. It was very useful.

We spread among the prisoners and their relatives 20 kg of apples, 15 kg of porridge, 10 kg of sugar and 4 kg of lemons, donated by Krasnodar brethren.

God bless all the endorsers, donators and supporters!

In Jesus our hope!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
