Proclaiming the Gospel with Evidence to All Peoples Everywhere
By Dr. Oleg Voskresensky, FaithSearch Russian evangelist
Thomas Aquinas (1224—1274) wrote, “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.”
Aquinas developed what are known as the Five Classical Arguments for the Existence of God. Wait. What? Was he being ironic, or was the great Medieval theologian up to something truly deep and profound here? Or both?

[Jesus] came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.
Luke 10: 38-42
To a clergy family, Christmas–though special–is also very busy and very scheduled.
When my husband retired from parish ministry, Christmas was a whole new experience for our family. Yes, we had less on our schedule, but like everyone else, schedules were still something we had to work around.

One of my favorite holiday memories is of Christmas Eve at the church where my dad was pastor. His duties of leading the community celebration colored our family festivities–meaning the church was always a big part of our Christmas.
Near the end of the service, after we had sung the familiar carols and heard the Christmas story, the lights would go down in the sanctuary. The candles of the advent wreath provided only a small pool of light, which did little to overcome the darkness where we sat.

My schedule is so full, my travel is so hectic, and the internet connection is so poor (sanctions!) that I just can’t keep up with my blog this time. Sorry about that.
Well, to be honest, I am absolutely happy with the way things are going.
I had two to three events every day in St. Petersburg and in Samara during the first two week of the trip and the response of my audiences was totally amazing! Almost every day, I heard somebody saying: “I have been waiting for this [historic evidence for faith] all my life!” or “This is what all our Bible College classes should be like and all about.”
Yes, St. Petersburg “Dostoyevsky style” – gloomy, wet and windy – was depressing. Yes, my two-hour flight from Samara to Moscow and then a red-eye four-and-a-half-hour flight back and across to Gorno-Altaysk with a three-hour delay were exhausting. But the Lord was providing me with just enough energy to stand in front of my three-hour-long class right off the plane in Biysk and then to travel back to my room in Gorno-Altaysk 100 kilometers away on Russian roads.
Again, I am loving every minute of it and looking forward to my next presentation tomorrow morning for the teachers gathered from all over the Altay Region (almost the size of Minnesota).

One hundred and one men, women, and children sailed for sixty-six days across the Atlantic Ocean in 1620. Their first act at Plymouth (Cape Cod, Massachusetts today) when their feet hit the ground was to kneel in prayer.
After one winter in the New World, only fifty-three survived disease and starvation. They celebrated with thanksgiving in the fall of 1621, along with ninety Wampanoag Indians, including their leader and ally, Massasoit.
