From Agnostic Professor to Preacher

May 3, 2003

Bob and Jan Towell, directors of the WEI Internet ministry, forwarded the following Email—written by Professor Gennadiy Postnov, a WEI student in Lipetsk, Russia who has been baptized:

“In March, Robert Knapp rang me up asking if I was willing to conduct Bible classes at the Lipetsk church. After a week or so, I accepted the offer. Since then, I’ve preached several times.
 
“Having been brainwashed forcibly by godless materialism propaganda, too many people in this country are pursuing material possessions—to no avail. I am sure the economic situation won’t improve until the nation starts taking heed to Jesus’ teachings. Having been robbed of heavenly bread and concentrating exclusively on their daily bread, people have neither—because they walk in darkness.
“I thank God for my American friends who have helped me see the Light.”
