Max Gorbunov
OMSK, RUSSIA
Max received a Bible while working as a translator for a Christian conference in his hometown of Omsk, and accepted Christ as his personal Savior after reading it for two months.
Soon after, he visited friends in Moscow (1,700 miles away), and attended a Calvary Chapel there. They began to pray for one to be started in Omsk. Calvary Fellowship participated in planting the church there in 1997, and in 2001 the Lord called Max to pastor Calvary Chapel Omsk. The city of 1.2 million people is located in southwestern Siberia where the winters can be very cold and the summers very hot!
Teaching the Bible and bringing people closer to the Lord.
Mission
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers... And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Vision
Prayer Request
Please pray for continued wisdom and grace in shepherding His church and strategies for evangelism to reach the people of Omsk. Pray for our own building for services. For the church members to be hungry for growth, and the church youth to thrive in their faith.
