This section relates about the people who once were a part of our church,
but according to the God's plan were called to minister in other cities of Russia.
However, despite the distance parting us, we do maintain kindred, warm relations and
as much as we can - participate in each others lives - both in church and personal one. We write letters,
take part in mutual evangelical outreaches, pay visits, become guest speakers - in general,
we do everything that is typical for relatives!

Misha and Yulya Andronovs, who had been ministering in our worship team, plus Misha was assistant pastor - in March of 2000 were called by the Lord to a new and larger ministry. Misha became the pastor of Calvary Chapel Church in Sochi. It has been growing and getting stronger since then as well as the Andronovs family - they left with one son David, but now they have two - younger Ilya joined them!

Sergey and Julia Grigorievs before the summer of 2002 were key leaders in our church. Sergey was assistant pastor and worship leader, Julia was church bookkeeper. But in certain time the Lord called them also to a new field. Sergey became the pastor of Calvary Chapel Church in Cheboksary (native city both for Sergey and Julia). The Grigorievs have two sons - Matthew and Simon.

Alyona Nezhivih for a long time had been ministering in our Sunday school. Many of those kids, who are grown up now and reach teen-age, do remember Alyona, her care and interest for their lives. Alyona went to Cheboksary with the Grigorievs family by the summer of 2002. Now she ministers there being in charge of Sunday school, orphanage and women ministry.

Dima and Nadya Krupennikovs and their sons Sergey and Ilya are another small part of us. As the Grigorievs moved Dima became assistant pastor and worship ministry leader. But in the fall of 2004 the Lord called (as it usually happens with worship leaders in our church :o) the Krupennikovs out of Nizhny Novgorod. Dima now is the pastor of Calvary Chapel Church in Kaluga.

Tanya Zaitseva was an "ordinary" student from those who in great number attend our church. :o) But from January of 2005 the Lord showed her the next step in her life. He called Tanya to minister in "Calvary Chapel Church Planting Mission" located near Moscow and later on even further - to minister in Calvary Chapel Perm...
