December 2006. Middle East. Israel. 10.12.2006. 18:05
All this story
started in far February 1995. I was young. We
came to Israel from Russia via Finland with
my mother and my brother’s family.
The integration into a new environment went fast. In Ulpan (Hebrew
school) during the Purim, I was playing a role of Mordechai.
But a real life began with the birth of “Living Israel”
church in December 1995. Besides being a pastor, I was also responsible for tambourine. Here
are the first members of the church: Me, my mother Frida, Ivanov Yuri and Dina (with their
children), Trofimova Anna, Andreas Kelling and our first new born believers Kalifizki Sergey
and Natasha.
The same period of the earlier church of 1996.
One of our first visits of other church. Nazareth, “Spirit of Life” church.
Purim. 1997.
The same period.
In summer 1997 I successfully got married to Marina, in Russia. I was 29, and Marina was so young. This photo was made one year later.
And “Living Israel” grew up and roved through various appartments.
In Summer 1998 we move to a wide cottage.
During the same period a historic meeting with Ruslan takes place. The decision is made to call us Living
Israel “Congregation”, being a not clear yet but a solid name. The territory is defined by the governmental borders.
The beginning of the ministries in Beer Sheva and Tel Aviv.
Missionary trips. Thanks God that even in a train you could pray!
The ministry in Petach Tickva is developing.
In the north we move to the Arabic restaurant of Samir.
Here is the triumph! We rent an old industry building in an industrial zone.

In Beer Sheva Ruslan get married, the church is growing up. The meetings are taking place at rented villa.
In Haifa the ministry’s growth requires a new place and here it is found.
The repair works began.
The ending of the repair works.
The beginning of the our ministry in Jerusalem.
In Beer Sheva we move from villa to a rented building.
Common meetings of living Israel congregation In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
In 2003 God through
Vladimir Kruchkov starts the rehabilitation
ministry for drug and alcohol addicted people.
Thus, a new and fresh spiritual powers flow
into the congregation and sharply transfer it
into a new position.
In the same period the ministry in Maalot starts.
In 2006 „Living Israel“ moves into another “gravimetric“ category with more then 300 adults, in Haifa after the repair work the premises are enlarged and modified.
