Russia Missions

In partnership with Pastor Igor Volovodov, Immanuel Church helped to plant St. Apostles Peter and Paul Church in Voronezh, Russia in the early 2000’s. Pastor Igor has helped to disciple many new believers through the church’s many groups (Boy Scouts, Men’s Group, and newly added Christian Learning Academy) and missionary journeys throughout Russia, and even pilgrimages to the Holy Land. On a more recent mission, Pastor Igor baptized 18 new believers into the Christian faith. 



More recently, Pastor Igor, and their church have been faithfully serving both Russian and Ukrainian refugees from the ongoing war. Many families have been displaced, homes destroyed, and food supplies vastly depleted. The church has been a safe haven, a blessing to the many in need, and a reminder that God works for the good of all who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). 

Christmas celebrations are still one of the spiritual high points of the calendar year as they celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
