Bike trip – July 26 – Cheremkhovo town

The church of Evangelical Christians-Baptists in Cheremkhovo town, where our Expedition arrived, was founded in the far 1920. A small group consisting of 20 members did not have a church house and had meetings at home. In 1937 the church was officially registered by the local state power. But the same year powers arrested all church members.

The church of Evangelical Christians-Baptists in Cheremkhovo town, where our Expedition arrived, was founded in the far 1920.  A small group consisting of 20 members did not have a church house and had meetings at home. In 1937 the church was officially registered by the local state power. But the same year powers arrested all church members. Only 12 years after, in 1949, Cheremkhovo ECB church bought a church house and obtained registration again. At that moment there were already 150 members. In 1979 the church house was removed. In 1980 the church bought a piece of land in Dmitrova street, 31, built a church house and dedicated it.

 

The evangelistic worship service took place in the gymnasium Shakhtior at 18.00. On behalf of the town Administration Mr. Vassily A. Zhilkin, a 93-year-old war veteran greeted members of the bike trip, a honorary citizen of Cheremkhovo town. «What you do is worthy of a State award. You really love people by propagating a really healthy way of life. Thank you so much for visiting out small Siberian town Cheremkhovo».

 

We rejoiced that another day, granted to us by God, was not spent in vain. It was good to see people including Vassily, with NTs in their hands. Cheremkhovo church of Evangelical Christians-Baptists works the soil and sows and sows the Word of God. We, members of the Missionary Expedition, tried to fill in the soil with living moisture. But only God will give growth to it in due time. «So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase». On the 26th of July 2007 in the unity of spirit and peace, at the local stadium Shakhtior, the local ECB church and members of the bike trip took part in the service, serving people and God!

 

P.S. In 1772 on the bank of the Cheremkhovka (Cheremshana) River, given this name due to the abundance of bird cherry trees, by the post station on Moscow highway, the village Cheremkhovo was founded. In 1917 Cheremkhovo village became the town. Presently Cheremkhovo is one of the coal mining centres in Irkutsk region, where there is an open mining (2 coal strip mines, 3 dressing plants). Wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat grow in Cheremkhovo region. People ranch dairy cattle.
