Pastor  Nafis (nah-FEESE) is the pastor of a house church in Krivlya-Illushkino (Kryev-LYEH Ee-LYOOSH-keen-uh) in the southern part of Bashkortostan. 

 

Pastor Nafis has the following important prayer requests:

1.       Pray that we can reach more men in our village.  There are only a couple of men in our church and we are asking God to bring men in our village to repentance.

2.       Pray that the Bible study among our female members keeps reaching people with the gospel and that the believers would be edified and equipped and empowered.

3.       Pray for repentance of the children of the believers in our church.

Pray especially for one male member of our church who is not walking with the Lord right now and is at odds with our church.  Pray for him to come back to us and be restored to fellowship.

Please pray for Nafiz as he leads his church in Krevlya in building repairs…the small church has substantially completed most of the interior repairs, but the roof remains to be done…pray for the strength and resources to be supplied that are necessary to complete this sorely-needed repair job.

Pastor Nafis is married and has two children.  This picture was taken in their home in June 2003.  The children have changed in many ways in that period of time.  His wife is a gracious hostess to her visitors.  We enjoyed meeting with some of the believers and staying overnight in Krivlya-Illushkino.  The time of worship and the warm hospitality has not been forgotten.  We look forward to meeting again someday.
