Divine Shepherd supports Missionary Slava Ostanin in Novosibirsk Russia through a 3-year financial commitment and prayer support.

Outreach to prisoners and children is the continuing mission focus of Slava. He ministers to juvenile and adult inmates at correctional colonies, children in orphanages and tuberculosis sanatoriums, as well as released prisoners and their families.

In addition, Slava teaches Bible study, preaches and provides counsel at the congregation where he serves as Pastor. The congregation is very involved in ministry donating used clothing, shoes and other basic necessities, visiting hospitals and orphanages, and reaching out and sharing the love of Jesus in many other ways. Slava coordinates the collection and distribution of food, medicines, clothing, shoes and other necessities to those in need in the congregation as well as the institutions he serves.

“I thank God for you unceasingly because we are only able to do this good work through your support, your invaluable contribution to the cause. We really need your prayers and they are especially needed by those people whom God allows you and us to serve for their salvation in Christ.”
