Dmitry Mardas - Belarus

Dmitry Mardas has been a member of the church "Salvation" in Minsk - Belarus for the last 10 years. He was serving as preacher in Zaslavl and in two churches in Minsk - "Golgotha" and Bethlehem". He was responsible for the adult Sunday school class; bible lessons; prayer meetings and youth groups. He is also involved in sport activities of the church and working with university teachers. Dmitry is one of the project participants of "Belarus for Christ". We would like to publish his letter addressed to "New Fields" in order to introduce him to our supporters and prayer warriors.

"At this time I am a research worker at the university of physiology at the national science academy of Belarus. 8 years ego I have started my post graduate studies. I also continue the preparation of my doctorate thesis in the area of physiology. Over 20 scientific works are written in this time and several conferences invited me as a speaker. The atheistic supervisors were trying to use me as a workforce, manipulating and cheating me knowing that as a Christian I will do my job in good faith. They burdened me with many responsibilities and the Lord only knows how hard it has been. I became physically ill, my hair became gray and the immune system stopped functioning properly. I got 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Access to the university computers was limited. The printer was locked up every evening so that I was unable to print my works on it. The small salary I received ($130 a month) did not allow me to buy a personal laptop, in order to be more affective in my studies and in serving the Lord. Beside this God gave me the strength to be involved in teaching Sunday school and a preaching ministry in several local churches. A big joy were the prayer meetings with the youth group and the sermon preparations. In the evangelistic campaign "Belarus for Christ" we drove in cars from village to village preaching the good news of salvation in Jesus!

God has blessed me with the biggest collection of citrus plants in the country. I was also given air time at the national radio and TV stations where I could share about these wonderful plants God has made. We were talking of God, science, creation, salvation and the Bible as the most important historical document known to people. Many of the scientific works were published in national and regional magazines and newspapers. Through it thousands have been able to read about God’s creation. Belarus is a communist country a former republic of the USSR and it is not always easy to proclaim openly what we believe. This is why God put on my heart to use any opportunity to defend the message of the Bible through scientific research.

Got has thought me to be available for those in need and put others before my own agenda and plans. To continue the ministry among scientists and university teachers I really would need your prayers and financial support. I need His grace and guidance to expand the ongoing ministry of witnessing. To serve God wholeheartedly and to minister to people with the gifts He has bestowed upon me is my sincere desire. May God bless you and your families for the input you have made to proclaim the Gospel of Christ! Together we can achieve much more and spread the message in the scientific community of Belarus. United in prayer and love and with all the best wishes!"
