International Leadership Academy in Belarus | Our ministry

Konovalchik Alexey

A woman was walking in front of me. She was carrying two heavy bags and I decided to help her. Reaching to her I heard her saying: "It's almost one thousand people. Where do these cruel people come from? "

It was obvious she was talking about events in Moscow.

I came alongside and offered her help. We started a conversation. We talked about those tragic events and than I asked her: "Who is in your opinion guilty in this tragedy?" Her answer was vast. According to her anybody was guilty but not us.

I told her about Siloam tower and reminded the words of Christ that such awful events showed us the necessity of repentance and turning to God. Then we talked about sin, fall of Adam and Eve, about substitutive sacrifice of Jesus Christ, repentance, salvation given to all people by God through Jesus Christ. A woman asked a lot of questions. You could see that she was interested in our conversation.

In front of her house we parted. I gave her the address of the closest church. The woman said she would need to think about everything.
