May 2012 — Celebrating 79 Years of Ministry!

Dear Beloved in Christ,

May is always a time when we are reminded of the vision of the late Dr. Ivan Neprash whofounded the ministry of "Russian Missionary Service" in May of 1933.

After Dr. Neprash's death in April of 1958, he work was reorganized as "Slavic Missionary Service," and I came on board as Executive Director over 54 years ago. With God's help, Dr. Neprash's vision to reach Slavic people home and abroad with the good news of the Gospel has continued on because of the love and support of friends like you.

I am thankful to the Lord for young dedicated men like Rob Zapotoski, our field coordinator, and George Harlov, SMS's chairman, who are dedicated to continuing this vision through the work of Slavic Missionary Service. And of course, we are so thankful for your part in reaching out to a needy people with the Word of God. May God continue to bless you as you allow yourselves to be used by HIM!

Sincerely & Gratefully —

Alex Leonovich,
Executive Director,
SMS

He and Earl Poysti were the main sources of spiritual food for us, because Bibles were scarce at the time of socialism reighning. The book you sent is very captivating to read and I can identify with a lot of things there. I had a hard time putting it down…" .
