Missionary trip to Yakutia
On May 29 started SPbCU missionary trip to Yakutia. We need your pr
ayer support for three students: Sveta Markina, Olga Spiridonova and Daria Smirnova.
Thank you very much for all who responded for this request!
There were many obstacles for fundraising for this trip. Students themselves organized special campaign among local churches and thank God many of them responded for this need. Some funds were received from missionary organizations from abroad.
Thank God, our students now are talking about God with the people of Yakutia, helping in local churches, and spreading Good News of salvation.
What is Yakutia?
It is a territory in the extreme North of Asia whose cultural history pushes its boundaries as far West as Central Asia but whose cultural legacy reaches as far East as Greenland
.
Centered in Yakutsk, three quarters of the population makes its home scattered across Yakutia's vast, varied, and extreme landscape.
Yakutia is known for its climate extremes, with the Verkhoyansk Range being the coldest area in the northern hemisphere.
The Northern Hemisphere's Pole of Cold is at Verkhoyansk, where the temperatures reached as low as -67.8°C in 1892, and at Oymyakon, where the temperatures reached as low as -67.7°C in 1933.
