Television studio "Istochnik" has been operating in Smolensk for 10 years. Four young men create a half hour weekly program mostly from a small room in the balcony of the church. The TV program has about 500,000 viewers. In addition to the segment especially created for children, the program includes information about the church ministries and other news from the Protestant Christian community. Some people seek church membership after being introduced to the church community through television. In addition to the weekly program, the studio is called upon to shoot Christian concerts, conferences, Christian films, social programs, puppet shows, and much more. Istochnik is the only Baptist TV studio in all of Russia.
Please pray for the TV ministry. New and better equipment is needed to make their work even more professional. Please pray also for Sergey Sergeev (pictured far right), studio director who wears many hats in the church - that of Deacon, Regional Youth Leader, Choir Singer, and Preacher. Sergey is married with three wonderful children.
