Commissioning of Youth Minister

Omsk
  On May 11th Anastasia Razinkova was commissioned to serve as youth coordinator for the deanery of Eastern Siberia of the ELCUSFE. Nastya was born near Irkutsk in the city of Shelekhov; she was raised a Christian, and by 14 was already leading camp ministries. She already knew then that she wanted to work with children and after finishing school got her teaching certificate. In 2012 she graduated from the Theological Seminary and then had her internship in Omsk, where she will continue to live.
  Bishop Otto Schaude blessed Nastaya for this work at a regular Sunday worship service, underlining the importance of sowing God's Word in the hearts of children. The congregational choir gave Nastya a musical gift to go along with the kind words that many addressed to her on this joyous occasion.
