You show me, you bring me a Russian saved pastor in here, try to bring him in here today.
Try to bring him to me sometime this week. You're not going to find him.
You know what? Because they don't exist here.
It's a pterodactyl dream that you're trying to live.
You're trying to look for something that doesn't exist anymore.
A saved Russian pastor.
Now, are there exceptions to the rule? Of course there are.
Someone's going to write me an email or someone's going to type it on my Facebook page or whatever.
Or type it on my YouTube page.
Hey, I found a saved pastor. You're wrong, Pastor Thompson.
The exception proves the rule.
Show me one around here.
So why, if you're saved and you're Russian, why in the world would you go to a church where you know the pastor's not saved?
That makes zero sense.
I thank God for faithful Russian men and women that come to our church.
I thank God for them, but I want the ones that don't come as often.
I want you to come more.
I want you to get plugged in.
Look, it's not just about your families.
And this is the thing. Here's another thing I see people getting caught up.
It's just they're only trying to reach their own people.
Hey, I try to reach all people.
I want to reach the yellow, black, white, whatever race you are.
There's only one race, the human race.
But you know what I'm saying?
I don't discriminate with, well, you know, they're not born in the USA, so I'm just going to...
They weren't born in the USA.
That's stupid.
Love all people.
Love everybody.
Hey, when you come solely at this church, you know what you're going to find?
You're going to knock on doors of people that are all different races or cultures and nations.
That's what you're going to find.
And you're going to be able to reach all people.
And you know what?
You're going to knock on a Russian door, too.
And you're going to be able to be more effective with that person than I am.
Especially if I don't speak Russian, which I don't.
So I'm in trouble right when they say, no, no, speak English.
I'm done.
I can't do anything.
I can't even hand them a pamphlet or anything that has any kind of Russian material on it.
We know what we need.
We need a Russian revival of Baptists.
We need people that can reach the Russians that don't speak English around here.
We need people that can reach this generation for Christ of the Russian-speaking people and everybody else.
