Hi, this is Jonathan Lehman.

Welcome to this episode of Nine Marks Pastors Talk.

Nine Marks exists to help pastors build healthy churches learn more at nine marks.org.

And if you're interesting giving, go to nine marks.

Dot org forward slash talk.

I don't know why I always have a hard time remembering that, but there it is.

Talk, it's a simple, it's a short word.

You'd think I could remember that.

With me today is Dennis Boris, who's from Kazakhstan, is a pastor in Kazakhstan.

And if you go away back in the Nine Marks Archives, Pastures Talk Archives, we did a few

like Christianity in Russia, Christianity in Sweden, Christianity in India, and just talk

to brothers who are pastors there to get a sense of what it was like to pastor on the ground

in those different places and how churches were doing well, not well.

And Dennis Boris is here with me today.

Hi.

Who's a pastor in Kazakhstan.

Yes, I am.

Thank you so much, brother, for taking the time.

It's my pleasure.

Name of your church.

Almaty Bible Church.

Say that again?
