My name is Andrei Blinkov. This is an English part of my blog. I am a pastor of Russian church in Khimky,  Moscow. Our church is activlely involved into the ministry to drug-addicts and alcoholics. In 2007 I had a privilage to graduate from the Dmin program of Asbury Theological Seminary. Some abstacts from my dissertation you can read here.  Currently I am teaching in MSEC and RACU in Moscow. I have one wife, a daughter Victoria, son Timothy and another son on the way…

Here you can see our view for the spiritual future of Russia,  our news and some of my thoughts on prayer.

I hope this would benefit to somebody. Many blessings in our Saviour!

   Do you believe that women are called by the Lord into full-time ministry?

   I am trying to keep sound and balanced approach. On one side we know that women are not allowed to speak in the church. At the same time a woman can prophesy: «But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven» (1Co.11:5). So how to unite these two sides?
   I think that if a women is speaking in the church out of her own initiative, she is violating the Word, but if she is prophesying or speaking on behalf of the Holy Spirit and somebody would try to stop her – he would be closing the mouth of the Spirit.
   So, in a sense, women carry greater responsibility than men to minister in the church. But they can do it if the Holy Spirit gives His calling, word and anointing. And the Spirit does it in many cases, no doubt!
   Andrei
