After a communion service, Bishop Laptev presented several examples of effective mission work in the ELCIR congregations situated in various localities, such as cities, villages, and sparsely populated areas. The bishop’s Bile study “Indifference toward the Church in the Modern World” was live-streamed in the VK group of the Petrozavodsk Congregation. Other speakers were Oleg Belezhenko, diaconal ministry development coordinator, and Nikolai Minenkov, head of the ELCIR Children & Youth Dept.
