Pastor Moves to ETSM, Introducing Gennady Zagrebin

ETSM welcomes Gennady and Ina Zagrebin as new dormitory parents and student dean. During the tulmultous early 90's that faced Russian after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Gennady's personal life was collasping. After experiencing the disillusionment of drugs and alcohol and disasterous family life, Gennady gave his life to Christ in 1993. Within a few years, the changes that God had brought into Gennady's life were enormous.

In 1996, Gennady married Ina and the Lord has blessed them with three children. In 2000, Gennady planted and pastored two thriving churches in Tsimlyansk and Volgadonsk (near Rostov-am-Don, 800 miles south of Moscow).

In addition to serving the seminary, Gennady has a desire to plant churches in the Moscow area. Ina is a lawyer and has begun to work at the Slavic Center for Law and Justice, a Christian based law firm that specializes in helping churches and ministries caught in legal battles.
