“Please, would you let us stay inside your house tonight?” Mama was talking fast through the closed door.
“I have no room for such a big family,” the voice from inside said firmly.

Living in the Soviet Union under cruel, atheistic communism and growing up during World War II, Mikhail Khorev saw much suffering and death. Often homeless and near starvation, he struggled to believe in God’s love. Mikhail grew to be a man of God, willing to suffer prison for the God who loved him. You, too, will come to realize that everything we can give to the Christ who saves us is still a small price to pay.
