Today, January 22, marks what would have been the 76th birthday of Father Aleksandr Men', had he lived to see today. I have spent the last two years of my life dedicated to studying his life, and he has been a great inspiration to me. Thank God for his faithful service to the Soviet people in the face of difficult hardships, his courageous preaching of the Gospel despite opposition, and his absolute love for and dedication to Jesus Christ.
