Natalia Kynazeva Interview

Natalia was born and grew up in Central Russia east of Moscow.  Her father was a Colonel and her mom is a math teacher. Natalia’s Jewish grandmother on her mother's side, Havah, had to hide the fact that they were Jewish because her whole family was murdered in 1918. When Natalya was 13, she found out that she was born with a heart defect, and needed a heart surgery urgently. Right before surgery,  God sent her the same dream with John 3:16 in it 3 times.  She had never read the Bible before,  but believed God and prayed to receive Yeshua into her life right after those dreams.  She promised to follow Him and serve Him all the days of her life if He let her live after her surgery.  He gave her life and she has been serving Him since then. Today Natalia and her husband serve at City of David Messianic Congregation in Toronto, Canada.
