A blizzard hit Ukraine just a couple of days before we planned a big outreach for the community. Sunday, January 8th is the day after Christmas here and it is when we planned a large Christmas festival in our church yard.
Blessings to You in 2017
Dear friend,
May the God of grace and mercy increase your blessing in 2017
May you learn more of Jesus love and speak more of his kindness
May you walk closer to the Lord’s side and lead others to do the same
May you find greater healing in God’s Word and may that Word spill out into the lives of others
May you know the depth of Jesus love and may others see that love in you
Christina and I thank you for standing with us in the work of the Gospel here in Ukraine during 2016.
The Real Story of Christmas for Orphans in Ukraine
I’m still recovering from the flu but I couldn’t wait until I was completely better to tell you about this story that we are giving to 500 orphans this Christmas!
I Didn’t Expect That!
We were all just standing around after the service chatting with each other, it’s a small village church so I know mainly everyone there except for one or two new faces.
Why This Church Is Trying to Get Rid of Its Youth
I often hear pastors complaining about how so many youth leave the Church after they graduate from high school. Youth pastors especially seem to live in fear that a diploma in the hands of their once vibrant young disciples will turn them into hard and fast sceptics who can no longer find time for church.
Our Church’s 1st Missions Conference
I’ll admit, planning our church’s first missions conference made me both a bit anxious and excited.
We weren’t sure how people would respond and who would show up.
