Highlights of this past year. Together with our ministry partners, we have seen the Lord has enabled hundreds of Christian Ukrainian youth in this war-torn nation to think beyond their own needs and start reaching those who are needier.
• We have helped Artyom attend a conference in Germany where the Lord connected him with missionaries from Thailand. He will begin serving in Thailand himself, a just a few weeks!
• We have helped dozens of young seminary students prepare to serve the Lord as pastors, teachers and missionaries. Several of these have already served as short-term missionaries.
• We have enabled hundreds of youth in western Ukraine to hear God’s call to serve as cross cultural ministers: 66 answered the call to serve as missionaries, 113 committed to pray for them and 72 pledged to help support them financially.
• Now youth leaders from other areas are asking us to lead similar conferences in their regions. What a blessing!
We could use your help as we prepare our 2015 ministry calendar and budget. If God leads you, a gift would enable Cheri and me to continue training and encouraging Ukrainian young people to take the Good News beyond their borders. They are open! We are ready! Will you help?
