Proclaim His glory!

Around 1000 staff from Eastern Europe and Russia

In January we had a regional conference for our staff from Eastern Europe and Russia. We gathered to hear from each other how God is working in our region, support each other in difficulties we face. The theme of this conference - Proclaim His glory! We prayed together and trusted God the awakening among our nations, we set goals in the ministry for next 5 years.

Back home alive!!!

Russian staff praying over Roma

 The presence of Roma at the conference, our new staff who was called this summer to serve in the east, was a special event for us, Ukrainians.  Just before the conference their platoon was released and he was able to go with us. Just a couple of weeks after Roma and his soldiers left the place of their location the area was destroyed by explosions. God has particularly saved Roma and the guys he is responsible for. He told us how he lived at the battle field, where talks about death are very real, when there’s no means of refuge except God. During the attacks some soldiers were trying to be closer to Roma, because, as they said, "Roma is closer to God, He will protect!" Very soon Roma will go back to the battle field. Please pray for his safety in this dangerous time, and for those boys who hear from him about God, so that they are reconciled with God at this life.

 "O our God, wilt Thou not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on Thee."

(2Chr.20:12)

My family (even my cat
 made it for the picture=)

My recent family reunion was a miracle from God. My parents are divorced and have not spoken to each other for 12 years. My mother became a Christian, she goes to church, and my dad doesn’t. While I was away he stayed at my apartment and fed the cat - he regularly came to my church by himself and read all my Christian books. When I returned to Odessa, a week ago, we all went to church together and after the service spent time together: we ate, talked and played games. I have not experienced anything like this since my early childhood. Praise God for how He helps parents to forgive and reconcile. Pray for my dad to repent and get saved.

Pray for the beginning of this semester in ministry among the students. In February we will attend conference named: Price to follow. Let's all pray for those students to be united for what would change the future of our country – leading people to God.
