Your contributions helped Sasha, the father of 11 children, provide opportunities for children and people in distant villages to hear the Good News, to hear about salvation by faith to Jesus Christ. He and his youth team, which includes many of his children, are happy to do this. Sasha sent us photos and a letter of gratitude for your help and prayers:
“Peace and blessings to you!!! On Sunday, our team visited people in villages who reach for God. We brought them food, read the Word of God, sang, told poems, prayed together… Thank you so much for your prayers and support of the ministry!!! God’s abundant blessings to you!!!!
We visited an orphanage, an older group of children. These are orphans from Kharkiv. We held a church service, prayed together with them at the end, saying the Lord’s prayer! We also gave them gifts. We sincerely thank you for this opportunity to help our neighbors as Jesus commanded us: !!! Luke 10:27: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Thank you dear Jesus for salvation!
Sasha’s wife joins five of their children, along with their youngest child, to share the Gospel in song.
In the meantime …
Many great things are happening in Ukraine while the war moves forward. The problem that many people may not realize is devastating. Each missile that is shot down will land somewhere, on something. The picture above is an example. A family is in the hospital because a missile that was shot down landed on their home. It destroyed much of the home, with the remaining portion burning, destroying everything inside. Imagine the hundreds of missiles that have entered Ukraine in the past two and a half years.Shot down, or not, they all had to land somewhere. This one landed in a village. Others have landed on high rise buildings, creating similar destruction. And this could happen anywhere ….
Along with the people who receive your help, Sveta and I appreciate the fact that you do everything possible to make life easier for others. Your prayers and financial support mean a lot to each of us.
