Daniel 4:2 KJV - "I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me." We are very happy to share with you some of the wonderful things you have helped our ministry do recently in the country of Ukraine. |

Ukraine is endeavoring to lift itself up after being under the yoke of communism for 70 years. The people were taught for those many years that God was dead. Now they are experiencing the freedom and outpouring of God?s Spirit in their land. Churches are opening everywhere. We have personally, on our recent mission trip there, planted two more churches, making a total of 64 churches in the former USSR in the Name of Jesus and with your prayers and support over the years. These in turn, have multiplied into many more. We give God all the Glory! In addition to this, we have taken on 15 more workers with a partial support of US$20.00 per month so they can carry on the ministry of evangelism. The reason we are supporting 59 workers in Russia and Ukraine is that there still are great financial difficulties. We believe, some day soon, this will change but until then we need to assist these workers.

15:19-20 |

The cost of planting a church is from $2500.00 to $5,000.00 US dollars. Assisting a worker is from $20 to $100 per month depending where they are living and working for the Lord. The cities are more expensive than rural areas. Most local churches still have to rent locations for their services. Many of the buildings we have purchased are houses that local churches convert to church buildings. We have been paying about 90% of the cost of purchase but require them to remodel the buildings. |

This is a great blessing and step for them to have their own land and building. It also shows the people in the town or village that the ?Local Church? is there to stay. It gives them credibility. We have, by faith, once again purchased 16 more buildings for churches on our recent mission trip to Ukraine. This now makes a total of 86 buildings we have purchased with your help in the past 12 years in the former USSR. |

Not one of them has our name on it or belongs to us. Each one is given to the local church! We want to only build for the Kingdom of God! |

During our last school, we gave out some of the last of our books ?Secrets to Successful Christian Living? in the Russian language. It has been a blessing to many. We have heard many wonderful testimonies from those who have read the book. One woman who was saved recently, cried as she read the book in Kharkov, Ukraine. We have placed an order for another 5,000 copies to be printed at a cost of $2,400.00. We give them out free in our schools, seminars and to workers in the former USSR. We do charge $5.00 each to the rest of the world as in North America. As we sell them, it helps defray some of the expense of printing them. The needs are great in Ukraine and elsewhere. We thank God for your prayers and faith support. Sometimes people say, ?How do you do it?? We do not know, except we know in whom we have believed. God is our source and we give Him all the Honor, Glory and Praise! Please continue to pray for us. Our ministry will, God willing, touch lives on 5 continents this year. I believe that our ministry has been a Work of the Grace of God. We want to do all we can, while we can. We do not want to build any earthly kingdom, but only build for the KINGDOM OF GOD! God bless you and yours. |
