Mission Trip Updates...

(We were unable to access our website at all from Ukraine - so now that we have arrived safely in Israel, I will begin to catch up and post all of the exciting things the Lord did in Kiev and Chernivtsi! Thanks so much for your faithful prayers and patience!!!  We're grateful to be back on line and hope to post regularly from here on, by God's Grace)

 About 80 young people showed up Saturday night for songs, testimony and sharing about growing up into Christ.  It was a moving time for all of us!  At the end I asked those who had a desire to be fully committed to Christ and His purpose for their lives above all else to stand up in front of everybody!  Nearly everyone stood, so I asked them to sit down and consider what that would mean for them personally without regard to what any one else was doing that night.  When I asked those who wanted to be committed with their whole heart for the rest of their lives to stand- this time, as far as I could tell, every person in the room stood for Christ!   I have spoken to many of you about how powerfully God uses your prayers before we ever show up and last night was one of the most meaningful of all!  They want to continue what happened Saturday night with another meeting tomorrow night, Monday, the 13th.  Please pray with us for the Spirit's Presence and that what He has begun, He will bring to completion in every one of our lives!

In the first picture, Jerry is teaching at a coffee house and then you’ll see some of the brothers after an exciting night at the Coffee House! We met these sweet girls at the Coffee House last year and it was so fun to see then again! We also met with the Mayor of Chernivtsi and Jerry preached at the Village Church. Hope you enjoy getting a glimpse of Farm Life at the Discipleship House. The last photo is of the Patriarch of the Kushnir family and a prisoner during the Communist years for serving Christ!
