Thanksgiving here in Ukraine was a blast to say the least, especially with no power, no water, and daylight hours more closely resembling daylight darkness and flurries. My team and I, as well as many other friends were present for an amazing time of fellowship and celebration of the Lord’s provision. I hope that your holiday with family and friends was as joyful as mine. 

 

In the past few weeks the team here has been starting to re-focus and continue to adapt to the ever changing nature and execution of the war. With the harsh impending winter, and need for aid increasing in some places and decreasing in others, we have also been shifting to a more intentional and personal approach. Pray that our outreach, although met with simple yet significant obstacles, would be effective and successful. Pray that people would receive hope through accepting Christ. 

 

We have begun to pinpoint our focus to villages in and around heavily torn / difficult to access areas. Because of the war piled on top of an already long list of hardships, many men and women will not survive this winter. Some will freeze, some will starve, and some may die at the hand of oppression. Pray that our witness would touch these people through the work that we do and the words that we say. 

 

Thank you for sticking with me, and for your continued love and support. Here are a few links and photos from the last month and a half, including an excerpt from CBN.
