Small Group

Well tonight was exciting and I just wanted to share about it with you, my friends and family. A few weeks ago we started a group in our apartment for young people… they are between the ages of 15-19 and we have had 9-11 people each time. It is wonderful! We actually had to buy more mugs this week and for next week I think we will need to find a few more chairs. I am glad to have and really praise God to have such a problem as this! For group we usually start with games, then tea and cookies, and then we have an English/Ukrainian Bible study. Tonight was the first night we had a Bible study and everyone stayed for it! It was great to read the Bible with them in English and then in Ukrainian. To listen as they tried to understand what it was saying in English and so, of course, they had to understand what the Bible was saying in general. Please pray for this group. The Bible is God’s Word and I know it can and will do great things in the lives of those who hear it.

Isaiah says in 55:10-12

10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.


We know and trust that the Bible will do what it says it will do, and without it and the power that is in the Word of God, we can do nothing! Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I can’t thank you enough! Thank you Calvary and Pat Marder for getting together and sending us some Bibles so we can continue to minister in this way! We love you all and miss you. God be with you and Bless you! Oh…. And don’t forget to read the Bible for yourself!

Other prayer requests:
- We could really use a printer for our ministry in Horodok.
- Sebastian and I are still without internet which can be hard sometimes.
- Alona and Andriy, missionaries living and serving with us in Horodok, are in need of a baby bed as they will be having a baby in the next couple months!
