Ukraine 2015

Our Ukraine team leaves today for Odessa! We'll post more as the trip unfolds, but here's a great article on the current state of refugees from eastern Ukraine and opportunities for the gospel. Odessa has been a city of refuge for many who have fled their homes because of the conflict in the east and are looking for hope and stability. Our team will have a unique opening to share the gospel among university students looking for hope and answers in the midst of national instability.

Please pray for the ongoing work of Ukraine for Christ in Odessa and throughout the country. Pray especially today for interviews with students that will be joining the English Clubs and for safety and smooth travel as our team prepares to depart!

"The future is uncertain, but in these seemingly hopeless times, missionaries and national believers have been given a unique opportunity to share the source of their hope. Perhaps refugee Daniel German said it best, 'When things are normal, we expect safety, bread, and salaries to always be there tomorrow. When things fall apart, we realize that every minute is God’s gift.'"
