As I look at what God is doing
As I looked at what God is doing here, I stand completely amazed. This year I have felt in my heart that God is going to do miraculous things here. Last month at least 3 Calvary Chapels have changed from American run to Ukrainian run. Other denominations have also changed over as I hear different people talk. I think of how I have witnessed so much growth over the years.
The new pastor, Alosha, has been a pastor of a small town for 3 years. This is no small task. The town is very difficult spiritually but he has been able to start a small church of people who love God. As is common of new churches here, it mostly women. But they have a strong outreach to children and youth. Please pray for a pastor to take Alosha’s place. Right now because of his heart for his church, he will pastor the small church and our church until a pastor is found for the Bordyanka church.
Then this summer, the youth conference will return. Last summer there was about 4,000 youth who attended. I expect more this summer. My church’s praise band has been invited back to lead the worship. We do have an awesome praise band.
Then in 2007, I think in June, Franklin Graham will come. They plan to hold the crusade in a stadium which holds 80,000 people. This just blesses my heart. I believe that people will come from all over Ukraine for this. What a blessing to be here!
