Journey Of Faith Newsletter Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Greetings from Kiev, Ukraine where Jesus is Lord! I wanted to begin this letter from Ukraine, as my heart is so overflowing with excitement of good news. This trip has been so successful in the Lord. We arrived in Kiev and immediately boarded the train for Mukachevo. We ministered in one of the larger Gypsy camps for several days. Sunday morning I was taken to the city of Tachiv, located about 2 miles from Romania. The church services were wonderful and the Holy Spirit was present. The people are so open to God's word. Take a look at our April 2002 newsletter with photos of this missions trip. I later boarded a train back to Kiev to spend a week, teaching on evangelism, at the Bible College. The students are so eager to learn God's word. Their desire is to preach the gospel in Turkey, Israel, and many other nations. They have students attending full-time from five nations, Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Armenia and Belarussian. They will return to plant churches in their home countries. In this months' newsletter you will find pictures, that I pray, will give you a better idea of the work you are sending us to do. Also included is a "Thank You" letter for medicines distributed by our ministry into the Gypsy camp. This ministry is reaching around the world to prepare God's people to minister His word. We, as always, are seeking the lost to tell them about Jesus. Kathy and I are so grateful for our partners who have caught the vision God has given us. As you prepare your financial seed this month, ask God for direction for the amount He would have you to sow. Please keep in mind that I will leave for Ukraine again, April 23rd. Mark your calendars, and keep us in your prayers. Your faithful and immediate response is greatly appreciated. As always Kathy and I want to say thank
you for your love and support. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
