Dear Missionary Team Members:

       Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for your prayers and gifts! I have been encouraged by your support and help in reaching Ukraine for Jesus. You are vital to spreading the Gospel to those who are hungry for the Real, Living, and Active God. It is an exciting time in Ukraine’s history as you might have watched the News about President Yshenko visiting the USA. Spiritually speaking, it is exiting to know that the door for ministry is opening wider in Nations like Ukraine.

In the month of April, I spoke in 5 different churches and the response from Christian brothers and sisters was wonderful. In May and June I have another 7 churches to speak in! However, July and August is not yet booked, please continue to pray for more churches to join in. If support continues to grow in like fashion, I should make the goal of moving full-time to Kiev, Ukraine by this September.

We are still working on getting ACH withdrawals established for this ministry – for those who have asked about it. Thanks for your willingness to send checks or credit card numbers in the meantime. One-time gifts have been adding to up too. J We need a little over $10,000 saved up for moving costs to Ukraine…and so far around $2,600 has built up.

As some of you might know, missionaries have to have their monthly support at their goals before they can leave. The goal is $2,000 monthly support, so far, we believe around $1,000 monthly has been pledged. However, it is difficult to know for sure because some people have pledged and not yet given. Personally, I know feeling of “stealing from Peter to pay Paul”, but I don’t want any misunderstandings either. If you have pledged but are waiting to give until after I move to Ukraine, then there is no way to count your support now (besides it’s saved for moving costs). If you simply don’t have your pledge one month, just send a check for a few dollars, that way we know you plan on giving but are currently short. And if you changed your mind, just drop us a note.

Thanks again for being a partnering with us – remember YOU ARE VITAL!

In Christ,
