Reach Ukraine Update(emails I get about missionaries in Ukraine!)

Next week we will be partnering with local believers and a volunteer group from AL to have 4 children's camps.  In addition, we'll also be doing a construction/renovation project with one of the churches where we will be working. These will be done in a region about 3 hours from where we live. Two of them will be in schools; all of them are connected to local bodies that can follow up and try to involve these children after the camps.   Please pray for all our US team for strength and stamina. Pray for Holy Spirit to bring openness in the hearts of the children.  Pray for Mike and Linda coordinating these 4 locations. Report from May medical clinics... Our apologies for not reporting sooner from the medical Optometrist giving eye exam in clinics. clinics that were done in May.  We asked you to pray.  You did.  God answered.  In the 4 days of clinics we had almost 400 people come, and almost 50 of them prayed to receive Christ.  We'd like to share with you a couple of stories and photos from the clinics... Vasyl lives in Marganets. He was listening to our Ukrainian team Vasyl  share the Gospel with him attentively and in the endsaid,"Now I understand who is my Savior and Intercessor! I always relied on St. Mary's intersession and prayed to her, but now I know that only Jesus is the true Savior!" When Vasyl was asked if he would like to pray and receive Christ he answered, "I will happily do that!"       Larissa, Zinaida and Luda live in Novoaleksandrivka. They prayed to receive Christ Larissa, Zinaida, Luda after our volunteers shared the Gospel with them. Here iswhat they said afterwards, "You lit up a sparkle of hope in our hearts! We had known about God but for the first time in our life we heard how we could have a personal relationship with Him!"

Prayer Walking...asking God where and how... Prayer walking, asking God to reveal how and where He is working... For several of the past weeks we have been prayer walkingan area of our city to ask God about starting a church there. There is a group of believers (some of our group are very young prayer walkers) who are interested in seeing a work started there, and prayer walking is one of the most strategic and important things we can do to see where God would lead and how He might guide us.   Pray for the Visokovoltnaya region of our city, and for us to see where God is at work.

Reach Ukraine Update

Please pray this week for the medical clinics that will be done in 9 locations, over 5 days, in our region.  Beginning today, Sunday, each day we will leave the place we are staying, travel to a clinic location, set up the clinic, register people, take blood pressure and other needed services, receive them to the doctors, help with eye glasses, etc.  This is all done free of charge by believers who come to serve and minister to physical needs.

In addition to these acts of kindness, every person who comes will hear the gospel and have an opportunity to receive the greatest gift of all... salvation, and a relationship with the great Physician.  

The medical group coming this week consists of Native Americans, from various states in the US.  This is a first for us here, and a first for those coming in this group as well. 

Please pray for:

Strength, stamina, and wisdom for the group as they minister.

Ukrainians who will be sharing the gospel this week in the clinics.

Receptive hearts among the Ukrainians who come to the clinics that do not know Christ.

For wisdom and endurance for Mike and Linda as they coordinate the clinics.

Remind me who I am, Jason Gray

When I lose my way,
And I forget my name,
Remind me who I am.
In the mirror all I see,
Is who I don't wanna be,
Remind me who I am.
In the loneliest places,
When I can't remember what grace is.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
To You.

When my heart is like a stone,
And I'm running far from home,
Remind me who I am.
When I can't receive Your love,
Afraid I'll never be enough,
Remind me who I am.
If I'm Your beloved,
Can You help me believe it.

Tell me once again who I am to You,
Who I am to You, whoa.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You.
That I belong to You.
To You.

I'm the one you love,
I'm the one you love,
That will be enough,
I'm the one you love.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You, oh.

Tell me once again who I am to You.
Who I am to You.
Tell me lest I forget who I am to You,
That I belong to You.
To You.



In Him to who I belong!

A Dependency on the Father

In John 7 and 8, Jesus continuously refers back to His Father as being the one who teaches Him, and gives Him life. Jesus is taught by and is dependent on the Father. He also gives glory to the Father for helping Him and speaking through Him. If my goal is to be like Jesus in everything, then I need to be constantly depending on the Father for everything.

1. Jesus is taught by the Father 
2. Jesus gives glory to the Father 
3. Jesus is dependent on the Father for everything

My father is a constant encouragement to me. He is always trying to help me learn something. I believe that our heavenly father is just the same way. He is always trying to help us learn more about Him. Jesus said that His Father taught Him and spoke through Him.   It is my goal to be always taught by the Father and to speak His will. 

To give glory to the Father is to attribute everything that you do to the Father's name. Jesus never says, " I did this, or This was my doing only." He praised the Father for helping Him to be who He is.  My goal is to bring God glory, by always praising Him for who He is.

 To be dependent on the Father is to constantly turn to Him for help. I wish I could say I am perfect at this, but sadly, I always fail. God is teaching me to lean upon him and let Him be my guide. I am learning to pray over other believers when they need a verbal prayer. Sometimes verbally praying over someone can show them that you really care.

All praise to the Lamb who sits on the throne!

Revelation 14:7

New International Version (NIV)

He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

A Song to the KING

Revelation 17: 14
"These will wage war against the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is LORD of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful."

Revelation 19: 1, 5, 6b
"After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.'

And a voice came from the throne saying, 'Give praise to our God all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.Hallelujah! For the LORD our God the Almighty, Reigns. "
