Compassion Ministry in Crimea

Peace and grace be unto you, dear brothers and sisters! Thanks to God’s mercy, we continue our ministry in the new Church of Grace in Simferopol.

A couple of weeks ago, the Lord gave us an opportunity to visit the frontline territories. We arrived at Golaya-Pristan in southern Ukraine and were accommodated for a night’s rest. We formed several teams and went to places where there was no gas or electricity at all. People still try to survive there. We cooked pilaf, packed food sets, and went.

There were about 50-60 people waiting for us at each point. We sang and shared the Gospel, gave food to people, and talked. We gave out everything we had. While traveling between the needy communities, we had worship services in the churches that remain there. We had 15 worship services in four days.

I really saw God during the trip. I saw the power of God’s Spirit in the words of my brothers and sisters. I saw the healing hand of God when we prayed for a sick lady, and she felt well a few hours later.

I saw God when He protected us from different threats. I saw God at work, and I will remember it all my life. We continue to travel twice a week, to meet those who are fleeing from the war.

Thank you, dear brothers and sisters, for your prayers and the help you always provide to our family and ministry. May the Lord bless you, our dear people!
