The 23rd missionary conference has begun in Rivne, Ukraine. The topic is the words of Paul “So that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it” (2 Timothy 4:17b, NIV). Everyday, starting from January 21 to 28, 2018, the Christians, who care about fulfilment of the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ, will gather at the Biblical Missionary Church “Good Shepherd Community”.
On Sunday service, the ministers of both “Good Shepherd Community” (Rivne) and “Source of Life” (Zdolbuniv) churches preached on God’s view on mission. The participants of the conference could also listen to the testimonies of missionaries from Ukraine, Armenia, Russia, and Central Asia about wonderful acts of God around the globe, and pray a lot. The church members had a great chance to get to know the missionaries better during the lunch at their homes. The evening service was dedicated to the outreach to Kurds, who live in the hard-to-reach mountain villages of Armenia and practice Yazidism. It is the immense mercy of God that He saves people from the nation that directly worship the stone statue of melek taus (very beautiful, but at the same time very evil angel).
Praise God for the good time to spread His Kingdom in Ukraine and around the globe. Please, pray that He sends more workers to the nations that have never heard about Christ. Join as the harvest is plentiful!
