Regardless of a tiresome, brutal, and bloody war is going on the ministry of Christian Mission Hope to People has not come to a stop. We believe that it is the pure grace of God!
Please take a moment to read through the news from Rivne, Ukraine, as well as the news from the mission sites.
The LORD reigneth;Psalms 97:1
There Is Hope!
For almost 20 years straight, a new soccer season for young players of Christian Soccer Club Nadiya – (Nadiya means Hope) had been starting every spring on the property of the Christian Mission Hope to People. That’s how it was before the war…
Ministry of the Christian Team SKY
While the war goes on, our ministry to refugees and people in need also goes on. The head coach of the Christian floorball team SKY, along with brothers from local churches, travels to combat areas to evacuate people, rescuing their physical lives and preaching the Good News of how to receive eternal life in Jesus Christ.
Christian School
Against the background of the moral decline of the modern world and the deviation of people from God’s values, Christian education for children and young people is becoming increasingly important. In our facilities at Solomia Krushelnytska Street, 71, we’re planning to launch the Christian school under the name Worldview. On September 1, this coming school year, we’re looking to open the doors of this school to students of grades 1-5, with the prospect of starting a full-time middle and high school level of education, God willing, we’ll invite students for new enrollment in grade one. Please pray for this joint project of the churches Grace and Community of the Good Shepherd in Rivne, for the renovation and for the proper reconstruction of the building, which has to be adjusted to the needs of the children’s educational institution – there is still a lot of work to do.
Evangelism Near the Sea
In June, our co-workers held an outreach camp for families with handicapped children on a beach. In total, there were six such families in the camp. For five days, they were meeting twice a day to study the Word of God. Our hearts were overjoyed as we saw the camp participants, adults and children, listening to us carefully and asking questions. The children were involved in various activities and many of them especially liked crafts. And of course, everyone had an opportunity to swim in the sea and apply the thermal mud. On the last day of the camp, there was a campfire, where everyone could talk for a long time, sing, and share their life stories. We are grateful to everyone for their prayers and support! Thank God for such an occasion!!!
Iranian Ministry
Our minister and his family are in Germany now, serving people in a refugee camp. Through the media, he continues to preach and disciple Persian believers in various countries, hosts a Christian program on Iranian YouTube television, and prepares a book by Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life for publication in Farsi. Please also pray for Brother S., who served the Iranians. Due to numerous threats, the Iranian church was forced to stop their gathering. Please pray for God’s protection for their family and church!
Uighur Ministry
Our minister to Uighurs is thanking God for all the blessings and for providing for his family. They work with the local church in the diaspora. Every Friday, they get together with brothers to study a short course on how to take apart and interpret the Bible on their own, how to apply it properly and then preach the gospel to other people…
