Buryachok, 2014 2nd Quarter Updates

The warmest greetings to you in the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

We are very much grateful to the Lord for you and for your prayer and financial support of our ministry. It means very much for our ministry and gives us a possibility to dedicate our time to preaching the Gospel, especially during this very hard time for our people and nation. May our gracious Heavenly Father richly bless you and generously provide your every need!

Thanks to our Lord, our family is doing well, although my wife’s health has worsened again. Please, join our prayers for this need. It may be dangerous, but we trust our Lord.

We also have a special request to pray for our country, so that God will grant us peace and so that bloodshed will stop. Pray God to protect our people. Recently the political and economic condition in our country has significantly worsened. In addition, people from the eastern regions of Ukraine had to leave their houses and look for refuge in other regions of Ukraine. Even our small church hosted three Christian families of refugees who have little children. Our congregation supports them as much as we can. Please, pray for these families – they have not their own dwelling and, in addition, their children get sick often.

Telling about the ministry of our congregation, I want to thank our Lord for creating a very good team of ministers in our church (photo 1). Thus, a family of brother Daniel has joined our congregation not so long ago and this year they already visited public schools and evangelized to children. At the same time my wife and I had an opportunity to hold camps in other places. In this way we could serve in four villages. This year children have been especially open and many children responded to the invitation of repentance (photo 2).

We rejoice that our teenagers are also very active in ministry – they prepare puppet plays and with this evangelistic program we visit schools and kindergarten (photo 3).

At present we are getting ready to hold the Tent evangelization that we plan to hold this summer. We pray for the blessing of this ministry, so that we will be able to do it, because until now we have had many problems from the local authorities. We also ask so that the Lord will help us organizing the camps for women from our church, for children from the day center and for youth.

May the Lord richly bless you and reward you for your open hearts and for your support! It is a great blessing for us. May the Lord richly bless you! It is a great blessing for us to serve the Lord together with you.

With love and respect,

Ruslan Buryachok
