We just wanted to share briefly with all of our blog followers about how the Lord is faithfully moving and drawing people to Him.
As many of you know, we've had church planting on our heart as one of the primary reasons we came to Ukraine. With this vision the Lord gave us, He lead us to Donetsk almost two months ago. When we first visited Donetsk this summer, we didn't know a single person in this city. However, we are here to testify that the Lord is faithful to provide everything that we need and made it possible for us to follow His calling that He has placed on our lives.
He has brought a so many people into our lives since we arrived in Donetsk. People that we have been able to minister to, and people that have ministered to us. God continues to make His calling in our life possible. We just want to encourage you all to continue to walk steadfastly in Him, following His calling because of what we have seen Him do, we know that His promise from Romans 11:29 is so real and true. "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable" Romans 11:29.
God placed this calling for us to plant a Bible teaching church here in Donetsk and He is seeing that calling through. We're amazed daily by His faithfulness.
With this being said, we wanted you guys to rejoice in the Lord's goodness and faithfulness alongside us. This past weekend, we held our first service/fellowship/Bible study that is the beginning of something new and fresh in Him!
The Lord led us to being this church by studying through Acts (we think it's an awesome book to begin with so that we can study how the early church functioned). So this past weekend we invited a number of people to our home for worship and the Word (and of course awesome food and fellowship).
An amazing sister in the Lord came last weekend, and the Lord really blessed our time. Please rejoice alongside of us and pray for the weeks to come as we continue to study through Acts and try to reach out to more people.
Blessings

Prayer needs:
-We are searching for an office space to rent hourly to hold the service (we want the location to be in the center of the city so it is more accessible for people, our apartment is about 20 minutes away from the center).
-We have a few potential translators that we will be meeting with in the near future. (We're praying for a translator so that we can invite people who don't speak English).
-We are praying about beginning an English club that will allow us to meet more people and begin relationships with them and invite them to church.
