Sow your seed in the morning and do not be idle in the
evening, for you do not know whether morning or evening sowing will succeed, or
whether both of them alike will be good. Ecclesiastes 11:6
A New Ukrainian
Believer Have
you ever done something for God and wondered why more didn’t happen? You
wondered, “Did I pray enough? Did I show them the love of God? Was I filled
with the Spirit and faith?” Danelle and I were living in Ukraine, and that’s
exactly how we felt after an exhausting week of sowing the gospel in Dimitrov,
Ukraine one summer. We knew it was a battle, with no hot water, and cold water
for only 2 hours daily, etc. The general apathy and defeated attitude among the
residents also zapped our faith. But, as Ecclesiastes 11 tells us above, God is
always working, even if we don’t know
when! He always does more than we can see
or imagine. Here is an example of God doing more than we imagined and in His
timing.
Mindy
Henson (a missionary friend in Kiev) wrote us recently, “We heard from Igor
Tunik, in eastern Ukraine. This is a photo of Vitalik (on right) - he was one
of the children at the camp where you all went with David, years ago. He heard
your testimonies and the gospel. Tomorrow, he is getting baptized as a new
believer! Praise God!”
All
of this wouldn’t have been possible without your support and prayers. Thank you
teammates!
