yodisjan20Merry Christmas!
It took nine months for the virgin Mary to birth the Christ-child. It is difficult for us to fathom the creator of the universe being enshrouded in His creation for such a length of time. Wow! What great love and humility it took for God to become man and we are the unworthy recipients of this great love and grace. So with grateful hearts, we want to wish you the very best of birthday celebrations this Christmas season.

Nine months ago, God gave us the idea of commissioning a work of art that could stimulate the conversation about the mission of Christ to seek and to save the lost and our role as believers in that mission. The process was unexpectedly extensive, but now, nine months later, the project has finally given birth and the results have been greeted with great enthusiasm.

We have a team of people ready to begin creating discussions throughout Ukraine with this painting and asking the church, two very important questions: What do you see in this painting? and Where do you see yourself in this painting? Maybe these are questions for each and every one of us. Here is a copy of the painting with the question in Ukrainian, "Where are you in this painting?"

What you can do to help:
·     Pray that each poster and card that finds itself into a church or home will cause the believers in Ukraine to re-evaluate what God would have them do to reach the lost and help start new churches.
·     Give to help provide materials such as posters, commitment cards, banner stands, etc.
·     Praise the Lord for His marvelous works. As one man recently said, "Five years ago, you never heard about church planting in our churches and pastor meetings. Now it is one of the main topics on every agenda."
Thank you for praying!
