We urgently share with you our prayer request, which cries out from our hearts. We believe that whatever we ask in His name, we will receive. We trust in the power of prayer, and a “cord of three strands” is a rope reaching to Heaven.
Our ministry is expanding, and opportunities to bring more fruit to Him are multiplying—especially in children’s ministry. The work is there, and it can grow, but we lack a dedicated, responsible person who would wholeheartedly commit to it.
We regularly receive visitors who serve for a month or two, and the ministry moves forward and develops. But when they leave, we are left with the responsibility of continuing the work they started.
Currently, we have at least three locations with about 70 children, where we organize active games, study Scripture through films, and do Bible-themed coloring activities. Our church today has around 30 Russian-speaking members, but only five dedicated servants actively participate in ministry.
We are praying for local people to join us in this mission. We are waiting for an answer and trusting that the Lord will provide.
Beloved friends, we share this cry from the heart with you. We deeply thank you for your prayers and support in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, spreading the Gospel of God’s grace in Southeast Asia.
I have great expectations for 2025 and believe that the Lord has something special in store for Lebanon and all who live here. This month has been filled with events, meetings, and opportunities to serve people.
One of the most joyful moments was the visit of a family couple. For a week, we worked together for God’s Kingdom and had the chance to serve others.
One of the warmest and most memorable moments was a soap-making workshop. It not only gave women the opportunity to learn a new craft but also created a space for communication, friendship, and trust. We met new women, heard their stories, and shared the love of Jesus Christ. Some were familiar faces, but this gathering brought us even closer.
Many shared that in the busyness of daily life, they rarely have time for socializing. For some, this workshop was a rare chance to step out of their routine and be among like-minded people. One young woman, who recently moved to Lebanon, admitted that for the first time, she felt like she was among “her own people”—with those who speak her native language.
Camp ministry is a unique way to impact lives, share the Gospel, and equip the next generation. Through this ministry, children and youth hear about Jesus from their friends, breaking the misconception that faith in Christ is something foreign. They see and feel Christ’s love through familiar voices, relatable stories, and in their native language.
“Camp on Wheels” is a ministry that organizes day camps for children across Thailand. We have already held a 5-day camp in northern Thailand for various tribes and will continue running camps in March, April, and October.
Join us in this ministry through prayer and financial support. Each camp costs about $1,000 for 50 children, covering camp supplies and a simple daily meal. We aim to reach 300 children in the first two camps. Your support will help bring joy, hope, and the Gospel to children who desperately need it.
We are grateful for your partnership in this mission. May God bless you as you pray, give, and join us in bringing His love to the next generation.
A brief update on the situation in Ukraine and our ministry. This week, there were terrible missile attacks on major Ukrainian cities—Odesa, Sumy, and Poltava. Russian forces are also close to capturing two major cities in eastern Ukraine (Sloviansk and Kramatorsk). Because of this, new refugees continue to arrive in our region.
We plan to continue serving these people through humanitarian aid, psychological support, children’s education, and more. Please pray for our team. Despite exhaustion, we keep serving and believe that this will lead many to salvation.
We ask for special prayer and support for our daycare ministry. Since parents need to look for jobs and work, they need a safe place for their young children. That’s why we have started working in this area.
Our plan is to renovate two rooms and turn them into children’s spaces. Only a few final repairs remain before we can fully use these rooms.
We are grateful for your prayers. The estimated cost to complete the renovation and purchase the necessary furniture is $800 per room. We would greatly appreciate your participation and help in making this project a reality.
We were able to visit the prison several times again and share the Gospel. It is amazing how hungry people are for God’s Word, especially when they are in confinement.
As seen in the photo, the conditions in which people are held while awaiting trial are simply inhumane. We help them with food, Bibles, and basic necessities like soap and personal hygiene items. However, this is just a small drop in the ocean, as the need is overwhelming. Thank you for continuing to preach the Gospel to these prisoners through your financial support!
Unexpected situations also happen frequently, with people knocking on our door day and night seeking medical help. Often, on the mission field, you are the 911 – an ambulance, police officer, and priest all in one. I cannot express how grateful I am to the Lord and to those who funded my Medical Missionary Intensive training several years ago.
Thanks to the skills I gained from that program, I can help people like the one in this photo. While I was stitching up a man’s eyebrow, Eugene was preaching the Gospel to him. Please pray for his repentance!
Many people have heard that Jesus was born, but they don’t understand what it means and how this event affects their lives! We decided to use this time and worked hard during the Christmas holidays.
We visited four orphanages, the children’s oncology department, the children’s hospice, and gathered orphaned children for three Christmas performances. In total, we distributed 600 gifts to children, and all of them heard the good news about the Savior. Over 100 medical workers attended the events and also heard the Christmas message.
On Christmas, we visited Apollo, a child who had been in hospice and was in critical condition. With your help, we managed to help the child get back on their feet and even return to their family. Today, we continue to help the child by visiting them at home. It’s truly a miracle. I prayed for Apollo to survive, and not only did he survive, but he also returned home to his family.
Just yesterday, we returned from another city where we visited Sonya! She is now 16, and it turned out that all this time, the girl had been suffering abuse in her foster family. We were able to help her return to the orphanage, and now there is no longer any threat to Sonya’s life.
