We also took a little side trip into Italy to visit some historic sites like <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tToymOtSAo8\" target=\"_blank\">Pompeii<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/z3yThIcF3dM\" target=\"_blank\">Rome.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Refugees:<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>All our refugees have dispersed to different areas of Ukraine. A large group went North to a different facility in Donetsk region, while others remained in Odessa but found other housing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>We are still planning to visit some of these refugees and appreciate your prayer for them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Church:<\/h2>\n<p>Our church is still working through some doctrinal issues related to demons and healing. I appreciate your prayers for me as I am responsible for teaching in our church. It can be very difficult to balance correct doctrine while also working for the unity of the church. I need great wisdom!<\/p>\n<h2>Good Soil:<\/h2>\n<p>Last Sunday I participated in a missions conference in Kremenchug, Ukraine. This Church has really grabbed the idea of missions and pushing forward, exhorting their young people to give up their lives to follow Jesus and to bring the Gospel to other nations and people!<\/p>\n<p>Several of the youth encouraged me with their desire to go into missions full time!<\/p>\n<div>We have started a new Russian language blog called <a href=\"http:\/\/blagovestie.today\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Evangelism Today&#8221;\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0The purpose is to provide helpful teaching and to exhort believers towards Biblical evangelism and discipleship. I&#8217;ve been spending much time lately writing articles for the site.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you know of any Russian speakers who could benefit from Biblically based evangelism and discipleship would you send them a link to our new blog?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Finally we have just started the process of translating our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodsoil.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Good Soil<\/a> material into Ukrainian, currently we only have Russian. This will allow us to minister to Churches in Western Ukraine.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you&#8217;d like to know how you can help with this project, send me a note and let me know.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night we chatted with a bunch of you about life and ministry here in Odessa Ukraine.
