Hope to People in Rivne, Ukraine...

The MDI mentoring and consulting team have just spent 3 days with Hope to People, a beautiful ministry in Rivne, Ukraine.  We had a wonderful time getting to know this exciting ministry that not only plants churches, works in Muslim countries, but also has a excellent regional outreach through orphan ministry, sports ministry and Christian Ethics in the public schools ministry.

It is always exciting to get to see the Lord's hand at work in person!

It was such a blessing to meet with the leadership team at Hope to People and we look forward to working with them in the future in whatever plans the Lord has in store for all of us!  Below are some photos from our time in Rivne. (the photos are slightly blurry due to a technical issue, but they will give you an idea of our time).

We are currently in L'viv, Ukraine, meeting with Greater Grace Church and New Life Church L'viv.   We have known these pastors for a long time and look forward to working with them in the following days. Yesterday, we spent the day working with Tanya and Sasha with Journey to Freedom Ukraine.


Please continue to pray for us personally, that the Lord would give us the energy we need for this journey and please pray for our meetings with leaders and that God would continue to use us as He has designed us.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
