Praying friends, Greetings!
It is hard to believe that we are writing on day 1515 of the Ukrainian-Russian war. For more than four years, Ukraine has been defending its people from relentless attack. Several days ago, a very large Baptist church was deliberately targeted and destroyed by a guided missile. The psychological and mental fatigue of being constantly bombarded and never feeling safe has left many hopeless. They are afraid to go to churches for help because they, too, have become targets. Pray for Ukrainians ministering in Ukraine to find creative ways to give the Hope of the Gospel during these extremely trying times. Thank you for continuing to give so that we can use humanitarian aid as a tool in our arsenal.
We want to thank you for the encouragement you have sent our way. We have had several meetings with supporting pastors and their wives this month. The Lord used them to lift our spirits. We have received several letters from Sunday school classes and pastors on days where we were feeling the weight of working with war refugees and being displaced ourselves. These letters reminded us that we are not alone and that many are right there with us in the fight. Oleg received a letter from a noted theologian in Ukraine expressing gratitude for the books he is translating into Ukrainian. We are grateful to the Body of Christ for their encouragement. Thank you for taking the time to write, but most importantly, to pray and support our family!
Please continue to also pray for the following:
- A soon and just end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, today is day 1515;
- Wisdom, spiritual endurance, and physical safety for our family as we minister to many needy and hurting people; that the Lord would give clear direction for future ministry opportunities;
- For the Raleigh, Miami, Washington DC, and Canadian church plants/Bible studies to grow;
- For our Ukrainian team members not to grow weary in doing good; Every night they are attacked by drones and missiles.
- For the immigration status of Ukrainian refugees to become more stable; for the fear and instability that many are experiencing to be used of the Lord to open their hearts to the Gospel;
- Favor with churches and individuals as we contact them to become missionary partners, as we are undersupported;
- For our son Simon as he gets a summer job, learns to drive, and grows in his relationship with the Lord.
- For our daughter Abigail, who is not making sound or Biblical decisions.
Thank you for praying! Thank you for supporting and encouraging us! We are so grateful to have you on our team! Praise the Lord for the Body of Christ!
Sincerely,
Oleh and Lori Enskyy
