From the Heartland to Odesa
Later this month, our Regional President Steve Krier will travel to Moldova and Ukraine with Thomas Slawson, Associate Pastor at Faith Baptist Fellowship. After attending our Cultivate Conference last year, our Ukrainian brother, Aleksander Dimov invited Steve and Thomas to minister to Ukrainian church leaders at a similar conference in Odesa. The generous giving of the Heartland churches and families provided funds for ALL the church leaders to attend! Thank you!
As you know, the war with Russia has had great impact on the Ukrainian church. For over two years now, believers have supported refugees and people suffering unimaginable loss all while often persevering through the same difficult circumstances. Many church leaders have been called into military service, leaving roles in local churches open.
But God is faithful! He continually brings forth new ministers to his people. These new ministers need encouragement, training, and fellowship – all things that this conference will provide!
Please pray for Steve and Thomas as they travel – for safety, rest, and health. Pray for the conference – traveling safety for the church leaders, encouragement, and hope for the future.
