Dear Friends,
Thanks to those of you who responded with great encouragement to our
November newsletter announcing our appointment with Greater Europe Mission.
We wanted to find a easy and convenient way to communicate with you on a
regular basis and would like to send you E-Roes updates every couple weeks
to update you on what God is doing in our lives and provide some of the
exciting information from the ministry we are joining.

For example, many of you are aware of the events in the Ukraine these past
months. This was an update from one of the pastors our E-dot ministry works
with.

“I am sure that you watch closely for the situation in Ukraine. It is really
unstable now. In spite of current situation I strongly believe that God
controls everything that takes place here. I know that this is only God’s
merit that people’s blood was not shed on the streets of Ukraine. But in
spite of the sad side of this event we have another side as well. Because of
all this political situation people’s heart are very opened to the Good
News. All members of Kiev churches of all denominations are in the Kiev
streets. They meet people from different parts of Ukraine, evangelize them,
pray with them, bring warm dress and food, invite them to stay for a night
at their houses and see them home. People disposed to accept the Good News
and many of them repent and go home with gladness in hearts. Enormous number
of Christian books, booklets, and brochures, New Testaments, Bibles were
distributed on streets. So, we have colossal evangelization. I know that
everything that happens here is in God’s will. I know that we do not have
influence on these events but we can pray to our Lord for our authority, for
giving them wisdom in accepting decisions, for the peace and stable
situation in Ukraine and we do it. I believe that you support us in the
prayer for our country.

“May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.” (Jude 1:2)

In Christ love,

Vladimir 12/3/2004″
