We are excited to announce that on November 11th at Lake Forest Church, the Lake Forest Church Band will be holding a benefit concert to help us raise the remainder of our needed support. It will be from 6 to 7:30 PM at the church (see the website for directions).
We hope that many of you that are in the Huntersville, NC, USA area would be able to join us for a some great music. Also, we hope that many of you wil bring your friends.
We are just shy of having 80% of our monthly support committed but time is a wasting and we believe God has called us there sooner than later. So we have changed some of our fundraising tactics. We have already raised all of our need funds for actually making the move over there and getting our apartment set up and stuff so now we are going to still seek people who want to partner with us on an ongoing way but we are also looking for people who want to give one time gifts. These one time gifts will be added up and to make up the shortage in our monthly committments. Once we have enough to make up the shortage for the next two years, we will be cleared to leave for Germany.
So please come out to the concert on November 11th. We will also be doing some other fundraising efforts in the near future so we hope you will be able to participate in those.
For our prayer warriors out there. Please pray:
- Pray that the Benefit Concert will be a success. That many people will come and enjoy the music but also be prompted by the Holy Spirit to participate financially in our ministry.
- Pray that people will bring friends to the concert, people that we would never have met before and that the Spirit would move in them also.
- Pray for our eDOT team as they are working right now with a few technical volunteers but are needing a full time technical geek (like me) on site soon.
- Pray for our family as we enter into the holiday season still not knowing when God has for us to be in Germany but are living daily in dependance upon Him.
Thank you all and God bless!!!
Vladimir’s earnest face communicated the intensity of his feelings about the new distance learning program at Kremenchuk Bible School (KBS) in Ukraine. Though a teacher himself at the school, he realized that many people in his church would never have the privilege of studying full time at a resident school. He recognized that distance learning was not meant to replace Bible schools but is an innovative way for serious believers to study God’s Word and receive training while working a job and ministering in a local church.
about 300 people. Recently he learned that several men in his congregation were taking a New Testament Survey course through the new distance learning program at KBS. He was impressed with the opportunity the men had to fit the course work into their schedules and then apply the truths of the course immediately in their ministries at Born Again Church. Eagerly he shared with the eDOT staff his appreciation for the efforts they had made to bring these resources to Ukraine. 
Churches are being started at a rate greater than 150 per year. Church leaders, such as Vladimir, concur that the growth is so rapid that there are not enough trained leaders to handle these new believers. The most significant need of the evangelical church is the training of pastors and leaders for new local churches. Through our partnerships with Bible schools and other mission agencies in Ukraine, eDOT is poised to offer valid, flexible, inexpensive yet effective training through distance learning programs.
