Dear Pastors and Friends,
Yesterday I asked Vitaly Yurchenko—who is both a church planter and Rector of our Seminary in Kyiv, Ukraine—to send us a video update that we could share with all of you. At the time of my request, even I wasn’t picturing the reality that he must shoot such a video by candlelight. I hope that you will spare 2 minutes to watch this short clip, where Vitaly discusses the current situation in his country and then more specifically their hopes for a winter session of the Seminary. Here’s the link:
At the conclusion, Vitaly expresses sincere gratitude to all of BIEM’s supporters for your financial sacrifices and daily prayers for Ukraine. Please accept my thanks also for continuing to stand with us and to help us use every opportunity—in season and out of season, in times of peace and times of war—to serve others and to glorify God and proclaim the Gospel.
In Christ,
Sam & Amy Slobodian
