Dear Pastors and Friends,
Having just returned from Ukraine, we bring you warm greetings from many believers who are sincerely grateful for your prayers and support during this difficult time in Ukraine. Our camps in Ukraine are in full swing now, with many more campers than expected. In some places, they have double the amount of youth they expected. While this is a challenge, our folks are greatly blessed that it is now evident that the decision to go ahead with camps despite the war was a good one that will have eternal results for the glory of God.
This month's video update comes from one of these camps, where the church in Zdolbuniv obtained a property outside the city for a campground two years ago. They have steadfastly transformed this property into a functioning campground, something BIEM was glad to help them with. This summer was the first time they were able to use the location for camps. This month's video update features children & youth worker Pasha Usach sharing the blessings taking place. One of the most exciting developments is that a group of nearby residents has begun to regularly attend services each Sunday on the campground. Brother Pasha and the other believers are excited about the potential of a new church being established.
In Christ,
Sam & Amy Slobodian
