Praises – Rejoice with us!
If all * For the past month, the visiting Buyko family has had wonderful church services in several states. On weekdays, they’ve accomplished a tremendous amount of work in BIEM’s warehouse and helped load our latest aid container. They fly home on Nov. 4. We thank God they could be with us!
As an addition to the Praise item above, this month for the first time BIEM can offer a beautiful, professionally produced CD of the 3 Buyko sisters singing Christian songs in Ukrainian and English. Learn more about that CD on our website: BaptistInternational.org/shop.
Our recent Challenger featured a camp for disadvantaged kids from Kherson. To further help the Kherson church reach out to this community that was so severely ravaged by Russian occupation, BIEM’s Pasha Usach solicited potato donations from his area. Could BIEM help transport potatoes to Kherson? Yes! As it turned out, the potato donations filled a huge semi-truck! Pasha and volunteers personally delivered this valuable cargo. Praise God!”
On October 21, our third container of war relief for 2026 left BIEM to begin the journey to Ukraine. We praise and thank God for each pair of shoes, each coat, each garment, blanket, walker, chair, table, wheelchair, and the medical supplies friends donated. Because of you, ministry is happening!
Prayer – Pray with us!
Our missionaries in Armenia managed to hold 2 children’s camps this summer. Vitaly says, “Each week in Yerevan I disciple a small group of Armenian brothers who dream of planting new churches.” Please pray for this couple in their outreaches and as they improve their grasp of Armenian language.
In answer to prayer, BIEM missionaries Vitaly Yurchenko and his wife Olena will arrive later in November for a month-long visit. Like the Buykos, the plan is for them to represent BIEM by speaking and singing in churches and sharing live updates. Please pray for smooth travels.
Vitaly Bilyak, the BIEM church planter who was suddenly drafted into the Ukrainian army, continues to serve both God and country. Although he still hopes for release from military duty so he can resume ministry in his church, he continues to hold services and witness to the soldiers around him. His commander has come to trust him and gives him jobs like driving soldiers to the hospital for treatment.
Our missionaries to Central Asia, the Smiths, are facing multiple health issues, which are affecting their ministries. Please uphold this family in prayer!
