The following short video gives you a glimpse of a church in Ukraine where one of our contacts by the name of Vasya has distributed hundreds of our God's Powerful Promises booklet. Many of these people don't have Bibles, so this is a welcome provision for them. 

Dean Bible Ministries has been printing thousands of these booklets in Ukraine in their language ever since the war broke out. Faithful people, like Vasya, have been driving them to locations such as this. This church is located in the town of Kramatorsk which is 15 miles from the war's front lines. Please be in prayer for these people.

Romania

Today, Pastor Dean and Jim Myers spoke at a Roma church in the village of Gulia, Romania which is a Christian Church According to the Gospel Maranatha. Dr. Dean reports being very warmly received and the congregation very much desires for them both to come back soon. The Brethern pastor of the church is looking into transcribing and translating the Light from the Light videos so they can be subtitled in Romanian. 

They have two more churches scheduled for tomorrow in another nearby village.
