Trip #53 to Krivoy Rog, Ukraine, leaving Feb 10...

Hi everybody!

I am scheduled to leave for Krivoy Rog, Ukraine next Thursday, Feb. 10. Minneapolis – Amsterdam – Kiev - Dnepropretrovsk – Krivoy Rog. It consists of three airplane flights and one automobile ride, 24 hours of travel, each way.

I will minister to leaders, churches and the colleges. Please pray that I will experience continuous grace and anointing, in order to be a blessing in every situation. Jackie will remain home. Remember to pray for her as well.

Though it is trip #53 to our beloved Churches of Praise, it is never “routine”. This trip is a faith adventure as much as the first time we traveled in missions. We are dependent on the Lord and on friends like you to be our “senders”. As always, we have set the plan in motion by faith, and we trust the Lord to supply all that is needed.

This time additional funds are needed for new video equipment. I plan to produce videos of the school of the Blood Covenant while I am teaching it in Ukraine. We can’t personally teach all of the 200+ Churches of Praise. These videos, produced in a live setting, can go to many more places that we can ever go. State of the art equipment is now available at much lower cost and extremely compact for travel. We need equipment that will produce excellent videos in even primitive settings.

These videos which teach the foundations of life in Christ will be widely useable, now that electronics are almost everywhere. We will put them on the internet, on flash drives and DVD’s and anything else that becomes available. We are also planning to teach and video the Blood Covenant in several other countries and languages. It is for this purpose that new video equipment is needed now.

If you would like to contribute to this trip and this project, see the giving information below.

Thank you for praying for us. Prayer removes obstacles, increases the anointing, and brings about lasting fruit. No words can describe the high level of importance we place on your prayer. We have learned through experience that even the simplest, shortest prayer can dramatically affect us on the other side of the world!

With love and appreciation,
John and Jackie
