UKRAINE MINISTRY BLOG 6 - Location: Khmelnitskiy - Dawn of Life

Privileged WE ARE!  We had the opportunity to celebrate two Easter Sundays!  One in the United States and the second one here in Khmelnitskiy, Ukraine!  Both were great times, but being a preacher and having the honor of sharing the Word at the conclusion of the Easter Celebration here at Dawn of Life just make it special – SPECIAL!

But what made it EXTRA SPECIAL were the five people who came forward to testify they had received Jesus during the congregation prayer at the altar service.  Then to top that off, six more came forward to testify of the healing power of God upon them during the Saturday evening service.

One of those said that while he was praying for another person, God healed him.  A lady raised her arms to demonstrate the healing of her arms and shoulders.  I can’t remember the others, due to my language problem (It isn’t that I cannot speak – but I cannot hear – but I am not deaf – nor hard of hearing) it is the result of the Tower of Babel – I blame them!  But the “Spirit” testified to me of the validity of their testimonies and the shouts of praise brought the second witness testimony — Praise God!  I can hardly wait to hear the other testimonies.

One lady told of the 3 or 4 opportunities she had after the service to prayer for sick people, either in person or over the phone.  I think she caught the message!  She is part of an “Invasion of Healing” by believers.  I believe she believes she is a one of those of whom Jesus said, “...these signs shall follow those who believe...they will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:17-18).

Yet one other privilege Marilyn and I had was to spend the evening meal with a beautiful teen, Corina Kudin, she is the oldest daughter of Rostic Kudin (Assistant Pastor at Dawn of Life)  who was with us at Life Church almost two years ago).  It was a our joy just to have the opportunity to share her dreams and confirm them as well as encourage her to continue the direction and allow God to unfold her destiny step by step.

GLORY!

Now we can spend the rest of the evening resting – along with completing some necessary laundry.

Thanks for reading – praying – and share the Blog with others.

God bless,

Dr D & Marilyn
