June, 2004

An annual English school took place in Kiev June 7-13. People from the existing groups and new people attended classes in order to practice their communicative skills with native speakers and discuss different spiritual topics. Every day was full of impressions. Don and Janell Robinson returned this year and Christie Lee and Kevin and Debbie Nelson participated for the first, but hopefully not last time in this school.

Based on the experience of previous school projects, people give their hearts to Christ as a result of these efforts. We hope and believe that the fruit of this school will come very soon.

Our big “IP” family is growing. With its growth, it has become more difficult to have close relationships with everyone. However, the advantages of a larger family include new ideas, opportunities, strength and energy. This year nine more people joined “International Partnerships”. There were many difficult tasks, interesting seminars and useful exercises at the Assessment conference June 30 – July 6th. All of the tasks helped the candidates get to know our ministry better, get to know each other and gain a feeling of the type of hardships that might be waiting for them in our difficult but very interesting work. As a result of the conference we have one new team that will start ministry in Vinnitsa.

God is faithfully sending men to His harvest, and we‘re invariably growing every year. Praise the Lord of the harvest! Amen.
