Vera Sopelnik September-October 2015



Hello dear brothers and sisters.

I want to share with you some news.

1.Bila Tserkva.

As you know, we moved to Bila Tserkva. It’s a town with long historical heritage. There is a river Ros’ that runs through the town. It’s a very nice and clean town. The most important thing is that Christians from the local congregation welcomed us.

2. Visit of American brethren.

There is another good news. Our American brethren come to teach at the Bible institute and to support us in our work. In September and October we had Denton Landon, Patrick Gallagher and Jim Sherman visiting us. We are grateful for your prayer support and care. It’s very valuable when Christians are willing to overcome the difficulties of travelling; who leave their families and visit their brothers and sisters in Christ, encouraging us by their example.

3. Bible classes for kids.

I have started ministry for kids in Bila Tserkva and restored the work of the Bible school for kids “Sunflower”. Each time I try to tell children about Christ. The class usually consists of a Bible lesson and crafts. I get help from several Christian ladies. Lindsey, Jim Sherman’s granddaughter, visited us, and she taught several wonderful Bible classes. That was a wonderful time together.

4. Bible classes for ladies.

The congregation in Bila Tserkva has lots of women who love to do crafts. I decided to start with them another ministry – it’s Bible class and crafts. We meet on Fridays, chat, have some tea, do crafts and talk about God. There are ladies who are church members and some other ladies. We make presents for the congregation and for one another. That makes us feel closer. Ladies help me with teaching the classes. I hope our work will be useful.

Thank you for your continuous prayers. My family and I feel your support. I pray God to bless your families.

With love in Christ,
Sister Vera.
