Dear Pastors and Friends,
Greetings in Christ! This month's video comes from Desna, Ukraine which is the military city where BIEM has planted a church. About a year ago Igor Fomichov, who pastors there, started a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center as a ministry of the church. God has greatly used this ministry, and already many have been delivered from Drugs and Alcohol through placing their faith in Christ.
Recently one of these men, Vlad (short for Vladimir) followed the Lord in believer’s baptism. In this video, you will hear how he came to Christ.
Currently, there are one dozen men in the program which is housed in a home that has been provided rent-free until this upcoming Spring. There is a need for a building that could serve as a permanent home for this ministry, on a lot that would be large enough for the men in the program to grow food as well as raise pigs and chickens. There is a large, unfinished, three-story home, for sale in a spot that would be an excellent location. Originally the asking price was $65,000 but now it is available for $28,000. Beyond that, at least another $25,000 will be needed to finish the building just to the point of occupancy. Please pray that God will supply the funds needed for this purchase. Any donations toward this would be gratefully appreciated.
In Christ,
Sam & Amy Slobodian
