Praises – Rejoice with us!

BIEM’s Eugene Buyko and his family completed 6 weeks of speaking in churches and schools in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Washington state. We asked you to pray for these meetings, and God blessed. See this link for a few words of appreciation from the Buykos: https://vimeo.com/765053627
News from Central Asia: “Ruhollah, who was a Shiite extremist, was caught, tortured by the Taliban for months, escaped, got into Pakistan, and was caught and deported…. He trusted Jesus Christ as his Savior this morning. He is still in Afghanistan, and his life is in danger; but praise God, his eternal destiny is now sealed by the Holy Spirit.”
Tim, a BIEM missionary now in Ukraine, reports that, despite drone attacks, over 250 youth from all over Ukraine—including from war zones—attended a 3-day youth rally. Their songs of praise to God were a stark contrast to the hum of drones backed by air raid sirens.”
In Ukraine, civic authorities awarded our Rock of Salvation Baptist Church with a Certificate of Gratitude for active assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and to the local population during the Russian occupation of Chernihiv. By God’s grace, this church’s good works shine for His glory!

Prayer – Pray with us!

Russian missiles and drones have damaged up to 40% of Ukraine’s energy grid. BIEM had already provided generators for a good number of churches in Ukraine (our main hubs for distributing aid). But now we plan to supply more generators to churches. Please pray for those believers reaching out to neighbors with Christ’s love as temperatures drop.
Our missionary Igor Fomichov is now in the U.S. visiting supporting churches. Pray that God will use him and his testimony, not merely to inform people about the dire situation in Ukraine, but also to bless them and motivate them to prayer and an ever-closer relationship with the Lord.
Our most recent 40-ft. container of humanitarian aid arrived at the port in Gdansk, Poland, on October 23. The paperwork for its delivery to Ukraine is complete, but the shipper hasn’t moved it, possibly because its transport was negotiated at a cheaper rate than commercial cargo. Please pray for its delivery to Ternopil, Ukraine.
Please don’t grow weary of praying for the war in Ukraine to end. We rejoice at reports of lost souls accepting Christ because of the war, but we pray for an end to the killing, atrocities, and destruction.
