. . . and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
(Romans 5:5)
Enduring Faith: Joy in Adversity
In Kiev, Vasily and his team are ministering to orphans, local children and those in poverty through Summer Camps. By sharing the Gospel, the team is planting seeds of faith — even in the midst of chaos.
Even when it looks like nothing is happening, God is at work! Pastor Alexander labors for Christ in a village in Belarus. He is working to ensure that the truth of Christ is heard on all of those “regular” days.
God is greater than anything Satan can do to hinder our progress. In Ukraine, SGA-supported pastors like Vadim are working hard to serve internally displaced people in spite of facing almost insurmountable challenges.
No greater example of the transforming love of Christ exists than in the lives of orphan children. In this story from a former Soviet nation, witness how the church is ministering to abandoned children through Orphans Reborn.
The Gospel is so extraordinary that a dear brother risks his life to take this message to a village at the border of a Muslim country. He shares the Good News with children during an SGA-supported Summer Camp ministry.
When the Holy Spirit fuels us, we’ll even praise God in the darkest of times! Pastor Oleg wanted to fill his service with that kind of praise this past Easter. And one young girl stood out for her desire to lift her voice.
