His Star Brought Light To The Manger,

His Cross Brought Light To The World

Another year is almost finished. We look back and reflect on the wonderful works of the Lord. The results of His grace and mercy, through His power, are seen in the lives of many new Believers in Ukraine.

The Light reveals the Glories of the Cross, and it is shed abroad in the hearts of men and women. Wherever the Word is heard and believed, this "Miracle Light" illuminates the lives of that believer. The star shone in the heavens, and could be seen by the shepherds in the fields, and by anyone who looked in the direction of the star. It came and stood over the manger where the child lay, and brought light to the stable. But the Light of the Cross cannot be seen by the human eye. It is the Spiritual Light that shines in the dark corners of the mind, into the dark places in the heart, and into all the shadows of a sinner’s life.

No this "Spiritual Light" cannot be seen naturally, but the results of this Light can be seen by all in the lives of individuals. We are humbled, and thankful for each one that has supported the work in Ukraine this year. There has been a great harvest of souls. The Youth Camps have resulted in changed lives for many of the Ukrainian young people.

May the Lord bless you as you continue to support and pray for our Mission in Ukraine.
