A Chapter of Blessing

On December 14, 2018, amidst heavy snowfall, our plane finally touched down at the airport in Lviv. We were all exhausted and several of us were suffering from colds, but we were glad to be back home in Ukraine. God blessed our visit to America in many wonderful ways, and in this admittedly overdue report, we’d like to share with you a few of the highlights.
To the Ends of the Earth
Raphaël Villeneuve · November 27, 2018
Are you a Christian teen wondering where to head out in life, what God may want you to do? You want to find out, but you’re not sure how. If so, then you’re just like I was a few years ago. It may seem hard or mysterious, and you’ve probably heard someone say “God told me” or “God wants me to.” How could they possibly know? To answer these questions, I’m simply going to tell you my story.

For some of our readers, the completion of Good and Evil in Ukrainian may already be old news. 5,000 books were delivered to our office in Lviv on August 23rd, and shortly thereafter we published an announcement on the ETO blog. (You can read that here.) But as you may have guessed, there is more to tell.
Sharpening Arrows

There are days when I feel too exhausted to go on. Sometimes I think, “I have so many other ministries...maybe I’m stretching myself too thin with this kids’ class?” Then my phone rings. A child’s voice greets me from the other end of the line in the respectful Ukrainian “vy” form which makes me feel old. “Good day, Uncle Joshua! Do you have time for me to come over and recite my memory project?” And just like that, I’m back in the game.
Two Robes

“Wow, I’ve never heard anyone teach that before!” That is the response I often receive from Ukrainians when I have the opportunity to explain the concept of righteousness imputed by faith — the idea that Jesus’ perfect righteousness completely replaces my own and becomes the basis of my justification before God. (Romans 3:21–22, 4:4–5; Philippians 3:9)
Coming To America!

When last we departed America, Kathryn was only a few weeks old. She recently turned 3! Meanwhile, David has cleared the one-year mark, and he’s never been out of Lviv! Yep — it’s been a while, and we’re ready to see some friends and family face-to-face.
One Sunday Afternoon

The Bible First Kids class I lead at our church continues to be one of the ministries I enjoy most. We focus on Scripture memory, Sword Drills, and of course reading through the Bible First lessons together. And we have fun doing it! The kids range in age from 10-year-olds up to 15 and 16-year-olds.
