“Nikki” is what we have affectionately dubbed our Nikon D40 camera. Every Tuesday, she goes with us to English Club and Bible study to help document the evening’s events. The following are a few of her shots from recent weeks.

God is continuing to bless this ministry–we are building good friendships and people are hearing the gospel preached. Please continue to pray that those who are coming would repent and believe in Christ!

We had our core group of men show up last night for English Club and Audio Bible Study (ABS)! As time has passed, we feel we have really gotten to know this group and that our friendships are steadily growing.

Each week, the Word of God is preached and they are staying to listen. As we teach the Bible, we feel it is paramount that they understand we are not just another religious group putting forth our own ideas about the Bible, trying to dogmatically convince them of our personal views. Rather, we make every effort to show them that anything we teach comes directly from the Word of God, a source they can easily access for themselves. With some simple studying they can know for themselves exactly what the Bible says and whether we are indeed speaking truth.

Last night, Joshua did a great job of laying out simple steps to studying the Bible and drawing accurate conclusions about what it teaches. We hope that this message will benefit not only those who were present, but many others who will hear the recording of it in the days to come.

This week at ABS, Jessie Beal taught on the authenticity of the Bible. It was a great message, and one that is certainly needed in our day. One of the main ideas that we try to communicate to people here is that the Bible is our final authority in every area. While many Ukrainians acknowledge that the Bible is a “holy book,” few have any real knowledge as to the many proofs of its divine inspiration.
