Yesterday a team of 11 people from our London church flew out to Poland, and then took a 5 hour coach trip (+ an extra few hours stuck at the border control!) into Ukraine to Lviv, where they will join up with our Every Nation Church there to take gifts to underprivileged families in the Carpathian Mountains. Over October/November we collected 600 gifts through our congregations in London and these have been shipped out to meet the team in Lviv.
This is the season for GIVING, and what a privilege its been to pray with my kids that these gifts will bless and show love to some of the poorest kids in Europe. As a church we feel called to “remember the poor in Europe”, and over the next while our eldership is praying to have clear direction of what exactly that means for us practically over the next 5 years.
Thank you to all who contributed to this LOVE UKRAINE trip, and thank you to all who will do so many things around the planet to demonstrate love to those less privileged. Its true what Jesus said: “Its more blessed to give that to recieve”
Wolfi, thanks to the saints in London who made this trip possible. These people in the Carpathian mountains are the poorest of the poor in Ukraine, and you all have brought them compassion and hope. God bless, Mike
