For weeks, evangelical churches across the lands of Russia have been praying for their annual Christmas outreaches, culminating in Russian Christmas on January 7. Slavic Gospel Association sponsored Immanuel’s Child outreaches will be a key part of these evangelistic efforts. We eagerly await their wonderful reports - which sometimes do not arrive until later in the spring due to the remoteness of some locations. As several SGA sponsored missionary pastors relate, the fruit of the previous year’s outreaches often lead to further ministry opportunities. In Lyubashevka, Ukraine. the Lord opened doors for us among the local Roma people. After we conducted Christmas services last year, a Roma woman named Kalava allowed us to conduct a group Bible study in her house. We have these studies every Saturday. About ten adults and the same number of children are attending, and we are planning to start a children’s ministry in this village. Every time, some new people come to our study. They open their hearts, telling us of their worries and problems.

Pray: that the churches' outreach will lead many to find Jesus as Saviour. (2Sa.22:47)
