Ukrainian Drama Outreach: Part 2

"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace. Who bring glad tidings of good things!"
Romans 10:14-15 NKJV
[This guy stood watching the skits for awhile and then later stood for some time reading the Bible we had given him.]
We were so blessed during this outreach because all total there were five different fellowships that sent individuals to help us out. From CC Roudnice Pastor Milan came and used his gift for evangelism to speak to the crowds that gathered to see the skits. (Milan's son was there making sure Dad stayed on track!)
Petr and Hunza came from a fellowship outside of Prague to help translate, along with Igor who joined us from the Russian language fellowship here in the city.

In fact, we have been told that there are appr. 130, 000 Russian speaking people living in the city of Prague. 100,000 alone are from Ukraine.
Here Yanna, the leader of the drama team translates as Jason talks with Sergei, a Ukrainian now living and working in Prague. Pray that God would continue to speak to Sergei's heart!

Finally, there was the drama team themselves, a gift sent on loan from CC Kyiv, Ukraine. We are so thankful for not only those who came and served with us, but also those who stepped out in faith and sent them. Please pray that God will strengthen the team as they return to Ukraine after a draining week here and the long bus ride home.
Pray that God would bless the different fellowships that sent folks to help out, and that God would continue to build unity among the Body of Christ here in Prague. Also pray for the many Russian language speakers here in Prague and for what our part might be in ministering to them.
