"After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, 'Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.'" (Acts 14:21) 

Though today most would prefer the adventure of new places and excitement of new ministries, where would any of us be without those who stayed behind to strengthen the souls of the disciples?

Please pray for an exciting new ministry named "Spiritual Partnership."  Just as the apostles saw the need to return to towns to strengthen the souls of the disciples so our ministry team has accepted the mission to return to smaller churches in rural locations to strengthen the disciples and pastors. The photo is of a recent strengthening ministry trip to a rural church about 100 kilometers from Kyiv.  Pray for our ministry as we prepare for our first pastor's conference to take place in April.  Pray for the Lord to strengthen His disciples serving in rural locations.
