"Pray for Presbytery!" How often do you hear that? Our upcoming meeting on April 6-7, 2011, will deal with many significant issues, but some are LANDMARK moments in the growth of the church in Ukraine. I want you to pray for some of them in particular:

1) Growth: The Church Planting committee is proposing a system for assimilating independent churches and pastors who have become Reformed and want to join our church. This is important for our growth, when many churches that becamse independent in the 1990s are just beginning to realize that it is hard to be all alone and that Christ calls us to unity.

2) Self-Leadership: Several men are coming before Presbytery for licensure and ORDINATION! This is the "output" of seminary, and the key to expansion!

3) Self-Finance: It is also being proposed that the denomination create a MISSION FUND and a committee to organize mission work! They want to send missionaries to Ukraine and abroad!

This is what we seek -- a mature church in partnership with other churches for a Church-planting Movement--to live out the Gospel and spread the Kingdom of God!
