This week’s ministry update 9/23/03 includes a medical project which is taking place in five locations this week. These five locations are places where some of our Ukrainian partners are working with a goal to start new churches. The churches in each place are in various stages of development and various sizes.
All but one of these churches have no permanent meeting place as of yet, and the clinics are taking place in all types of buildings and locations, such as could be arranged. As the medical personnel treat the needs of people, others are preaching, witnessing, and distributing New Testaments and tracts to those who come while they wait to be seen by the doctors.
The team working this week consists of members from a church in the Nashville, TN, area, along with Ukrainian doctors, interpreters and other helpers.

They are treating medical, dental, and optical needs. Before the clinics ever take place, much advance planning and coordination is done as meetings are held, locations are determined, helpers and interpreters are enlisted, medicine and literature and supplies are purchased, meals and lodging and transportation are arranged, and much prayer been lifted up to the Father.
On Monday 290 appointments were registered to the different doctors, representing about 180 different people. That day the small town the clinic was being held in was celebrating the 60th anniversary of their liberation from the Nazi’s during World War II.
- Pray for the people
in the towns where the clinics will be held this week, that the gospel
will be heard, understood, go down into the hearts of the people who
come to the clinics.
- Pray that the young churches in these locations will gain more credibility in the eyes of the local people, who generally think Baptists and evangelicals are a cult and not of the Christian faith.
- Pray for the Ukrainian Church Planters working in the places where the clinics were held.
