December 2020 UKRAINE MISSIONS Newsletter!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pavlo writes these encouraging words: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSadly, the lockdown threw a wrench into our plans for 2020 but we will try to catch up in 2021. Even with the lockdown\u2019s restrictions we distributed tons of humanitarian aid (medical supplies and equipment, clothes, shoes, food and many other things). If we try to write down all groups and people that have received benevolent help from the Church, the list will turn into a large volume. You should have heard all the words of thanks and encouragement addressed to us and our Lord when we give without charge the items desperately needed. If you heard these words you would have gained a positive emotional charge strong enough to last you many years!<\/a> As we look back at all that was given to the needy last year our heads are spinning and our soul overflows with joy when we see the love and care shown by God\u2019s children to those in the Region. Indeed, this is how we know that we gather our treasures in heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the midst of earth\u2019s trials, tribulations and turmoil it is encouraging to get reports of the positive impact YOU are bringing into the world. I\u2019m working on a construction update and we are pushing to be assembling in the building this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you know of others sharing our compassion please have them contact us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n THANK YOU to all involved in this amazing work! <\/strong>(\u201cYou shall fully open your hand,\u201d Deuteronomy 15:11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n John L. Kachelman, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the PDF report for December 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n
