Merry Christmas! wishing you and your families more of Jesus today and throughout the year! May Jesus be the reason we celebrate everyday and out of the abundance of His love may we share him with others. Thanking God for you today and for your love for and service to our Savior Jesus!

 

Hello, it's almost Christmas! This will be my first year celebrating here in Lviv, Ukraine. Most Ukrainians celebrate Christmas on January 7th, so I am excited to be able to celebrate the birth of our Savior twice! This Christmas I want to invite you to put off everything that would take time away from you celebrating Jesus' birth and spending time with Him. We get so busy we can forget what is most important this time of year. 

Wishing you all His best gifts this year! May the Lord shine on you and your families and brightly through you to others. Much love in Christ, -Greg

here are some Christmas pictures of past celebrations in Lviv

please continue to pray for Ukraine, I'm not sure with the revolution going on what this Christmas will be like here in Ukraine.

Protesting in Ukraine

I want to ask for your prayers for Ukraine today, for it's people that want to be free from tyranny and apart of the European Union, for it's leaders that are trying to hold on to power and old ways of doing things, for people during this time to rely on Jesus, for them to come closer to him and seek him in their time of need. Please also pray for peace, for safety of the people as they protest. For the government and riot police to show tolerance to the people and not to hurt them as they have in the past. You can follow the EuroMaidan stories here

It's getting colder here in Ukraine! Can't believe it is already October, time just flies it seems lately. My schedule is full with running our social media ministry at church, helping with the new Horizon School of English  after school for the kids and then Thursday nights for the adults. I am also helping with our new School of Discipleship. It is a two year program of teaching adults basic bible and theology as well as showing them how to serve and lead in the church. We are excited about this school and the people attending. Please join in praying for them and our new programs. Thanks all for your prayers, encouragements and support. I so appreciate you and am blessed greatly. God Bless You and You Family :) -Greg

Summer Update from Lviv!

Summer in Lviv

Dear Family and Friends, Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers!... This summer has been a blessed time to serve. Our church has had a few outreaches in the park and also two weeks of VBS that have been Spirit lead and filled and totally miraculous. Our first outreach was aimed at reaching people through prayer. We also were able to have music, crafts, face painting, and Bible stories for the children as well as handing out many Bibles and church literature to the public. Reaching out to the lost in Lviv is a priority and I am looking forward to our next outreach!






We had two weeks of "Gold Rush" VBS here at New Horizons Lviv! What an awesome time sharing Jesus with the kids!

David Pisacane from Horizon came all the way from Indy to bless us and help with VBS! He was able to share Bible stories with them and more importantly the love of Jesus! Thank you David! What a blessing you were to me and everyone you came in contact with here :)
