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.
