Just returned from a weekend retreat
I just returned from a weekend church retreat. I went with about 50 people from a local church. I traveled about 90 kilometers to the west of Kyiv to a retreat center. I had a refreshing time personally with the Lord and building relationships with other believers. The church is praying about hosting a discipleship class in the fall semester. The highlight of the weekend was the water baptism of three new believers. I would like to say thanks to all those who allow me to participate in what God is doing in this part of the world. Please pray for this church relationship to continue and to bear fruit.

Disciple Making Ministries is networking at a pastors conference in Kyiv, Ukraine
This week Disciple Making Ministries has been attending a pastors conference in Kyiv, Ukraine. It has been a blessing to meet believers from Ukraine and South Korea. I was thinking to myself about the influence that this group could have if each person would disciple just three others to make disciples among their family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, classmates and local churches. Pray for us to make contacts that would result in multiplying disciple making movements internationally.
Excuse our technical difficulties with the podcast feed
