Dear Friend(s) of SMS,
Warm greetings to you together with our sincere thanks for your prayer and financial support of SMS!
As we are already in the month of October, we are reminded how quicklyMay we rely on God's power and presence in our lives to keep us ready for whatever opportunity of ministry He puts in our way— and together, let's continue to pray for our brothers and sisters overseas, that they would rely not on themselves nor on our helping hand, but on "Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" Hebrews 12:2.
The 14th of October is especially meaningful in the immediate Leonovich family. This year marks the 82nd anniversary of our immigration from Belarus to the shores of America. Ours is among the thousands of names appearing on the tabloids of Ellis Island, NY.
As a family, we have never forgotten where we're from and why we are here. With God's help we are doing all we can while we can to reach our Slavic people with the Gospel of Christ. How grateful we are to the Lord for friends like you who strengthen our hands to make this happen. God bless you for all you have done and continue to do!
Sincerely & Gratefully —
Alex Leonovich,
Executive Director,
