The SMS missionaries of Lutsk and Rozhische, Ukraine gathered together for a time of sweet fellowship with Rob Zapotoski, SMS International Field Coordinator, this past month in the home of Benjamin and Larisa Rubahka. It was a wonderful time of reminiscing and reflecting on the past years of Christian ministry in Western Ukraine.

Each missionary shared a special memory of ministry. All marveled at the manifold ways that God has used this small band of servants to accomplish great feats of faith. Then, discussions turned to the future. Many ideas were expressed concerning outreach projects and new ventures of evangelism. Finally, a time of prayer followed.

These families from the Volyn region of Western Ukraine are extremely grateful to God for the many individuals, families and churches that have assisted them in their labor for the Lord. Without this partnership, it would have been impossible to accomplish so much progress.
