Construction of the Gypsy Church in the Ukraine

Christian friends love prayer and funding helped build this church

The building of this church was a dream come true for Pastor Victor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This church stands in the gypsy village to show the community what God can do when people come together and work together in unity and christian love.

 

 

Europe’s second largest country, Ukraine is a land of wide, fertile agricultural plains, with large pockets of heavy industry in the east.

In the 1930s, Stalin’s agricultural collectivism in Ukraine led to forced famines, killing over eight million people within the “bread basket” of the Soviet Union. When the USSR collapsed, much of Ukraine fell into poverty and almost 40% of the rural population remains there today.

MEDIC Traveled to the Ukraine several times to try to establish Micro-credit for the Gypsy Community but it was not possable . ……..

While the government will not let us do micro finance in this country we are still able to assist sister ministries by finances, training,  and spiritual support to those in meed in the Gypsy villages in the Uzhgorod area of Ukraine.

 

Much needed food and household supplies for the gypsy community

Giving food to the needy

Training and support with food and other items shows the love of Jesus in many ways.

Congratulations to Brenda, Esmerelda and Angelinia for completing their courses in cosmetology. We are praying that God will help provide a place for them so He can use them to bless the community. Thanks to those who gave to help make this possible!!
