This Sunday after getting home from church we received exciting news. 5 of our students who attended ‘Compass’ have received Jesus as their LORD and Savior!!! I wish more exclamation marks could convey our immense joy! We can’t wait to get back to them. Since starting ‘Compass’ in January we have waited for the movement of the Spirit, and some of these people we have waited for 4 years to see God working in their lives, sometimes less patiently than others. To my dear friends in Ukraine, and to my new brothers and sisters, we love you and can’t wait to come home to chase God together with you!!!
With our new addition to the family we decided it was time for a new family photo! For those with kids you know it’s not easy to get all of them to smile normal at the same time. Thanks to Tracy Thiele for making this our best photo EVER! (Check out Tracy’s site at www.godswondersphotography.com)
Lauren Noel Gainer was born on March 11, 2014 and has brought so much happiness into our lives. She’s going to be a talker, and is already trying to get into the conversation, but knowing her parents, this genetic trait was inevitable! Click the photo for more pictures.
We have changed our website and we are really excited to bring a site to you with more information, pictures, and videos about God’s mission through our family in Ukraine. Please feel free to check it out at: www.gogainers.com. Thanks to the amazing John Smay, we also have a new video which you can check out at: http://youtu.be/6BBQwOCtjj0
Pray for Ukraine. The news politically has been getting increasingly worse, but God is sovereign over all.
Pray that there would be peace, but more importantly that Ukrainians would come to know the inner peace that passes all understanding that is only found in Christ Jesus.
Pray that our ministries would be amply supplied to care for Ukrainians in the massive financial crisis.
Praise God for those who have come to know Jesus as their personal Savior. Pray for their protection that they would not be snatched away, and that their faith and relationship with Jesus would grow daily.
