About

The Lviv Church is blessed with their own building and is the only Ukrainian church where the MTW missionaries have been permitted to remain full-time on the field.

 

While Lviv is on the Western border of Ukraine, it still has still been the target of russian missile attacks. The city has received thousands of displaced persons, and other thousands of young men and women have left to fight, while still others use Lviv as a place to meet up with their families who have fled the country entirely.

 

The Lviv Church is the key energy behind the Crates For Ukraine collection.

 

There are many people to whom the church can minister! Pray for them as they continue their child and University student ministries and also for the Mothers’ Bible study that they are starting.

Pray for

  • Growth for our college ministry (RUF) volunteer group as they seek to serve students
  • Encouragement, wisdom and strength for our Ukrainian RUF 2nd-year intern
  • As always — for the Lord to be preparing men for the offices of elder and deacon. Pray also for future pastors for present churches and new church plants in the denomination
  • The Lord’s continued work in the hearts of a few couples in our congregation who are working through significant challenges in their relationship
  • Wisdom for men in our church who can be called up into the military as they navigate daily life and constant uncertainty
  • The lord’s protection and care for our Ukrainian pastor, Vasyl, his wife, Vika, and their four adopted boys

Praise for

  • The Lord’s continued protection of church members — in the military and in Lviv
  • A recent baptism (see pictures below)
  • A monthly mom’s group led by two very capable women who have moved to Lviv because of the war. It has been a great encouragement to moms who are eager to stay and talk!
  • More men attending a weekly reading and discussion group — in person and online
  • The new members class is under way! Pray for clear teaching and for growth in the attendees’ lives
