Visit to Kyrgyzstan



Recently, I went to visit my missionary friends who are church planting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. I left on the 10th of January, thinking that I was just going to see my friends and the work that God is doing there. I returned on the 17th with a confidence that the Lord is calling me to join the work there. Throughout the week, my heart changed and for many reasons, I see that God is leading me to move there sometime this year. It will be difficult to leave my brothers and sisters in Christ here in Ukraine, but it's my prayer to see the family of Christ grow as I participate in God's work to transform lives in Kyrgyzstan. I consider it a great privilege to be able to share the name of Jesus with people who have never heard it, in hopes that they would know the Joy that He is. One day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. May the day of salvation come quickly for those in Kyrgyzstan who do not yet know His name.
