In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35
“Since this house is open to everyone, it receives the sick of every type and condition: the crippled, the disabled, lepers, mutes, the insane, the paralytics, those suffering from scurvy, and those bearing the afflictions of old age, many children… And for all of this no payment is requested, yet Christ provides.”
John of God (1495-1550) in Letter as recounted Milton Walsh in Witness of the Saints: Patristic Readings in the Liturgy of the Hours (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2012) 489.
One stop on our journey in Ukraine includes preaching and encouraging relief workers in Kharkiv the first Sunday in July. Specifically we will take financial aid to Andrey Kravtsev.
Watch this 10-minute video to see how he came to Christ and how God has used him to minister to those displaced by the war in Kharkiv and Saltivka in the name of Jesus.
He’s a close friend of Michael and Nina Cherenkov, with whom Jenni and I will travel. Give to GTP here. We will take aid to Andrey and many other Christian workers like him.
We trust Christ to provide for our trip. Andrey trusts God to supply so he can serve the needy for no payment. Pray that relief efforts like Andrey’s can remain open and safe to serve.
