"We want to get started before the Lord comes back!”

This was the response of one pastors to a tentative timeline for starting a pregnancy care center in Odessa, Ukraine. As missionary Holly Friesen reports, "This was of course spoken in jest so you can ignore the theological implications of that statement – however, it does express the excitement that was present in the room today as we presented our desire to see this type of ministry started here."

At this meeting with pastors in early May, Holly shared with them from her experience with this type of ministry in Peru and another missionary presented the steps that should be taken if they were interested in seeing this type of ministry started. "My expectation was that we would have some convincing to do. Quite the contrary! We practically had to convince them not to try to open a center next week! God has obviously been preparing hearts." Please join them in prayer that they'll have wisdom in knowing how to channel the excitement and keep the momentum going while at the same time taking the proper steps to make sure this ministry has a great foundation.
