ICM Russia Crew just returned from a trip from a city of Ternopol, Ukraine! The traveling time was 8 hours on the train in a very stuffy compartment! Olga and I have been there before... and know how good it is to come back home!
The missions trip went very well! The journey took a team of two men to Ternopol, Ukraine to do an Inductive Bible Study Seminar with our host Pastor George Markey, of Calvary Chapel Ternopol. Eugene and Igor did Level 1 and Level 2 seminars so that people who want to serve the Lord and minister to people could learn how to lead a Bible Studies in their homes and teach through the Word in their churches. ICM Russia team had an enthusiastic group of mostly committed Christian workers at the seminar from a couple of churches in Ternopol. They were very responsive to the teaching, especially to the message that the church today needs to hear the Truth of God's Word. The enemy has invaded many churches with lies. Truth sets people free, lies lead to bondage.

The group that decided they want Level 2 was composed of mostly lay workers and a few pastors. It kept Eugene and Igor busy training and equipping them to prepare their sermons and outlines for their Bible Studies! The weather was cold but praise God for His strength each day. Pastor George did a wonderful job of organizing everything. He participated in starting Calvary Churches in Ukraine from his early childhood and the Lord is using him, his assistants and their families in a wonderful way! In Ternopol we had a good group of black students and Christian workers who caught the Inductive Bible study concept.
Thanks for praying for this trip! We greatly appreciate all the prayers! The country of Ukraine is filled with corruption which has also invaded the church. Pray the Ukrainian Church will teach the truth of God's Word! Thanks again and blessings to you all!
In His Joy,
Igor and Olga
