Rosa’s Testimony
OUR MISSION CONTINUES: Although COVID-19 cases are surging in Ukraine, our team continues to spread the ultimate message of hope – the story of Jesus.

Rosa was very touched to hear the Gospel in her native language, asked questions, and ultimately prayed the repentance prayer. We’re continuously amazed by how the Holy Spirit touches hearts so quickly! We visited Rosa again two weeks later and brought her a New Testament. She thanked us and we were able to meet her husband, Chenghis. Upon hearing the gospel, he repented as well! We are thrilled God connected us! Please pray for Rosa and Chenghis as they continue to grow in their faith and help us reach more unreached people groups by visiting here.
