Conditions In Ukraine<\/strong> The refugee problem is ongoing. Families and orphans have recently been discovered living in buildings with dirt floors, with inadequate winter clothing and food. We are assisting Pastor Rostyslav in addressing these humanitarian issues with vision and resourcing. We are seeking aid from our church contacts in Estonia and Finland. Pastor Rostyslav is demonstrating diligence and great compassion for these people. New ministries are being birthed in various cities and new churches are being planted in the region. The new women\u2019s rehab center is in the final stages of completion, and we will dedicate it soon.<\/p>\n God Is Visiting Scandinavia<\/strong> Deborah and I conducted our 40-hour School of Ministry associated with Advantage College in two Finnish cities. We graduated 51 church leaders with a Diploma of Ministry. Once confidence in our ministry was established, we followed up with a DCPI in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland. Pastor Johanna first located a professional means of translating the CPE material into Finnish. We graduated 16 potential church planters and certified 13 trainers. A team of 12 trained leaders was assembled to plant another two churches in the cities of Mikkeli and Pieksam\u00e4ki. God has given us great favor in Finland and Sweden at this time. For us, Finland is beginning to remind these missionaries of the early ’90s where we were able to plant churches in RU and UA at nearly every turn. The season is right to request earnest prayer and intercession for divine appointments in Scandinavia. There is no limit to our productivity if we can be led by the Spirit in Scandinavia and possess funds to continue our work.<\/p>\n Thank You Partners, Friends and Churches<\/strong> Thank you for your ministry. May God\u2019s miraculous provision and favor always reside at your house in 2017!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Larry & Deborah Mininger Support their ministry here!

Una de las plantas de la iglesia insignia de 1991 en Ucrania ha sufrido un a\u00f1o de crisis por tres razones: Comenz\u00f3 previamente con la guerra RU y UA en el este, la crisis financiera de su moneda, junto con una afluencia abrumadora de refugiados. Deborah y yo fueron asistidos por Greg Terry para ayudarles a trabajar a trav\u00e9s de estos problemas abrumadores. Los tres nos hizo numerosos viajes a Xmelnitsky y un sinn\u00famero de llamadas de Skype para ayudar a sus mayores en cada uno de los asuntos mencionados. El problema de los refugiados est\u00e1 en curso. Las familias y los hu\u00e9rfanos se han descubierto recientemente que viven en edificios condenados con piso de tierra, sin zapatos, inadecuada ropa de invierno y alimentos. Estamos asistiendo Pastor Rostyslav al abordar estas cuestiones humanitarias con la visi\u00f3n y la dotaci\u00f3n de recursos. Estamos buscando la ayuda de nuestros contactos de la iglesia en Estonia y Finlandia. Pastor Rostyslav est\u00e1 demostrando diligencia y gran compasi\u00f3n por estas personas. Nuevos ministerios est\u00e1n naciendo en varias ciudades y nuevas iglesias est\u00e1n siendo plantadas en la regi\u00f3n. centro de rehabilitaci\u00f3n de la mujer nueva est\u00e1 en etapa final de realizaci\u00f3n que vamos a dedicar en breve. Dios est\u00e1 visitando los pa\u00edses escandinavos<\/strong> El Esp\u00edritu Santo llev\u00f3 a mi esposa y yo para buscar y localizar varios \"puntos calientes\" espirituales en Finlandia y Suecia. Un pastor finland\u00e9s est\u00e1 haciendo la conexi\u00f3n con nuestra iglesia IPH en Greenville, PA. Despu\u00e9s de visitar la iglesia Bethel PA vida y la satisfacci\u00f3n de Pastor Kent Bell, una buena relaci\u00f3n y el modelo de la iglesia se est\u00e1 formando en los corazones de estos l\u00edderes finlandeses. Pastor Johanna es la plantaci\u00f3n de forma activa tres iglesias en Finlandia. En Riihim\u00e4ki, Pastor Kingsley y Anni est\u00e1n de pie en la brecha por Pastor Lena quien recientemente fue hospitalizado durante la temporada de Navidad. Estamos haciendo todo en nuestro conjunto de habilidades para ayudar a estas marcas de fuego preciosos para tener \u00e9xito en sus tareas monumentales. Deborah y yo realizamos nuestra SOM 40 horas, m\u00e1s asociado con Advantage College en dos ciudades finlandesas. Nos graduamos 51 l\u00edderes de la iglesia con un Diploma de Ministerio. Una vez establecida la confianza en nuestro ministerio, dimos seguimiento con un DCIP en Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finlandia.

Dios nos ha dado gran favor en Finlandia y Suecia en este momento. Para nosotros, Finlandia empieza a recordar a estos misioneros de la d\u00e9cada de los 90, donde hemos sido capaces de plantar iglesias en el RU y UA en casi todos los sentidos. La temporada es derecho de solicitar ferviente oraci\u00f3n e intercesi\u00f3n por encargo divino en Escandinavia. No hay l\u00edmite a nuestra productividad si podemos ser guiados por el Esp\u00edritu en Escandinavia y poseer fondos para continuar con nuestro trabajo.","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/Mininger-Default.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-mX","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nMost of our time and resources were carefully invested in Ukraine, Estonia, Finland and Sweden this year. One of our flagship church plants of 1991 in Ukraine has endured a crisis year for three reasons: the RU and UA war in the east, the financial crash of their currency, and an overwhelming influx of refugees.\u00a0 Deborah and I were assisted by Greg Terry to help them work through these overwhelming problems. The three of us made numerous trips to Xmelnitsky and countless Skype calls to assist their elders in each of the matters mentioned.<\/p>\n
\nThe Holy Spirit led my wife and I to search out and locate several spiritual \u201chot spots\u201d in Finland and Sweden. One Finnish pastor is making connections with our IPHC church in Greenville, PA. After visiting the Bethel Life PA church and meeting Pastor Kent Bell, a good relationship and church model is being formed in the hearts of these Finnish leaders. Pastor Johanna is actively planting three churches in Finland. In Riihim\u00e4ki, Pastor Kingsley and Anni are standing in the gap for Pastor Lena who recently was hospitalized during the Christmas season. We are doing everything in our skill set to help these precious firebrands to succeed in their monumental tasks.<\/p>\n
\nLarry and Deborah want to say thank you for your faithfulness to our mission in 2016. You have carried us in your heart and frequently brought us to the Throne Of Grace. You have repeatedly given of your resources sacrificially. Who could ask for more?
\nIt can truthfully be said that you have become missionaries with us! Hopefully, your response of faith has earned you clarity concerning your calling and appointment. It has been made sure and you shall never fall\u00a0 (2 Peter 1:10). You have cared for us like your own! Our ministry prayer captain, Teresa Schroader, states it so clearly: \u201cYou Give to missions by Going and you Go to missions by Giving!\u201d<\/p>\n
