A MAN OF GOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not too long ago, a man with a great vision left this earth to be with our Lord. His name is George Loar. Not too many people know about him, but surely our Lord knows him well. He was a faithful pastor in the U.S. and had a great passion for planting churches in the Ukraine.<\/p>\n

We did not know him when we started our church planting endeavors in and around Kiev in 1997. Over time, we kept hearing his name and became curious about this man who, so many times, traveled overseas to start more and more churches all over the Ukraine. He did not come alone but was always accompanied by some older brothers in his church. Pastor George and his team did not shun the faraway places but, year after year, visited the new church plants, even as far as Crimea.<\/p>\n

Finally, after some years, we were in the Ukraine at the same time his team was there and we met. His joyful and loving appearance made a great impression upon us, and we felt very close to him and his whole team. We talked much about the work of our Lord and how important it is to make it possible to keep planting churches in Eastern Europe. His desire was to meet with all the new pastors and church planters and to personally go and see the progress and growth of the new churches. This was our strategy also.<\/p>\n

After many years of fulfilling his vision, he could not come anymore. The travel was too much for him and his team. From that time on we kept in frequent contact with him, and he asked us to visit his churches on a regular basis and send reports. We were very busy in the Ukraine at the time, not only to minister in the churches we had helped to plant but also to visit pastor George’s churches. This brought us to Crimea and the southeastern part of the Ukraine, which is now separated from the main country. I remember the sincere faith of the pastors in the village churches all over this area. The Christians were so serious. They knew what life was, having to work in the mines, where any moment a disaster could happen. Many a time, we were in deep conversation with the miners to try to show them\u00a0Christ. Now there is a war going on, great uncertainty, and life has become harder for everyone. I remember one time in particular when we were looking for a small church in a forest area and suddenly were confronted by Russian border guards pointing their guns on us. We were extremely quick to explain to them that we were lost and had no intention to cross the border. They cordially listened to us and taught us the right way. Those memories we will never forget. There will be a time very soon when we will meet our brother George again and will worship our Lord together, all the while rummaging over the good old times we had in the country of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Gracias por su amor, oraciones y generoso apoyo misionero!<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

Queridos amigos,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a1Gracias a sus fieles oraciones y generoso apoyo, los Ministerios de Misiones Mundiales nos han dado luz verde para partir hacia nuestra nueva asignaci\u00f3n en B\u00c9LGICA! Tenemos previsto salir a finales de marzo.<\/p>\r\nA diferencia de Alemania, B\u00e9lgica requiere que obtenga su visa antes de mudarse al pa\u00eds. El proceso de solicitud de visa implica muchos pasos que incluyen ex\u00e1menes f\u00edsicos, verificaci\u00f3n de antecedentes penales, copias notariadas de nuestros certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, cartas de nuestra agencia de misiones estatales y extranjeras, junto con una entrevista personal en la ciudad de Nueva York, y huellas dactilares antes de que se otorgue nuestra visa . Esto podr\u00eda tardar varias semanas en completarse. Hemos iniciado el proceso con fe, buscando al Se\u00f1or por su favor ante las autoridades belgas. Estamos terminando las \u00faltimas semanas del itinerario y tambi\u00e9n asistimos a Great Commission Meals en Oklahoma y Carolina del Norte. Estas reuniones est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para presentar y promover los programas del Ministerio de Misiones Mundiales de IPHC a las iglesias locales. Se anima a los misioneros que se encuentran en casa con permiso para asistir y hacer presentaciones cortas de su campo y ministerio. \"\"<\/a> PEDIDOS DE ORACI\u00d3N ACTUAL<\/strong><\/span> \u2022 Ore para que el hermano de Mark, Vernon, sea sanado. \u00c9l est\u00e1 luchando contra el c\u00e1ncer. \u2022 Ora por favor en el proceso de solicitud de visa. \u2022 Ore para que Dios levante compa\u00f1eros de trabajo para que se unan a nosotros en nuestra misi\u00f3n. \u2022 Oremos para que Dios prepare los corazones de los belgas. \u2022 Ore para que muchos est\u00e9n abiertos al Evangelio y reciban a Cristo como su Salvador. \u2022 En agosto, compartimos la necesidad de recaudar $ 20,000 en nuevos costos de inicio de campo que se utilizar\u00e1n para comprar un veh\u00edculo ministerial y cubrir la reubicaci\u00f3n. Hasta la fecha, se han recibido $ 10,045. Gracias a todos los que han dado. Por favor, oren para que podamos recaudar el resto, $ 9,955, antes de que nos vayamos en marzo.
