Ukraine - Sunday Evening
Teachers
Lesson Summary
In this Sunday Evening class, Brandon Price opened with a personal testimony about adopting a baby boy from Ukraine, outlining the timeline from the initial offer on Valentine's Day to the child's birth and the family's new life as parents. He highlighted how this personal milestone paralleled the broader narrative of the church’s eight‑year mission in Kharkov, detailing the origins of the ministry when three American families redirected their plans from Russia to Ukraine after legal restrictions in 2007. Brandon recounted the early efforts to plant house churches, the challenges of cultural integration, and outreach initiatives such as holiday celebrations, hospital visits to abandoned infants, and collaborative events with local congregations. He reflected on the importance of looking back to see God’s faithfulness, noting that the first five years of mission work often felt unnoticed, but by the sixth year, growth and deeper cultural understanding emerged. The session concluded with a reminder of the ministry’s recent transition out of Kharkov, encouraging the congregation to pray and support ongoing global and local endeavors.
