Today's newsletter is a special Mission Partner Update edition. We are thankful to have relationships with missionaries and organizations who are making a difference all over the globe. Read on to see how their ministries progressed this year and learn how you can get involved.
Black Sea Ministries
Finally a Place to Worship
The last half of the year, our partners with Black Sea Ministries have been constructing a church building. This is the first structure of its kind in the country, and at the end of November, they got to worship in their building for the first time! We are thrilled to celebrate with them.
