DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

NOTES FROM THE FIELD

Giants often arise in a land and spread uncertainty, cruelty and violence. They seem to thrive on fear and control just as it was in the days of Nicolae Ceausescu, Josip Broz Tito and Enver Hoxha. Yet, there are greater giants than they. These giants are infinitely superior in power and influence. These colossi may not have house-hold name recognition, never-the-less, they bring hope and a measure of security to unstable environments.

In Eastern Europe and Russia, familiarity, does frequently breed contempt. Many of our partners are beginning to feel their stress levels rise as Russia begins to stir up the region once again. Eurovangelism is blessed to serve so many in Eastern Europe and Russia. We partner with nationals in countries where the political and social landscapes change overnight.

We are very sensitive to the fact that the stress levels are on the increase as our Partners attempt to navigate often contemptuous environments. Please continue to pray for these mighty servants that we partner with. They do so much with so few resources. Thank you for serving with the Eurovangelism team (William, Brian, Ruthann and Kevin). We need your prayers more than ever. Our Partners thank you for not forgetting them.

SPRING/SUMMER 2014

Thank you to everyone who attended the Steve Bell Solo Concert. It was an evening of blessings! Eurovangelism would like to thank Steve for sharing his talents with us in story and song. In respect to the offering that was collected for the floods in Serbia, Steve commented that there is an actual term called “compassion fatigue” but encouraged us to keep engaged in helping others and reminded us that a little goes a long way. The event raised an incredible $1624.75 for the flood victims! Thank you for your support, love and care.

The time for Summer Camp is fast approaching! Pastor Constantin who directs Bethany Camp in Romania shares about the purpose of a camp environment. “We try to teach the children skills to look after themselves, like setting the table, washing the dishes and preparing the vegetables. In this spirit, we also bring them the living word of our Lord Jesus Christ. We teach them to work, to be responsible and to grow up in learning the serving spirit of Jesus. We teach them from God’s Word, sing songs, play games, go for walks, gather around the fire ...”

With a donation of $160, send one child to a week of summer camp for the experience of a lifetime! Plan to attend the International Marketplace at the Ontario

Christian Gleaners, 1550 Morrison Road, Cambridge, on Friday November 14th (7-9pm) and Saturday November 15th (10am-3pm). Organizations will have the opportunity to sell handmade items and provide information about the countries that they represent in a fair trade, colourful, market style atmosphere. Hope to see you there!

An autumn fundraising concert in Saskatchewan is being planned. Details: TBA

Official launch for EuroAid Canada: Solo concert with Jacob Moon (jacobmoon.com)Date: Sat. Nov. 8th, 2014 @ Peoples Church - Peoples Church 510 Mohawk Rd W Hamilton, ON

TESTIMONIAL

A donor recently shared that she was able to save for the ministry of Eurovangelism simply using a designated container to collect loose change. When full, the amount was sent as support. Thank you for this wonderful idea and for thinking of our Partners who serve the Lord in all that they do.

NOTES FROM THE FIELD CONTINUED“Dear Brother Kevin, I would like to express our appreciation toward you for taking the time and personally coming to visit and teach at our school in Albania. The students loved your kindness, testimonies and enjoyed the practicality of your teaching… Our school is so thankful for the partnership and support that Eurovangelism consistently and faithfully has extended towards us from our very beginning. This way you are a blessing not just to our school and churches but to the nation.

In Christ,Hervin Fushekati”Academic Dean of the International

School of Theology and Leadership.

Danny and Vera Kuranji write “thank you all for praying for our country through this very difficult situation resulting from the devastating floods. Our city has been spared, but over one million people in the region have been affected. We have been able to go to Obrenovac and bring some help. Obrenovac is a city of over 50 000 without a single evangelical church. This is a great opportunity for the Gospel to be shared. May God use this disaster and bring many to Himself. We have a plan. A vision. We will send a team of four men to live in Obrenovac to help and administer aid. Since this is a town with huge drug problems, our desire is to open another rehab center in the near future, and plant a church. Please pray for all that is needed for this to happen.”

Eurovangelism would like to thank everyone who responded to our appeal for help with this emergency. A total of $5180.00 has been raised so far to send to our Partners in Serbia! The need is still great though so any further contributions would be greatly appreciated.
