  • DESNA, UKRAINE 1St Quarter 2012 Report
    DESNA, UKRAINE 1st Quarter 2012 Report January 2012 To start the New Year, our church held a celebration of the birth of Christ. [Christmas in Ukraine is traditionally celebrated according to the old calendar, on January 6.] We rejoiced in this gift from God. We ourselves could also give gifts for the children of the church and those who come to Sunday school. For many of them, what they receive from us is almost the only Christmas gift they receive, because they are from poor families. Also, God has allowed us to hold a meeting with all teachers of the Desna school and to give them special gifts on Christmas: a Bible, children's Bibles, and posters. I had a conversation with the director and assistant principal of the school. But the Devil does not sleep, and 2 days after that meeting, the school’s head teacher called and asked the missionary, Igor, not to come anymore and not to conduct classes on Christian ethics, which he had organized every week for high school students. But the Devil cannot resist God's intervention in the lives of people by His almighty hand, so we pray for God's influence on this situation. At our church this month we experienced a replenishing. Came a family, an ethnic Gypsy. The man of the family repented while in prison: he has 3 children and his wife had not yet accepted the Lord. They live in a town called Oster, where there is no Baptist church, and for a long time he’d been looking for where to go for church services.

    Mission Society of the Mother of God of Boronyavo Nativity 2015 From the Chaplain Glory to Jesus Christ! As you can see in this newsletter, there is a parish pro- ject for the Eparchy of Mukachevo which needs your assistance. As is the case so often in the Transcarpathian Oblast, the local Greek Catholics who had remained loyal to our Church throughout the So- viet era despite arrests, fines, and having to worship in secret were denied full use of the churches built by their ancestors. This continued even when the court Parish House at Benedykivtsi must undergo major ruled in favor of the Greek Catholics and renovation when there was an abundance of old churches to be used, as in Benedykivtsi. At that village, though there were several churches which Orthodox simply could not fill, the Greek Catholics were kept outside, even in freezing winter, for over 20 years. Their appeal does not begin to convey the hardships which those families have endured, praying outside for every liturgical celebration - from baptism to weddings to funerals - rather than give up their Faith. So we appeal for your generosity and, as always, thank you in advance. A new category is for the Prešov Metropolia's ongoing missionary expansion. As in America, people live beyond the reach of older churches. They will be lost to our Church if intrepid missionary priests are not able to serve them. Missions are now meeting in several Roman Catholic churches or elsewhere in central and western Slovakia. The Christmas and Easter Card projects have turned out to be very successful, beyond what we expected! So, we have printed them in advance, ready to go, and the order form is inside this newsletter.

Have you ever thought of Christmas without any celebration? Did you ever see the beautiful view when all the lights turn on over the buildings? In Hong Kong, we treat Christmas as a normal festival which brings us a holiday to relax. At Christmas, we usually have Christmas dinner in a famous restaurant together with our family. We chat and share memories as a family time. Sometimes, we do exchange presents to each other. On the other hand, my friends and I often gather around and have party at home. We have Shushi, fried chicken, hot pot and pizza for celebrating Christmas night. We always play board games or mahjong until mid-night. We don’t decorate with bells, Christmas tree or socks in our home. However, there is strong Christmas atmosphere along streets and malls. There are Christmas trees, cartoon characters and sometimes, the mall will spread the ‘snow’ amongst the shops. Most of the tall buildings along the coast, hang up light bulbs over the side of buildings. On Christmas eve, every building is lit with bright light.
