📌 Yesterday, we had a special meeting with our American partners from LATM and an opportunity to visit a Roma camp in Nadvirna. The children were invited to the House of Prayer of the Evangelical Baptist Church, where an evangelistic service was held with Pastor Andrii Ivasyk.

📌 After the service, each child received a gift. Later, we visited their settlement, where we also had the opportunity to share food and sincere communication.

📌 The children’s joy was boundless! It was especially touching that some of them have already become Sunday school students.

📌 We are sincerely grateful to God and all our partners for the opportunity to serve the Roma people and support them in their most pressing needs.

📌 Special thanks to the LATM mission — thanks to their support, we are implementing educational projects and translating books into Ukrainian. This is an invaluable contribution to the modern development of Ukrainian society, despite all the difficulties.

🥰The NGO “Bible Translators of Ukraine” has released the first children’s edition of the Bible in the Crimean Roma language!

☺️This is a unique project that will help children and their families learn about the Gospel in their native language. The children’s book contains stories about the life of Jesus with colorful illustrations so that every child can understand and feel God’s love.

📚Roman and Iryna Diachuk, Viktoria Rogozhnikova, Zolushka, Isaac, Sulamita, Zhemchuzhina-Esther, Dmytro Vakarenko, and Andriy Smolianiuk worked on the project.

💫We believe that this work will bear fruit for new generations and help the people of Roma learn more about the Word of God.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who supports the translation of the Bible into different languages!

💫Last week, our American partners visited the PBU NGO to launch an extremely important project—translating the Bible for people with hearing impairments. 

💫This will be a huge blessing for many people who communicate in sign language.

💫We want to share a story that clearly shows how important it is to develop different areas of ministry so that everyone has the opportunity to come to God.

💫Back in 1996, a woman invited her hearing-impaired friend to church. The woman did not know sign language, so it was very difficult to explain what they were talking about. The deaf woman came with her son, who sat on the balcony and thought, “I don’t want to be like these believers, but I don’t like my dad’s life either…”

💫Later, the woman went to the Irpin Seminary to learn how to interpret for the deaf, and she came back with a new calling and skill. She spent a lot of time and effort not just to understand, but also to be able to interpret. Her friend repented, and her son, who had once doubted, also began to serve. This young man is Roman Diachuk, the current director of the NGO “PBU.”

💫Today, there are already 15 church members with hearing impairments in Ivano-Frankivsk, and we are grateful to God for missionary Olya and everyone who once came and taught us. We have two interpreters, every year we see repentance and baptism among people with hearing impairments, and the ministry continues to grow.                                                 

💫We once planned to go to Central Asia to serve the deaf, but the pandemic stopped those plans. Today, God is opening up new opportunities—the Action Bible project for people with hearing impairments! We dream that our brothers and sisters will participate in this project and that it will become a joint ministry.

💫Join us in prayer that this project will become a powerful tool for spreading God’s Word among those who communicate in sign language. Because we see that people with hearing impairments come to God even more than those who can hear.
