A Word About Our Patron

Today we wanted to share with you a story about one of our patrons – Sophia.

Her father is from South African Republic. Three years ago their family came to Ukraine on vacation and felt God’s call to stay here for a longer period of time. As they are now getting ready to come back to their country, Sophia shared with us her story.

One of Sophia’s friends was taking classes in the International Christian University here in Kiev. That’s how she found out about the UEC and the two girls started coming here regularly. Soon Sophia’s parents registered for the library, too.

It’s an amazing place. You can meet so many nice people here! And you can bring your friends who are not believers and share Good News with them. A couple of weeks ago I took my friend Myroslava  here who I’ve been telling about God and introduced her to the Christian literature since she was interested in books in English. She was also impressed she could receive an English language Bible as a free gift here. I am glad to know that even after I leave she will have a place where she can come and be welcomed and meet other believers.

Also a chance to use Internet has been a blessing to me. We don’t have Internet at home so I was unable to keep in touch with my old friends. Thanks to you we can communicate again.

We had a nice talk with Sophia and she shared a lot about her life. We hope we will be able to see her again when she and her family come back for a visit this summer.
