The
Wysongs — For My Church
Ukraine, Europe Year opened: 1999
After
centuries of oppression under Communism, the economic and spiritual position
of Ukraine is still improving. Suffering two artificial famines under
Soviet rule and fighting in World War II led to the deaths of 16 million
Ukrainians. Of the more than 46 million inhabitants residing currently,
at least 29% live below the poverty line. Sex trafficking has become a
tremendous problem for Ukrainian women sold into forced prostitution.
Mission
Society missionaries are involved in the city of Kiev through serving
as Headmaster of the Kiev Christian Academy, as well as working with the
Ukrainian Center for Law and Justice. They are also involved in orphanage
ministry and adopted their son, Nicholas, from Radomischel in 2003. In
addition, the Wysongs are also involved in a church planting effort outside
of Kiev.
Prayer Requests
• Pray for the preservation and expansion of human rights and religious
freedoms.
• Pray for God to work in lives of our Kiev Christian Academy staff
and students for His glory.
• Pray for God to raise up the needed funds to build a new school.
• Pray for God to raise up the needed teachers and financial support
for each student for each school year.
• Pray for missionaries in Ukraine to be walking in the Spirit and
as effective as possible in their fields of service.
