Stas Karpenko — UFA Bible Ministries

As we look back over 2023, we give thanks for all the encounters we have had with young people and the opportunities to share the gospel. It was a hard but fruitful year. Now we are standing at the end of it giving thanks to the Almighty. If you ask me to recall one thing God did this year that was on top of the others – it is the brother who returned to the Lord after being away for almost 20 years. I had not seen anyone before turning to the Lord after so many years. It was an encouragement on a big scale for everyone. I remember well the moment I heard a familiar voice on the phone. After hearing that we bowed down and praised the Lord.

“For All” Club

Our man and woman club combined have had its meetings twice this fall. Both times the room was full. We ate some fresh baked goods and drank a lot of tea. Both times we were able to plant the seeds of the gospel. Please pray for those attending this ministry. Pray for their acceptance of the truth and turning to God.

Central Asian trip

On December 26th we are going to travel across the border into Central Asia. We plan to hold workshops and meetings to present our disciple making curriculum to the leaders of the churches in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. We are flying back from Samarkand on January 5th. Thank you for your prayers and support that you sent for the trip. Pray for the hearts of the leaders to be able to accept the course. We still have $400 to be covered for the trip. Pray for that also.

Friends and Family

The school year is coming to the mid-point. This year we have got more than usual days with extreme low temperatures so some of the outside classes were cancelled. We had to spent more time inside and push on the home-schooling program. Tim learns to earn his first money. He led an English discuss group on Zoom. He is very proud of his first dollars.
Thank you so much for praying for us over this last year. We are also conscious that without our work being cover and supported in prayer nothing of a worth will happen!
