Report on Imelda’s Health–Mission to the Children

Mission to the Children

“Changing our World One Life at a Time”

First, I want to thank you all for your prayers and give you an update on Imelda.

For those of you who may not be aware of Imelda’s sickness, she has been very sick since right after Thanksgiving. She is very yellow and her gall bladder and liver are swollen. We have been to several doctors, had a lot of scans, and they have sent her several labs. They have been trying to fix Imelda’s sickness with Medication, but her improvements are only minimal.
We will go for new labs on this Wednesday to check if her current meds are helping. Imelda is having trouble eating and drinking, and she is in constant pain. She is very sick and extremely weak. Please continue to pray for us.  Our faith is strong and we still hold to our promised victory.
Sam came home for Christmas and preached several times for me.  His preaching is really good, and he is growing a lot spiritually. We are proud of him. Josh has been working hard to help take care of Imelda. He has been cooking and preparing most of Imelda’s meal. I am proud that he is helping his mother so much.
Our number at church are down a little bit, and I plan to evangelize more.  In February we are going to start a couple’s bible study to try to reach more people.  Hopefully in February,  Alex, a volunteer from the state of Chiapas, will be with us. Taking care of Imelda does not allow me enough time to take care of a volunteer. In spite of the rough start I am feeling 2020 will be a great year for our ministries.
Thank you for the all the incredible ways you support our ministries. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and your friendships have a huge impact on our lives. Thank you.

Ufa Bible Ministries, Stas Karpenko, Russia

As we look back over 2019 we give thanks to the Lord for all His mercy and grace that were encompassing us through the year. We praise him for those opportunities to share the gospel, especially with young and indigenous people.
As we look forward, we would ask you to pray for continuation of our churchplanting efforts in 2020. The harvest is vast but the workers are few.

ESL/Men’s Club
These are my absolute favorites in praises. Seeing how God is doing unthinkable is truly precious. We’ve had great addition in numbers in our ESL classes. And we’ve had increase in deep, meaningful conversations after classes. Our men’s club is going through a new beginning. We had a surge of new men joining to our club last year, all non-Christians. Now, many of them take a lead in reading Scripture passages and providing a little bible study for the group.

Christmas Season
This time may I ask you to pray for two specific things. First, please pray for our evangelistic efforts during the Christmas season. You know, a time around Christmas is one of the two special seasons in Russia when everyone feels necessity to come to church. Most people do it just because of their religious feelings but nonetheless God can use that time for bringing people to himself. Pray that we may rent a bigger hall for Christmas worship and that many may hear the good news and come to the true knowledge of Christ.
We praise God for provision for our needs in 2019. At one point our balance dipped deeply low we have been blessed by some amazing gifts which have brought us up to a safe level again. We have a few shortfalls for 2020 in our budget. So, we playfully ask you to consider giving the year-end donation for Ufa Bible Ministries.

Family
We praise the Lord for great year for our family.
Thank all of you once again for your partnership in the gospel ministry. We pray for God’s blessing in your life in 2020.
