YWAM Ternopil, Yarik
Today I had the honor of baptizing 2 students. We live in a difficult time with many challenges. Therefore, our baptism also took place in ice water. you can see that part of the pond is covered with ice. Glory to Jesus . At such moments, I feel that I am alive and in the right place. Most of our students are new believers who came as refugees and stayed on to work with us.

On my birthday, I received an unexpected fate - in the city a boy approached me, asking for a couple of hryvnias. Due to a difficult life situation, he ended up on the street. At first I just gave him a couple of bucks. But then I came back and spent a few hours with him looking for new clothes and dry shoes. We also had a drink together and went to get a haircut.
 
This is Yarik, one of our leaders in Ternopil. He is a real example of living the life of Jesus. What a way to celebrate your birthday, especially at Christmas. Pray for Yarik and many more like him in Ukraine and pray for these new believers and the Discipleship school that Yarik is leading.
