CREATIVE CONTINUANCE

 


Missionary Bruce Tuttle was back in Ukraine recently, but only for ten days. He has been working in a nearby country with his son Micah because of the war. But during ten hectic days he was able to preach in four churches, meet with many pastors, and visit Christian Life Baptist Church.

Christian Life Baptist Church has been in the process of renovating a building in spite of the ongoing fighting around them. Igor Solod is their pastor. Bruce put together a short video of the progress they have been making and sent out an appeal to supporting churches. Prices for building products have increased as a result of the war. And government offices continue to require expensive unexpected documents. The result of that appeal was amazing. $50,000.00 were given to help them complete the work.

“The people of Christian Life Baptist Church and I heartily thank you for your prayers,” writes Bruce. “The wonderful giving of many will enable the church to soon move into its new home.”

I have known Bruce since college days when we traveled together in the Swordsmen Quartet. He continues to do a great work in spite of all that Ukraine has been facing. Please pray for this church, for Bruce, and for Ukraine.

Five siblings came to them from various states where they had been in foster care. Kim and Kevin welcomed them into a loving home, choosing to keep the brothers and sister together as a family unit.   In addition to taking on the sudden responsibility of a large family, Kim found herself needing surgery for a goiter which was severely impacting her oxygen intake. Then they received word that another sibling would be born in April of 2024. Their hearts longed to add the new boy to their expanding family, but health, finances, and the lack of more room in their SUV seemed to say no.   After the surgery, Kim found out she could breathe again, and the outlook began to change.  It was time to make room for eight. When the already-loved baby arrived, Kim went to the hospital while Kevin dro...
