Carpathian Mountain Outreach

This week my focus has been helping my brother prepare for a two month mission trip to Ukraine, to be part of the Carpathian Mountain Outreach. He is leaving bright and early Monday morning and there are a thousand final details to cover before such a lengthy trip. I'm so excited for him. Matthew will be working with missionaries Joshua and Kelsie Steele. This young couple is an absolute inspiration to me of missionaries with a vision for discipleship, for the people of Ukraine, but also for mentoring other young people serious about missions.

The Carpathian Mountain Outreach is unique, in that it is only for young men with a focused interest in learning about and participating in mission evangelism. Team members will have a full week of Ukrainian language instruction before going out. During the trip they will minister through film, chalk talks with open air preaching, one-on-one witnessing, and literature distribution. Matthew is excited to be participating as the team Gospel Chalk Artist.

So many people and places need our prayer. The Carpathian Mountain Outreach will be one of those places in my heart this summer, that God would guide, enable, and raise up young men with a missionary heart.
