2006 Letter from US Director Nasko Lazarov
Rich
wth many things
Dear
friends of Mission Possible,
Few days ago I was
challenged to describe the ministry of Mission Possible in two sentences.
The challenge was not so much to say in a concise way who we are and what
we believe in. The hard part was in describing all the work that our teams
are currently carrying out in the lands of Russia and Eastern Europe.
This reminded me of
another occasion when I had a conversation with a good friend of Mission
Possible who contacted us on behalf of her church's missions committee.
Some members of the missions committee, after hearing in details about
all of our programs, were under the impression that we must be a very
rich organization if we do all that we do.
And this was not far
from the truth. Let me tell you about our riches as a ministry:
- we are rich with
people on our missions teams who are passionate about the work of
the Lord;
- we are rich with ideas and dreams of where we want to see our countries
to be and about our churches;
- we are rich with friends like you and many others who trust and believe
in us and have decided to join hands with us, so that we will see
many more souls to come to faith in Jesus Christ and eternal life;
- we are rich not because our bank accounts are big (actually they
are pretty much depleted as everything that we get goes immediately towards
the ministry of our teams);
- we are rich because of Our Father in Heavenly have promised us to
provide for all our needs.
Ag to my friend the
ministry of our Mission, there was a long pause. "Praise be unto
Jesus!" wfter describinas the first that I heard after our conversation
continued. And this is exactly what we want to see during this new 2006
as an effect of our ministry:
All the glory to be
given to our Lord Jesus Christ!
However,
we will not be satisfied with this-
we want to see many more souls
to be reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
we
want to see the churches in Russia and Eastern Europe
to stand strong and firm;
and,
we want to see the churches to continue strong with their ministries
towards the individuals and the whole of their societies.
With your help and
ongoing partnership we will be able to continue with the task in the New
Year. We covet your prayers and support! And want to thank you again for
standing alongside us in ministry during the past 2005.
Our systems are now
in place for receiving online donations through our site www.mp.org You

Sincerely Yours in
Christ,

Nasko Lazarov
