Dear team mates of God’s pro-life ministry in Izmail Ukraine.

I greet you on behalf of the staff and volunteers of Izmail Life Care Center.
Christ has risen!!

Spring is always associated with life not only because the new leaves and flowers come up after long winter sleep but also because finally it has gotten warmer here and women took off their coats and you can see so many expectant moms. We love this time because it always reminds us that we minister to God according to His will and it encourages us. We continue to serve God through the ministry of the LCC trying to work in as many directions as possible.
Alongside the usual work of conducting school for moms and doing everything possible to follow up with former clients in March and April we were able to:
Host a women’s club “ How to cope with stress” . About 25 women got together to fellowship and see what the Bible says about anxieties and worries which add more stress to everyday life. Conducted more than 30 abstinence classes for middle and high school students.
Had a monthly meeting of women’s reading club during which we discuss a chapter of a book “Mother factor”.

A group of 4 women went through all the courses in School for Moms and three of them got a main prize – crib. Just started a new group of 4.
A husband and mom of two women were trained to be present and help during the delivery.
17 former clients got different kinds of help at the LCC including counseling on different matters like: relational problems, breast feeding, solid foods, clothes exchange etc…
Conducted a talk show “I am in love, what’s next”… in one of the nearby villages.
Two students went through translational practice and one of them is still doing that.
The children and their parents from the Sunday school took part in the Easter church worship service. The kids learned the praise poems and recited those during the worship service after which they had an egg hunt in the park.
Please praise God with us that He gave us so many possibilities to share the Gospel and pray that the Holy Spirit will touch the hearts of those who heard it.
Pray for Angela’s health. She is in intensive care now and the doctors suspect a blood clot. It is very dangerous. She is a huge part of the LCC and I ask you to pray for her life and health with all your heart.
With love and respect to you all.
Your sister in Christ – Snezhana Popova.
