I’ve heard Bro Nathan speak on lighthouses
and I can say it gets better each time. He
really applied, from the construction to the
design to the purpose and management of
lighthouses, to both the believers and unbe-
lievers lives. Great job Bro Nathan may our
heavenly Father continue to bless you to do
his work.
... I've arrived back in NYC, safely thanks to
our heavenly Father and the prayers of the
brethren. I had a wonderful time there and
can’t wait to visit again, perhaps for a bit
longer. All near and far will be hearing from
me of the wonderful and exhausting work
you are doing over there and the great
response we are still getting from the public.
May God richly bless each and everyone of
you who labor on in his service. May he
prosper his work. I will never forget the
faces of those poor souls who visit the centre
each day. I look forward to when we can
offer the opportunity to them 7 days a week.
The brethren in the Ukraine will always be in
my prayers... And Bro Maxim, a bastion of
faith and goodwill to serve. May the Lord
take care if his situation soon. Give him my
love.
Love in Christ, Bro David Corbin

Jon and Sisters Deb and Cardia Cwiecek

amazing commitment, maturity and zeal for
the Lord’s work whilst in Latvia and Ukraine.
Sister Deb relates the story:
“We met Artem in a snowy bus station and,
after having a quick bite to eat, we took a
taxi to a Sauna where they had a big enough
pool for his 6ft3 frame. The one we visited
was plush but rather dangerous as the
shallow end of the pool was about 8ft deep
and cold! Thankfully Jon, Duncan and Artem
can swim and are all around 6ft or over but
this test showed us again how desperate
Artem was to be baptised.
God’s hand was clearly at work in our lives
today as we were not sure he would take the
arduous 6 hour journey to meet us, he must
have thought the same thing! Artem must
have a fairly deep conviction of the truth to
make such an effort. He seems sincere about
his new journey despite his family disowning
him. Although born in the Ukraine, he lived
in Israel (Nazareth and Jerusalem) as a Jew
with the rest of his Jewish family until he
started to read the New Testament and
found a love for Jesus. His family rejected
him when he left the synagogue and he felt
persecuted by family and friends so he
decided to move back to Ukraine where he is
currently unemployed due to the economic
unrest. He stumbled upon the Carelinks
