Fantasies to Faith in Ukraine!

Dear Friend of TEAR and prayer partner,

Fourteen years ago, the national Ministry of Education in Russiawelcomed TEAR to organize a Christmas art contest in orphanages acrossall 11 time zones. The Lord graciously calledfive American businessmen to partner withme and travel to Moscow to meet with highofficials and to commit financially towardthis unique Evangelistic outreach.

During these fourteen years, TEAR has reached over half amillion children with the true meaning of Christmas and the Personof Jesus Christ. Now for the first time, a new door has swung widelyopen, allowing TEAR the remarkable opportunity to organizeanother Christmas art contest among students in public schoolsofWestern Ukraine.

This past November, I met with government officials fromthe Department of Education to present this opportunity. Their response wasnt a matter of yesor no, but when. The officials were so excited about the proposal that they were ready to beginas soon as the meeting ended!

Close to 100,000 students, ages11 to 14, are expected to participateannually in the region of Lviv alone. Thisis almost three times larger than theaggregate of all the orphanages in Russia!This means that the same number offamilies will also be residually exposed tothe Gospel Truth in that region ofUkraine.

The Department would like tomake this a pilot for a couple of years. Ifit is the success that they and TEARexpect, they would welcome the

expansion of the program to the national level. If that happens, God willing, TEAR will have theopportunity to share the Gospel with over 2.5 million homesannually in the entire Ukraine!

In order to accomplish this noble task, TEAR needs your help. $35,000 annually isneeded to run the contest in Ukraine and bring ten winners to the United States for the next three

years. The good news is that a commitment has been made to match funds on the first$17,500 to reach the goal of $35,000 for the first year through a family of long time friendsto TEAR. This means your gift can be doubledby our God through our friends!

Before you pray and ask God for a decision, let me share with you just one more thing. Igrew up in the former USSR and the same Department of Education that was 100% against God,was once promoting atheism and persecuting every Christian student, is now enthusiasticallyopening doors for the Gospel. What a change! What a unique opportunity to literally reachmillions of students and their parents for Christ!! Please, dont miss this opportunity you will beblessed beyond measure, and will be a blessing upon future generations.

In Christ alone,
