The St. Louis Mennonite Fellowship has established a Ministry Support Team (MST) to support Mary Raber and her work in Ukraine. Mary has experience and expertise in a part of the world that lost more than a generation of theological education during Soviet times. We strongly feel that Mary's gifts of faith, language, cultural knowledge, and intellectual vigor make her uniquely qualified to do the Lord's work at this pivotal point in history. As a teacher of future church leaders, Mary will be in a position to affect thousands of lives over time. Preparing national Christians for ministry is an important way of extending the reach of the gospel. Supporting Mary's missionary work means supporting people who will be able to do the research and reflective study that will enable the church to convey the message of God's love in ways that make sense in the post-Soviet world. We attach a partnership form requesting your support. We ask that you sign up to support Mary financially in her ministry. Your prayers are also requested. We will share news and prayer requests once we identify enough financial support to begin Mary's ministry. We feel blessed to be able to walk with Mary on this journey. Our Ministry Support Team includes roles for prayer, communications, financial, and social support. Please join our efforts in these areas, blessing others as we have been blessed. In Christ, Sheila, Jane, Wes, Mary Kay, Don, and Cathy Sheila Yoder Baer - Leader - 636.584.0231 - yoderbaer@juno.com |
