January Update (2011) – Back in Ukraine by Jim Ehrhard »

Christmas 2010 by Jim Ehrhard

January 16, 2011 by ADMIN

It is a trustworthy statement,

deserving full acceptance,

that Christ Jesus came into the world

to save sinners!  1 Timothy 1:15

Greetings in the Name of our Great God and Savior!

As we near the end of 2010, I wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for your continued generosity and faithfulness in being a partner with us in the ministry of Teaching Resources.

This past year has been a year of many changes in my life and ministry.  In August (2009), I resigned as pastor of the Bible Church of Cabot and that resignation took effect on January 1, 2010.  That was the beginning of a changed-filled 2010!

In the winter, I began to consider moving to Ukraine to increase my ministry there.  I also started spending time with Katya Makhnovets, the Registrar of the Seminary, and, in April, we began to talk about marriage.  In October, we were married here in Kiev!

This year, I have also taught a number of classes: Church History, Research and Writing (twice), World History, The Life of Christ, American History and Reformation and Modern Theology.  This Fall, I taught Christology and Soteriology, and in December I will be teaching World History again.  Next year will be equally as busy!  And I began taking Russian classes this fall also!  I look forward to getting back to the states for a little break over Christmas!

There is no way that I can say thank you enough for all your support and prayers through these years.  Through you, God has touched many lives, including mine!  Your prayers have sustained me and your gifts have encouraged me many times.  This past year, you have been a special life-line for me and the ministry here in Kiev!  We could not do this ministry without your prayers and support!

As a small thanks, I have enclosed an excellent book by C. J. Mahaney entitled, The Cross-Centerd Life.  In his book, Mahaney reminds us about the priority of the cross.  We all have a tendency to get so involved in life and even ministry that we forgot that the cross of Jesus is our life and our joy.  In Him, we have all that we need.  As you begin this new year, may you keep the cross at the center of all that you do!

Yours for His Glory!

Jim Ehrhard
