May Missions Moment
Jonathan and Olya Powell are serving in Lviv, Ukraine, sharing the hope of the gospel and strengthening the church in a time of war and hardship. Olya, originally from Odesa, came to Christ through MTW missionaries, and Jon, from Virginia, joined the mission in 2009. Married in 2011, they’ve returned to Lviv after seminary, trusting in God’s purpose for His church in Ukraine. Let’s pray for their safety, boldness, and lasting fruit in their ministry.
