Dear Siloam friends

Although the world’s attention is currently focussed on Israel and the war in Gaza with Hamas, let us not forget our co-workers Roman & Peter Bevz in the Ukraine and the people they are helping there.  In October, Siloam forwarded another £2,000 to Pastor Peter Bevz to help provide important relief dispensed by the Baptist Church in Chernigiv and in the surrounding villages.  Siloam has been fortunate in being able to forward at least £1,000 per month over the past year and during 2022, over £18,000 was sent for the work of Peter Bevz and the Baptist Church in Chernigiv.

Please download the latest report we have received from Roman Bevz which goes into great detail with encouraging news about what they have been able to do to help their people.  You will read about the day Bible camps held in July and August and even see photos of a baptism during which 9 people joined the church family in Chernigiv.

Roman was also able to spend time with his son Daniel who is currently living with his estranged wife and has ‘lodged’ in a number of countries outside Ukraine since the beginning of the war.  You will also read about the children who have been abducted by Russia and forced to live far away from their Ukrainian homes.  Incidentally, much of this was reported on TV in mid-October so it certainly backs up that report.

We are only sending £1,000 - £2000 per month to the Ukraine as this is recommended by our bankers and those through whom we transfer funds overseas.  We don’t want anyone to intercept our precious funds that you entrust to Siloam, so they will be used for other nefarious purposes!

Please download the report and enjoy being informed so you can pray with greater understanding.  If you are not able to download the report on your device at home then please do send us an email so we can send you a printed copy in the mail.

Thank you for your continued interest and support for the people in the Ukraine, we are just privileged to help.

Yours sincerely on behalf of those we love and serve in the Ukraine and elsewhere
