Tools of Our Trade

Since the church's first mission trip to Chernivtsi in 1993, our mission team members have used a legal-size tri-fold handout that included God's plan of salvation in both Russian or Ukrainian, and English. In addition, each handout contained the testimony of the mission team member in either Ukrainian or Russian.

The other three panels included one on lessons for new Christians, a bit on Baptists, and of course, a contact form for the local church to use in order to make follow-up contacts.

Over the years, these forms have become photo-copies of photo-copies and had degraded so they could barely be read, even assuming you knew Russian or Ukrainian. With help from Brother Walley, Oleta Arnold's long-time interpreter, we've got everyone's testimonies translated, and we've re-typed the whole handout, usually with me typing it in the Cyrillic alphabet and Wally proofing it. As a special feature this time, I've added photographs to the testimony page so people can put a face with a testimony.

Here are the individualized handouts.
