David serves at our sending church,Horizon Christian Fellowship in Indianapolis.  We met David when he visited Ukraine with a group from Calvary Chapel Bible College in 2006.  Since his graduation, he has continued to serve the college campus, and the church, in Indy in a variety of ways.  During our furlough in America, we spent a lot of time with David and saw very quickly what a godly young man he is, with a heart to serve.  So I started thinking right away, “How can I steal this guy from Indy and bring him to Ukraine?  They don’t need him!”  Actually, I started praying and asking the Lord if David would be a good missionary candidate to join us.  During the course of our time in the states I tried to listen closely to David’s heart to discern how God was working in his life.  It was pretty obvious to me and all who know him that he has a great heart to serve and a call to serve somewhere.  I approached our pastor, Bill, and asked him what he thought of David joining us.  Bill said, “No, you can’t have him!”  Not really, Bill was all for it, as God would lead.  So we approached David and asked him to pray about joining us in Ukraine.

We are so pleased that after his own time in prayer and seeking God’s confirmation, David has agreed to join us for one year.  He is praying through the timing of his move with a target date of this summer.  David is a gifted musician and worship leader which will be a real asset for us as we move forward in ministry.  He also enjoys teaching the word and discipling young men, another tremendous need and asset for our work here.  Everyone we know would describe him as a young man hungry and eager to serve.  So we are very excited that God is bringing him to L’viv.

He has begun the process of sharing his vision with churches, bible study groups, individuals, and anyone who will lend a listening ear.  Part of the vision is sharing his need to raise financial support.  He has monthly support needs and some upfront costs to cover airfare, apartment rental, and setup, etc.  Most importantly, the greatest need is prayer.  Would you consider becoming a part of David’s call in some way?  You can contact him at dsnead@horizonindy.org
