Brother Paul is Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He leads his church to faithfully support missionaries worldwide. He has seen firsthand the spiritual needs in countries such as Mexico and Thailand. We will certainly be challenged to greater sacrifice and outreach for the cause of Christ and His gospel.

Brother John serves as an Elder in Grace Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama. He possesses years of experience in missionary endeavors in Ukraine and Guyana. We look forward to hearing this seasoned minister of the gospel.

Join us in viewing John Hunter’s presentation of missionary efforts in Ukraine. Situated on the Russian border, Ukraine gained its independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union. After Russia, the Ukrainian republic was far and away the most important economic component of the former Soviet Union, producing about four times the output of the next-ranking republic. Rich in natural resources, it was once called the "Breadbasket of Europe," because of its fertile soil and beneficial climate conditions. Sadly, the tragic 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident (just north of the capitol, Kiev) still lingers, and dangerous land contamination and radioactivity concerns are viable problems. However, this area is covered with a spiritual darkness with the major religions being Ukrainian Orthodox and Ukrainian Greek Catholic. This nation of over 47 million people needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
