TO: ALL SOLDOUT MOVEMENT CHURCHES
FROM: Dr. Kip McKean – World Missions Evangelist
Good morning Family! Elena & I returned home to LA on Tuesday evening, January 18th from tremendous visits to Chicago and Kyiv! In Chicago, we participated in the historic Northern America Missions Conference from January 6-9, 2022, which was brilliantly overseen by our dear friends Dr. John & Emma Causey – the PACK World Sector Leaders. Despite the spike in Covid-19 around the USA, 700 courageously gathered “in person” on the weekend and witnessed 6 amazing baptisms!
On Monday, January 10th, Elena & I flew to Kyiv and arrived Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, John & Emma and Tony & Therese Untalan – the World Sector Leaders of Shepherding – joined us in Kyiv for the Eurasian New Year’s Workshop on January 14-16, 2022. In a very exciting announcement, Oleg & Aliona Sirotkin – the Eurasian World Sector Leaders – will be moving to Chicago for more training prayerfully in March when they receive their visas, and Luca & Sophia Di Beo will assume the Kyiv Church Leadership at that time. So, in effect, the PACK and Eurasian World Sectors are in a “ministry partnership.”
In my Friday sermon By His Spirit, I lifted up the “miraculous unity” of our Kingdom citizenship that supersedes each of our national citizenships or political parties within a nation. “For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility… His purpose was to create in Himself one new man out of two, thus making peace… through the cross.” (Ephesians 2:14-16) Indeed, in Kyiv, over 100 gathered not as Ukrainian Disciples nor Russian Disciples nor American Disciples, but as “Global Disciples” in the one family of Jesus Christ! Two highlights of the Sunday Service were the showing of GNN in Russian and the baptism of Masha – a Kyiv college woman!
Oleg & Aliona Sirotkin – Oleg is Russian, Aliona is Ukrainian, and God can unify anyone, anywhere, and anytime!
Of special note, Oleg is Russian and Aliona is Ukrainian. Before Elena & I returned home, Aliona – our precious Daughter in the Faith – begged me to have a worldwide Day of Prayer and Fasting for the sake of the Ukrainian and Russian Disciples. With this on my heart, I awoke this morning to this alarming article on CNN entitled, Ukraine Warns Russia Has “Almost Completed” Build-up Of Forces Near Border. The link is below:
Therefore, in this THE YEAR OF THE SPIRIT on FRIDAY JANUARY 21ST, I am calling all 126 SoldOut Movement Churches around the world to have a DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING for God to move “beyond anything we could ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20-21)
1 – Pray for complete unity and safety – no matter the circumstances – of the Ukrainian and Russian Disciples.
2 – Pray for the Edinburgh (Scotland) Inaugural Service on January 23rd. This is the 50th nation that the SoldOut Movement has reached.
3 – Pray for the Delaware Inaugural Service this Sunday on January 23rd. This is the 30th of the 50 USA States that has a SoldOut Movement Church.
Delaware International Christian Church Inaugural Service, 1/23/2022 10:00 AM EST – 100 CONTINENTAL DR NEWARK, DE 19713
The zealous Delaware International Christian Church mission team led powerfully by Michael & Stephanie Schafer!
Kolbe & Rebecca Gray, Edinburgh Scotland Mission Team Leaders!
Though we were severely tested during the past two years of the Pandemic with many swirling political winds, the Holy Spirit blew in one, purposeful direction blessing us with forceful advancement with the planting of 22 new congregations, needed generosity that supplied all of the financial needs of the Movement, and “complete unity to let the world know that [God] sent [Jesus] and loved us…” (John 17:23) And to God be all the glory!
We are family… filled with His Spirit,
Kip
