Missionary Jerry Chalk will be at our church at 1001 West Spring Street, Lebanon, Tn. 37087 on Sunday, July 10, 2011 @ 6pm to speak about his mission ministry.
While on a mission trip, God spoke to him and called him to go live in and evangelize the Ukraine. Jerry responded to the call and settled in the Ukraine, becoming fluent in the Russian language and wedding Lyana, a native Ukrainian.
Jerry serves as an Associate Pastor in a large Church of God of Prophecy congregation in the Ukraine that has experienced unbelievable growth in recent years. Jerry’s passion is evangelizing the lost and un-churched. He spends virtually every night in local villages preaching to those who need the gospel.
There are many obstacles facing evangelism in the Ukraine. Christians are persecuted there, making church planting very difficult. It is very rare to see a traditional house of worship - many congregations have to meet in places of business or outdoors due to governmental obstacles. (Jerry’s church meets in a movie theater!) Despite the difficulties, Christianity is spreading in the Ukraine, and Jerry has personally seen thousands of lives touched by the power of God!
