Oak
Haven Church is one of many churches in the Minnesota
Baptist Conference that has a sister church relationship
with a church in Ukraine. Since 1995, Oak Haven has
been able to exchange letters and gifts with members
of the church and community in the rural village of
Buzhanka, Ukraine.
Through
the sister church relationship, Oak Haven is able to
encourage the members of the Buzhanka church to reach
out to the non-believers in their community and strengthen
their own relationship with Christ. A main part of the
sister church relationship is the annual team that is
sent from Oak Haven to Buzhanka.
During
this two week trip, team members from Oak Haven assist the local Buzhanka church with a Bible camp for the children and teens in the community.
They also hold special women’s and men’s events
in the evenings. Through these activities, members of
the Oak Haven team are able to establish strong relationships
with those in Buzhanka and tell hundreds of people about
the love of Jesus Christ.
