"Surprise!" God said, "I've Got It Covered."
written by Rich Sheeley, Executive Director
 In mid 2007, Sergei Golovin wrote to tell us of a huge blessing—one of those stories that just kind of comes out of the blue and blows you away. The GNPI-Ukraine staff had been working hard with zero complaining in somewhat cramped quarters. They were using portions of Sergei's home and his editor's small apartment.
The "unbelievable blessing" was that they had been given a whole house to use for all the various facets of video production. It needed significant renovation, because like any home—it wasn’t designed as a video production studio, and the renovation needed to be done while the weather was still good! The problem was we had been talking to every contact we could think of regarding other needs of the ministry and with short notice we didn't have many options. So I had to tell Sergei, “We’d try—but we had pretty well exhausted our contacts.” For a couple months it seemed my expectation (well, lack of faith) was accurate!
 Then a long time partner church contacted us. A ministry they had been supporting in Ukraine was about to sell their building and they wanted to keep the profit from the sale in the country. "Did we have any projects we were looking to fund in Ukraine?" WOW—you talk about amazed. Within a few short months God used one source in the Ukraine to give a building directly to Sergei, then (from a human perspective) what appeared seemingly out of the blue and not connected at all, He provided cash to renovate it! God provided, connected the dots, and accelerated our facilities expansion in the Ukraine.
 
The team has now moved their offices out of their homes and into the new facility. Sergei has shared that it is such a blessing for their team to work out of one office and not be scattered about!
