Every morning the CMO men meet for prayer and Bible study before starting the day's outreach.


During down time, much effort is put into preparing the literature we use on the streets.


Every tract is first "stuffed" with an invation to our Chronological Bible Course.


Here we see Jeff Rhoades stuffing tracts.

We are pleased to announce that Jeff Rhoades has been selected to receive the prestigous "Tract Stuffer of the Week" award.

The community center in Kozyova where The Light of the World film was shown on Sunday, May 21.


The CMO men regroup and prepare to move to a new group of buildings to pass out tracts.


Sometimes, if there are no PO boxes, the men climb the stairs to the top of the apartment building and place a tract on every door.


Jonathan Rhoades prepares to cook supper on his backpacking stove.


One of our many camp sites in the Carpathians.


After the day's work is over and the camp is ready for the night, the men take turns reading aloud from various books.


Jonathan Rhoades, Jonathan Steele and Nathan Day stamp invitations to be distributed in Slavsk. To the left, a half liter of water boils on one of the camp stoves.


Several of the men sing hymns around the camp fire before retiring for the night.


Jonathan Steele teaches from the Bible during the morning team meeting.


After the showing in Kozyova, the men set up camp a couple of kilometers outside the village. They are pictured here hiking back to the village the next day to distribute invitations to the Chronological Bible Course.


The CMO men hike many miles every week carrying 40 pound packs.


A small river which runs by one of our camp sites.


Nathan and Joshua consult an atlas of L'viv, discussing where the team will move to next to pass out tracts.


Every week there is a team dinner at the Beal's house. This is a time for fun, fellowship, and rest.


Microbuses provide one of our main modes of transportation in L'viv. Often, there is standing room only.


Evan Hein checks his gear before heading to the mountains.


Kurt Hein (left) and Matthew Ballmann (right) prepare to board the train.


The camp site is often a busy place.


Crowds of people will soon board the train headed for the villages of the Carpathian Mountains. By the time the train arrives, the vast majority of these passengers will have received a gospel tract including an inviation to join our Chronological Bible Course.


"The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." Matthew 4:16


"Ramen" noodles are one of the favorite meal choices of CMO campers. Simply whip out your backpacking stove, boil some water in your pot, dump in the noodles and you're only five minutes from dinner.


The CMO men gather for a group photo after the showing. Also present are four of our Ukrainian Bible students.


The CMO men purchase tickets for the train to the mountains.


The Steele brothers: together once again in Ukraine.


A typical Ukrainian apartment complex where the CMO men distribute tracts.


The men search for a suitable camp site outside the village. (Yes, we jumped off when the train came.)


Due to Kelsie Steele's crash-course in Ukrainian language, all the guys are able to speak basic phrases in Ukrainian. Purchasing bread, for example, is much easier when you know how to say "bread."


Jessie and Nathan work on setting up the multimedia equipment in Kozyova's community center.


More of the beautiful Carpathians.


Living in a tent for too long does things to you.


Physical fitness is a must for the CMO men. Here we see them doing four-man push-ups!


This gospel tract, called "Where are you going?" has been distributed by the thousands in L'viv and other parts of Western Ukraine.


Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, the One who died to redeem the people living in the Carpathian Mountains.

Joshua takes his turn crossing an oil pipe over the river. The pipe is actually about 12-14 feet above the river bed.


The people of Kozyova view The Light of the World film.
