Good News
From Jeremy and Mindie at Bethel University:
We just finished our big push to get to the Global Engagement Chapel on Oct 5. We are thanking the Lord for the enthusiasm the students have regarding the World Partners/Bethel U overseas mission trips for this coming year. Be praying the enthusiasm results in commitments, and that the Lord will use these trips to open their hearts to global missions service.

From Refugees to Missionaries
Ed Kim never expected to work with Ukrainian refugees.
As a veteran World Partners missionary, his calling was to Israel. However, after a series of
events, the Lord led him to Germany, presumably to share his faith with the Jewish community there.
One day, however, a friend in Israel called Ed and asked for a favor. A Jewish Ukrainian family fleeing the war needed help settling in Germany, near where Ed and Hia were living. They responded to the need and found the reason for their calling to Germany.
The Lord showed Ed that he was turning Ukrainian refugees into missionaries to Europe. The six million Ukrainians leaving Ukraine were not so much fleeing as being sent. Since many of them are believers, Ed began to see and seize the larger vision.
Over the last two years, he has invested in individuals and networks to fulfill his role in making this vision a reality. Early in the war, Ed sensed that it would not end soon or easily. He encouraged refugees to focus on their new life in Germany. Despite the many desperate stories of loss and heartbreak due to destroyed hometowns and family homes, many have begun to embrace the missionary calling over the refugee life.
Recently, Ed gathered 80 Ukrainian believers to discern God's will for their missionary calling. The time together provided encouragement and preparation. Most importantly, however, it provided a sense of purpose and belonging as foreigners in a foreign land.
Pray for Ed and Hia Kim as they give themselves to this work of seeing refugees become missionaries to Germany with them.
Pray also for the Ukrainian believers who are joining this missionary force. Pray for healing from past war trauma even as they embrace a new missional life in Germany.
When a person loses everything that had been gained through hard worked, a certain hunger emerges for storing up treasures that moths and rust cannot destroy. Such a hunger is core to loving like Jesus and living like a missionary.

Pete and Ursula Hubley
Since 2000, Peter and Ursula have been making disciples through intentional, relational ministry. After serving nine years in Bulgaria, they followed God’s leading to Sombor, Serbia, where they continue their work with World Partners. What began as lay leadership in their local church in Michigan has grown into a long-term calling to disciple-making in Eastern Europe.
Our Mission
The Hubleys live this out through hospitality, board game nights, shared meals, sports, crafts, and simply being present where people naturally gather. In cultures shaped by generations of communism—where trust is slow and relationships take time—they believe the gospel shines brightest through a faithful presence and love lived out day by day.
How You Can Join Them
They cannot do this alone. Your partnership makes this ministry possible.
You can keep up with their ministry and prayer needs by requesting to receive regular email updates. Email: PeterHubley@wpartners.org
