“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Our editorial team of the “God’s Vineyard” magazine is working on the next issue of the magazine. We hope you will experience special joy turning its pages at the 88th Convention of the Pacific Coast Slavic Baptist Association.

This will be our final issue of the year. Looking back, we are grateful for every issue we have been able to prepare. Our purpose remains the same: we want the magazine to be more than a beautiful publication. Above all, we want it to bring spiritual benefit, help readers grow stronger in their faith, and remind them of the riches of God’s grace.

There is a time for everything, appointed by God. We do the work of preparing the magazine, but we believe the Lord guides this ministry as well. Each year, we have prepared an issue for the convention with joy, seeking to bring readers encouragement and spiritual growth through its articles and other materials. This year is no exception.

Today, we also want to share an important need with you: our editorial team needs a designer. We are looking for someone to join this ministry and help create beautiful, meaningful, and inspiring issues. The apostle Paul’s words, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord” (Colossians 3:23), are especially dear to our team. We hope someone will answer this call with the same spirit.

Finding a designer soon is very important to us. We appeal to everyone who values the magazine: let us do all we can to ensure that this year’s final issue is not the magazine’s last.

If you have an interest and skills in design, or if you know someone who could become part of our editorial team, please contact us. We would be glad to welcome someone who will help continue this good work with love and dedication.

For now, may the final issue of this year be another source of spiritual encouragement to each of us. We entrust all that lies ahead to the One who knows all things and governs all things.

With love,
Lyuba Pavlyuk
Magazine Editor
