Welcome to our new website!

We are privileged to serve as missionaries to the people of Ukraine and are once again living back in Ukraine! It is such a joy and privilege to be back here in the land and among the people that we love.

We continue the process of making a minor change to our "brand", though that minor change will touch nearly everything. Since 2009 when we started on this missionary journey, we have been "The Reed Report". The change we are making is this - to drop the word, "The", making our brand simply, "Reed Report". This will take time, and eventually everything will be based on this new website URL (reedreport dot org) instead of our previous website (thereedreport dot org). We know that on some platforms we may need to be creative because ReedReport may already be taken, but we will work to be as consistent as possible across platforms. Why the change? Just to make our brand simpler and shorter. Thank you for your patience as we gradually work through the brand changes. In addition, we are using a new tool for communications. Rather than using our private Facebook group as our primary method for communication, we are now basically writing a blog using a tool called Epistle that we have grown to love. Please go here for more information. 

Because of the war in Ukraine, we were back in the US for about 20 months - from March 2022 until early November 2023. We did a "modified" itineration by visiting many churches, but not as many as if we were itinerating. And we spent more than half of our time in Iowa City, IA so Denise could be near her now 92-year-old parents.

We then lived in Warsaw, Poland for six months, from November 2023 until early May 2024. Even though this move was not our first choice, we followed God in obedience and trusted His plans for us. Before the war started, God told us that we should move to a different city. So since our return, we have been living in Poltava. You can read more about our new home here.

Please pray for peace in Ukraine, for God to do a miracle, for the church to be bold in sharing about Jesus, and for people to continue to respond to His love in repentance. For some ideas on how to pray for Ukraine during this time, please read this document. Thank God that the churches are growing. Revival is breaking out in Ukraine. Before the war, at best, it seemed that no more than 2% of Ukrainians were true, born again, believers. God has been moving mightily since the war began, and we are sure that this number is higher. But even with an increase, the need is still very great!

In Ukraine, we partner with a newly formed union (or group) of churches called the Pentecostal Assemblies of Ukraine (PAOU). Unfortunately, our former partners, Churches of Praise, suffered a split. These churches are the majority subset of that former union. They are connected with the Assemblies of God in Canada, and we already see a major change in how these churches cooperated with each other. New churches are being planted and several have already joined the union. God's hand of blessing is evident and we are excited about the future!

AGWM approved an extension of our term until April 30, 2026, shortly before we left the US last fall. That means our next planned itineration (also called furlough or deputation) is scheduled to begin then.

Phil also is still responsible for our two Pattern Apps for Ukrainians - one in Ukrainian and the other in Russian. These can be used by anyone who speaks those languages, but we are planning to focus the future Bible studies on topics that correlate to the experiences of the nation of Ukraine. To read more about these apps, click here.

If you feel led to give to Ukraine aid, and to help our pastors and friends there, or to help support the Pattern Apps, please go here to our giving page to learn how. Thanks!

In His Service!  Phil and Denise Reed
