Bishop Anatoliy GAVRILUK was a great friend and leader of the Body of Christ and the Charismatic Movement in Ukraine and throughout all of Eastern Europe. Led into the ministry under the influence and years-long guidance and support of his Overseeing Pastor, Bishop Dwayne Lusk, he grew rapidly from a committed member of a small fellowship of Christian believers in Kyiv into a strong, decisive leader of a powerful Church and leadership ministry in that city, which influenced the nations of Eastern Europe and beyond.
Today, churches and Christian Life Schools of Theology are scattered throughout Eastern Europe, Jerusalem, Viet Nam, Africa, and elsewhere, planted by members in diaspora of the ministry Bishop Anatoliy led. Converts to Christ number in the hundreds of thousands, and Christian's churches number in the thousands who trace their origins back to this man and his influence.
He and his wife Katya, their sons and daughters, have faithfully led thousands of believers, refusing to leave their beloved Ukraine, even though it has suffered through the war with Russia for the past five years. They, and ministries they founded or influenced, saved hundreds of lives by organizing the evacuation of Ukrainians from the war zone and removing them to neighboring countries for their safety.
This story, the story of the Apostolic ministry of Dr. Dwayne and Janice Lusk, and that of Anatoliy and Katya GAVRILUK, is one of missionary courage and commitment on a par with that of David Livingstone of Africa, William Carey of China, and Sam and Florence Sasser in Micronesia.
It is a story that must be told. I am calling upon the families of Dr. Dwayne and Dr. GAVRILUK to write and record this majestic story of love and courage as a Testimony to God's grace for the world to witness.

"And above all, let Christ be the center of every word. Not Christ as topic but Christ as life. Not Christ as doctrine but Christ as person. Not Christ as historical figure but Christ as present reality. When He is central, everything else finds proper place. When He is lifted up, He draws all to Himself. When He is ministered, transformation occurs." ~ Dr. Ronald Cottle

This is truly one of the best books I have read. It is so full of wisdom. It is the kind of book that you have to read multiple times to take it all in. There are questions at the back of the book that open even more depth of study. Fabulous book. A must read to build your understanding of interpretation - reading, understanding and applying the Word in our lives. - Jason Lewis

Spiritual Hermeneutics: A Biblical Study

08/13/2026

Good evening!

I received this from my thoughtful Spiritual Son, Darrin Collins, today. What a special person he is! This note, sent quietly to a friend, speaks volumes about his secret to success. I'm so proud and grateful for young men like him!

The Ekklesia is at a crossroads, but men and women like Darrin and Lindsay are the reason I have a strong, settled confidence that the greatest days of the Kingdom are emerging in this, their generation. Here are his words. Let them bless you today as they did me.

"I’m at the beach house pondering life as I normally do on my bday. It’s just how I am framed I guess. I start looking how great God has been to me over the decades

Today I am processing my next season deeply -- As I see clearer my tomorrows and I get a grasp on my real assignment to HIS BODY. I am asking him to make me like a pen in the hands of a ready writer. To write with me that which he designed before the earth was framed. If being used by him is all that I ever do in this life then I will lay it down one day and say “that was a life well lived!""

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week and a great weekend!!

Blessings!

Hello everybody,

This came from Apostle Lem Miller today. Great insight on the power of Covenant. Lem is one of my spiritual sons. BTW: He is also the Arm Wrestling Champion in his age group in Florida!!🤣🤪

"And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine… for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” — 1 Samuel 17:26

There are always giants in life. There are giants of sickness. Giants of fear. Giants of debt. Giants of addiction. Giants of depression. Giants of family problems. Giants of condemnation. Giants of generational iniquity. Giants that stand in the valleys of our lives every morning and every evening shouting, “You’ll never beat me.”

The devil has only one real weapon and that weapon is intimidation. He tries to convince us that his power is greater than God’s promise.

But David asked a question that no one else was asking:

“Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?”

Everyone else saw a giant. But David saw covenant.

You see, David knew he had a covenant…and he knew the giant had no covenant.

Verse 45 David says; “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, …47 for the battle is the Lords, and he will deliver you into my hands.”

The next time the giant of depression, oppression, sickness, disease, or fear, and intimidation come, it is time to declare; “ the battle is the Lords and he will deliver you into my hands.”

Papa Lemuel

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Blessings!

Ron

Servant Leadership: Lead by Serving, Serve by Leading

A note to my friends, colleagues, students, and supporters. Here is volume two in my Executive Leadership Series. Its predecessor, THE EFFECTIVE LEADER, has been a great success.

This book is a follow-up and my proudest achievement in the field. This pre-publication notice is my personal appreciation to you for our relationship and friendship.

Both volumes are now available in paperback on Amazon at Ron Cottle/books.
