Home

Our hearts are full of rejoicing with the mighty hand of God moving through our time in Yellow Water, Ukraine! The local pastors, Igor & Lena, did a super job organizing our ministry time. We were blessed to have so many opportunities and of a good variety...the orphanage visits, children's camp, 3-day Encounter, church services, boy's center/prison, women's creative time, street ministry/concert. There was a picnic at the lake and it was terrific! We all are looking forward to trying shish-ka-bob at home!

It was wonderful to know there were many people praying for the ministry God layed before us. He gave us endurance and grace to keep the demanding pace and blessed in mighty ways! Please continue to pray for the people in Yellow Water - God has an awesome plan for them! We are honored to be a small part of it.

Obviously, we were not able to write up-dates due to poor internet service in the area. We will soon try to write more and post a few pictures.
