NEWS FROM OUR UKRAINE MISSION TEAM!!

Good news from the Ukraine!! Today is Wednesday so the team will be going to church tonight. They probably got to rest more this afternoon. Pray for them especially as a few of them, maybe all will be speaking at church tonight. Pray that God will let them know what they should say and give them the courage to say it. Not all of the team is all that comfortable speaking in front of groups. (that would be me!) Tomorrow, they will likely be traveling to Skytka which is a 20 minutes bumpy van ride. The children here are poorer and just as sweet. This village doesn’t have a church building. They meet in a house or outside, depending on the weather. This is the village where the little girl has the bad burns on her neck and chest. Hopefully, down the road, we can help to facilitate the surgery she will one day need as her skin grows and stretches. She is beautiful, quiet and so sweet and is about 5 years old. This is also the village where last year we found one of our young friends (about age 13) with a leg that had been operated on 9 months previously yet he was still on crutches. John and I have known him since 2006. I pray his leg is better and if not, I pray God will provide a way to get him some help. A 13 year old doesn’t need to be on crutches if it’s not necessary. It’s about 5pm for them right now…church is at 7pm. Take care and keep praying…
