Packing today

We are busy packing today.

Saturday we made a day trip to Savannah to visit Tim and Darla Johnson (Missionaries in Kiev 1992-2000). Eye to eye, in-the-flesh visits are always so much more profitable than letters, phone calls, even burning bushes. See, this is why God saw necessary to send a man like us named Jesus, so he could really get the message of love across! They SO helped us to get our minds and our suitcases prepared to go!

We have been emailing Grady Bryan (Kiev resident, native Texan, English teacher) several times to nail down arrangements for when we get over there.

Our Mission for this trip is to “dip in our big toes” and to see how things go for us. We are scouting for long-term missions and making the best of our days on this short-term trip.

We are very thankful for the Ukraine Mission Work board and every church and individual who believes in this work for their time, their prayers, and financial support. We thank everyone who is reading up on us and we solicit your daily prayers.

And to the God who has answered the prayers of sending workers into the harvest, for the harvest is His. In Him we are confident that he will equip us for the work that He would have us do, His will be done. For we know that God does not call the qualified, but he qualifies the called.
