Greetings from Kiev!

Praise the Lord! We arrived in Kiev last night shortly after 11 pm after a multitude of delays and flight changes. The only way to describe the past couple is days is this: God is so great! Time after time we had the opportunity to see God answer prayer. Every time we would encounter a new "roadblock", we would stop and pray...which meant many many times over several days. We saw God open up flights and seats in supernatural ways. Though I am unable to go into great detail currently, I can say that after we arrived in New York, every flight, travel arrangement, and ticket detail did not make human sense. It has been very evident that GOD is the One that answers prayer and has power over the hearts of men. This experience has only strengthened our dependence on the Lord and encouraged our hearts in worship.

We would ask that you continue to pray for our luggage. Due to the many flight plan changes, our bags are still in New York. These bags contain everything, from our club supplies to changes in clothing. We are learning how to live off of one extra pair of clothing and hand washing the other...great lessons of what is truly necessary for living, and what is luxury. :) Our main concern is for the club supplies to arrive. Please pray that we will receive our baggage quickly. We have been informed that we will receive them Sunday at earliest, but most likely later. Once again, we are not discouraged by these challenges, only reminded of our dependence upon God. Please pray with us!

We just finished a very full and gracious meal provided by the ladies of Revival Baptist Church. We are now full and ready to begin our travels to camp. We will be leaving in about 30 minutes on a 6+ hour bus ride to the western side of Ukraine. The church is overwhelmed with how many children will be able to attend camp this year due to God's provision, even through you! They are anticipating around 100 children...praise the Lord! Please also pray that our bodies and hearts would be strengthened as we begin this next time of ministry. We know God's timing is best, and we are eager to see what lies ahead, even after we have witnessed the mighty hand of God during our travels.

The students and staff send love to their families. We are doing well and learning much! Thank you all for your prayers!
