Eastern Ukraine

The family all gathered for Vera Bokoch's birthday party and God worked our schedule out perfectly!  Stepan Bokoch is the regional pastor for the Dnipro Oblast and pastors here are preparing to meet with pastor's from the Kharkiv region, beginning this next Monday for a three day ministry conference.  We could definitely use your prayers!  There are a lot of moving parts and challenges!
  Today, Sunday, Stepan and I spoke at a local church, dear folks who are serious about Jesus!  We had a second night of family gathering and I was asked to share more with these loved ones, in the picture, for about an hour.  I felt like we should talk about husbands and wives and the Holy Spirit was again with us!  Many of the things that are familiar to us, are brand new for them but people were very open and hungry!  We finished with a sweet time of prayer for each other and many tears of tenderness!  

  We never know just how the Holy Spirit is going to show up but when He does it always puts a permanent mark on our lives!  After our time together around a big dinner, the men hopped right up and started helping the women clear the picnic tables and working in the kitchen together! "Mine eyes have seen the glory..."
