More about our dear friends in Ukraine...

Tuesday we were able to work on the scheduling for the rest of the week and continue our communication with the leaders we intend to meet with in Israel. We spent part of the day at Max and Nastya's house preparing for the Bible Study with the young leaders we have been walking with for many years.  Now they have grown with spouses and families, but still serving the Lord with Summer camps, handicap ministry, traveling choirs, and with missionaries throughout the Country!  God has given them great favor, blessed ministries and given them a hunger to grow and serve Him with all their hearts!! We had a tremendous time of Acts 2/4 fellowship and a special evening to surround two of our dearest ladies with prayer who are getting married this month!  Everyone had a blessing and a prayer to extend to them as we laid hands on them in Love!  Another beautiful couple who have started a tremendous, modern English speaking school for small children are bringing all kinds of creative teaching techniques, not only to their school but freely helping public school teachers with upgraded support and tools for kids in their classrooms. They love kids and have been praying for years for one of their own to share this love.  So all of our dear friends gathered around to pray and God's Spirit met with us in a profound way that filled all of our hearts!  Again, as it has been all week, by God's grace, no one wanted to leave.  It was almost grievous to pull away from the palpable Presence of the Lord and this precious gathering of His loved ones!
