Thursday in the Ukraine

2009-07-09T11:55:00.001-07:00

There were 33 decisions for Christ made yesterday and I think we might have more tomorrow.

The weather has been very cooperative and our students are doing well. No medical issues, to travel problems, no lost luggage, and today we had great shade...it has been very hot all week.

We will have a Ukraine review Sunday the 19th. Please come and join us.

Pastor Brandon

2009-07-08T05:21:00.000-07:00

It is a rainy Wednesday afternoon. The rain held off until the last 30 minutes of our morning camp. Aubrie did a great job teaching today. She shared the Gospel and we hope to get a good idea of how many kids accepted Christ at our nightly meeting. Right now I know that number is at least 15…GOD IS GOOD!

It is 7:15 am Rockford time and 3:15 here in the Ukraine. We are heading out for our evening VBS pray that the rain will not keep kids from coming out.

Pastor Brandon

UKRAINE REPORT!!!!!!!!

2009-07-07T05:20:00.000-07:00

It is 7am Rockford time and 3pm here in Brovary, Ukraine. I ran into a computer with internet so I wanted to say hello and give a quick update. Everything is going well. We are seeing more kids than we expected…so many that we are not able to do crafts with all the students...this is a good problem!

We are doing 2 Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) each day, one from10-1:30 and a second from 4-7. The second VBS is in a new place, a place that no church has touched and we very encouraged for the first day on the site.

I have to go, they are calling for us to get on the vans…it has only been one day and we already have great stories to share. Please fit our Ukraine report in your schedule. It will be Sunday, July 19 during first hour in the high school room.

God is Good…Please keep praying! I will update more if we can.

Pastor Brandon

Received this text from the team at 8:15am Sunday morning:

"Arrived safe in Kiev, on way to Brovary. Warm and sunny Sunday!"

I'm not sure how often the team will be in communication, but if I hear anything else I'll post it here! On a side note, today is Brandon's birthday!
