Thursday

We arrived in Pervomaisk this afternoon and the home where Teresa and I are staying has a computer! The train ride went well except for the fact that Kathy came down with the stomach flu at 2:00 in the morning. She was up most of the night and hasn't eaten anything all day. Please pray for healing for her and pray that if it is a flu bug that it will not spread through the team. So far we are all feeling fine. I am fighting a bit of a cold...so health issues have dragged us down a bit. We are very encouraged and know that God has Big things planned for Ukraine! Valentina picked us up at the train station and we went to a home for a nice lunch. We had a great meeting with Valentine & got updates on ministry and planned for our leaders meeting. Teresa and I are staying in a very nice Ukrainian home - it is very European. Warm showers felt great after a 23 hour train ride! Will post when we can. Pray for good health & for effective ministry tomorrow as we meet with the leaders. Valentina also invited some people from the Bible Institue & reported that the new director is very supportive of this ministry. Thanks for your support. love, Barb (Teresa & Kathy)
