Back in Kiev

We arrived back in Kiev this morning at 7:00 and our train ride went well.....we got some sleep off and on. Barb had a little encounter in the hall with a drunk man swinging his empty bottle around....and we decided to lock the door to our coupe while we slept - God is our protector! We had a great meeting with Rhonda & Lueben at their home yesterday afternoon and they took some copies of our bible study, so we will pray for God to open some doors for her to minister to post-abortive women and to find someone that has a heart for this ministry in their Baptist church. We were glad to get to our little room and take showers, use a nice bathroom and catch a little rest. We had a brave adventure today. We gave Julia our translator the day off and we ventured downtown alone for the first time. We took the subway, exchanged money, bought phone cards for our cell phones, went out for lunch, bought ice cream cones, took a walk down Kryshatuck street and took the subway home!!! It was a lovely sunny day close to 70 and we enjoyed a little freedom around Kiev. We just met with 6 women all involved in pro-life in Ukraine - it was good to learn more about what they are doing and some interesting facts & statistics about abortion. We gave them each a copy of our HH study and will pray for God to bring some fruit. Pray for our conference on Saturday and our opportunity to have lunch with the Marchenko's on Sunday - We want to talk to them a bit about establishing a ministry at Transformation Church - pray for us to be bold and to understand them and their church better. Thanks for your support & we will update when we can. love, Barb & Teresa
