We are in Ukraine!!!!

Thanks for your prayers - all of our flights went well. We both had delays on our last leg of our trips, but we landed in Kiev and settled in Wednesday evening to our rooms at Christ Cathedral Church. We slept well & were out the door at 8:00 this morning. We had our conference with the ministry leaders at the Baptist Union & it went well. We had 93 women there from all of the regions of Ukraine....they were very open and eager to learn. They each went home with 2 copies of the HH bible study & a challenge to go through the bible study themselves and to ask God for one other woman to take through the study. We also shared the vision for all of Ukraine & cast the vision for each of them to go back to the leaders in the churches of their regions and share this information with them. So...pray for God to bring fruit and leaders with a heart for this ministry in all of Ukraine. We had a Seattle kind of day today & Teresa felt right at home with her umbrella walking in the pouring rain!!! We are off on a train tomorrow morning at 9:00 for Odessa - we arrive at 7:30 tomorrow night & have someone from the seminary picking us up. We will hold a conference on Saturday for the Baptist union women's minstry leaders from that region - we are planning for 80 women. Pray for safe travel & effective ministry. We will leave a post again from Odessa. We are good and excited to be back!!
