Getting Started in Mykachevo

Hello from Mykachevo, Ukriane! 

Here is a short team video with a personal update from me. 



If you are not able to watch the video, here is a summary of my prayer requests.

For truth and peace in Ukraine. Please pray for an end to the war in the east of the country and for absolute truth to prevail. That people will put their faith and trust in God and not government. 

I inured my knee yesterday. It’s not serious, but please pray that it will not cause any problems as the church in Ternopil blessed me with a bicycle as a going away gift and I have been riding almost every day, getting to know the city and the people. I will be very sad if my knee develops any serious problems and I won’t be able to ride.

Gypsy Camp Outreach at the end of August. Please pray for planning and provision for children’s ministry worker’s, food to prepare a lunch each of the four days, and ministry to the adults. Please also pray for wisdom for future ministry in the camp for children, adults and medical ministry. The children also need coats and shoes for winter if you would like to help, please contact me. 

Mykachevo Living Water Outreach Aug 5- 10. Please pray for the Americans coming to do street evangelism and for preparation for a coffee house, concert featuring Josh Pratt from Lviv, Ukraine, and for two Question and Answer Nights , “Interrogate the Americans” and "Interrogate the Pastor”  Please pray that all we do will lead people to Jesus Christ.

Worship Team. Our worship leader is leaving for an unknown amount of time, and those of us here on the team will be stepping in the lead worship. Please pray for me as I am learning keyboard and guitar to help out. I do play these instruments, but have never lead worship, so it is a big challenge as I only have a few weeks to prepare. Please also pray for others on our team as we will all be helping out in this new venture in faith. 

Thank you so much for your love, prayers and support. I would not be able to be here without you. God bless you all!
