I am sending this from the Little Rock National Airport where I am waiting to board a flight for Atlanta then to Amsterdam then to Kyiv.
I am looking at hour 1 of a 30 hour jaunt!
This mission trip will find a number of others joining me in the efforts to strengthen the Lord’s Church and broaden the gospel’s horizon.
In Atlanta I am to join David Hamrick and Howell Ferguson. Together we will fly the remainder of the trip arriving in Kyiv, Ukraine where we will be met by Tanya and Olga and then go into Ivano-Frankivsk arriving around 10:00 p.m. Tuesday night. David and Howell are coming to Ivano-Frankivsk to begin an extension of the WORLD BIBLICAL INSTITUTE (http://www.worldbibleinstitute.com/).
We should be joining Jerry Morgan who left the USA several days ago and has been following up on various works in Ukraine.
A good number from the Hillsboro congregation (Nashville, TN) will be joining us in a few days. Those in this group will be focused on teaching congregational leadership/planning to the men and Children’s Bible Class preparation and procedures to the women.
After the Hillsboro brethren leave there will be a group from the Dalraida congregation (Montgomery, AL) coming. This group will conduct evangelistic lessons in the village of Starry Lysets.
The schedules for each group are full and we anticipate amazing good to come!
Pray for our efforts as we begin this trip!
