Report #1—Ukraine Missions Trip Spring 2015
After a wonderful weekend in Montgomery, AL with the Dalraida church of Christ I have arrived in Kyiv Ukraine and have begun the activities of the 2015 Spring Mission Trip. I was warmly welcomed at the airport and all bags arrived and Customs were so nice they stayed away from me! It was the best entry yet!
I want to thank all that are involved in supporting the mission efforts and the trip and all aspects of our work for the Lord! The supporters are listed on the web site but I want to start out the mission trip by listing them below. Without these brethren I could not be able to do what I am doing. THANK YOU!
The following are those who have contributed monthly, one-time, or quarterly; or for the orphans; and some for trip expenses:

In checking emails that have accumulated while I was in transit, I found one that told me a container of 26,361 pairs shoes is ready to ship!
John, I hope all is well and I have been traveling quite a bit and just not had the opportunity to assign this. I wanted to let you know that I have a container ready for you in China. Here is the information.

These shoes will be going into Displaced Peoples Camps where children and women are being housed. You will see photos and reports from these locations later in the mission trip’s reports.
It has been a long day for me and I do not know where Tuesday went—it still seems like Monday to me!
