Perry and Inna are in Village Zelena. He sent this message:
We didn’t leave the hotel until 10:45 as Inna was running late. We stopped and bought food for ourselves and Galena. We arrived at 1:15pm with welcome arms and a nice warm cabin by Peter. We only stayed long enough to unload because Galena was waiting to serve a fabulous meal that was impossible to eat because there was so much, I should have taken a picture!
We had another wonderful Bible discussion but had to leave at 4pm to visit another relative of Ivan we have not met Taras and Galena. They work in a hotel John that you saw under construction a few years back, it is gorgeous, settled up higher in the mountain. I believe another door is opened for the gospel of salvation as we were invited back. We did not leave until 9pm.
Ivan is having discussions with a priest here in the village who is reading the Bible and has many questions and hope to set up a meeting. This is exciting!
Today I am working on a Bible lesson from 1 Peter 1 talking about the main thought of the supplements God what us to have for a healthy Christian life.
The plan for the rest of the week will be distributing buckets, visiting the school, meeting another family, and hopefully visit the ones we met last fall and of course our evening Bible studies with Bogdan, Galena, Peter and Tanya.
Bogdan and Galena wanted to come to worship this Sunday with the brethren in Ivano-Frankivsk, so instead of coming back to Zelena we plan to back in Ivano-Frankivsk. I’ll send you updates.

Continue praying for our efforts! “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that I may make it clear in the way that I ought to proclaim it.” (Colossians 4:2-4)
