Trip report #17— “With such God is pleased”

Featured Photo: Our shipments are heavily weighted with medical supplies and equipment. These are desperately needed. The reception of the commodities we ship is overflowing with gratitude! This photo is “somewhere” on the front line as doctors and nurses sort for various triage units, clinics, and hospitals.

The framing of our mission objective: Hebrews 13:16, “And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”

NOTE: Several communications are combined for the below.

Sitrep from the Front!

We share with militaries who spread it to others in the Cherson region and also in three other regions on the frontline. The medicines that we receive are sent by the post service (Nova Posta) to the hospitals. This makes sure they are immediately delivered.

 The photos are not too good because the people are more urgent in getting supplies out to the needy than in posing for photos. They take the photos quickly.

Of course, you know the regulations about allowing just anyone to use photos sent to you so they raise money from the suffering of our nation. I know you do not do this, but many others do. And they even post photos of children with their names. It is a sad fact. It is criminal. And many doing this are Americans who think their social media makes them superior to Laws but they do not realize they are giving information to Russia. (Note from John: I have received similar messages like this from African and Central Asian nations where we ship containers.)

We also provide constant support for large families where the mother raises the children alone.

Tomorrow we will come at 10 with our volunteer doctor (Svetlayna, who is a GYN surgeon). She is to check the medicine for the neonatology department; she is specialized in it. She is working on things going immediately to the frontline. She looks at what Church of Christ sends and is speechless! That is good.  Till 11 we will arrive with our volunteers to meet with you also and take a part in worship. See you tomorrow.

Thank you for your support!

Some of the photos sent are in the slideshow below. The front puts them into a collage to get it out quickly while internet connections are briefly available, so Russian drones will not detect the signal and attack. FYI…in case you do not notice…in the photos, the men are the lions and the women are the lionesses!

AGAIN NOTE: The photos shown in this report (and all other communications) are NOT to be forwarded or published in any way! The photos can be mined for location coordinates for military strikes. The environment and censorship requirements mandate that I make this point.

I ask you to remember my trip in prayer with the Apostle’s request in Ephesians 6:19, “(O)n my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.”
