The itinerary has me departing immediately after the morning worship assembly at the Dalraida Church of Christ<\/a>. I will fly to Atlanta, Netherlands, Poland, and then travel into Ukraine. John Durham is coming and will be a traveling companion. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Gif and the good work he continues to do in Ivano-Frankivsk. Tanya has scheduled all aspects of the trip, and I continue receiving requests even as she says our schedule is overflowing. Just last night I received these two messages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Lesia at the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Oncology Hospital: \u201cHello John! Nice to hear from you! We will be happy to invite you in our hospital and to show how it changes thanks to you!!! Do you want to come on Thursday next week?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From \u201cCol Sam\u201d: \u201cL[et] M[e] K[now] when you’ll be available. I need to go to Poland on 26 April but yes, we really must meet! I’m in Odesa now until at least 16th, maybe until 20th.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wished there were MORE hours in a day and more days in a week? That\u2019s where I am as this trip begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be posting trip reports and photos as possible. You can subscribe to receive automatic updates or you can go online to read the reports at the website. On the website is a library of reports, updates and news about our efforts. The website is accessed at this link: https:\/\/www.kachelman.com\/ukraine\/blog\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the trip has been approaching, things have been more than busy. In addition to the daily communications and other necessary actions, we have loaded and unloaded items shipped to Ukraine. The last two containers loaded give you insight to the AMAZING work that is being done in the Lord\u2019s Name and through His Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
