John Durham was arriving after me and he was on time and with all his bags! We start in the morning at 6:00 am going into Ukraine. It was good to see John and he was wilted from the trip and looked as I had to look yesterday. Still fighting jet-lag but things are going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonight, I had supper with Avery Hackney (Arnold, MO). Avery has been in Ivano-Frankivsk and leaves for Arnold, MO bright and early in the morning. His flight leaves at 6:00 am so that means he has to be at the airport at 4:00 am! Avery and I discussed the WBI preacher training school in Ivano-Frankivsk. The possibilities are exciting! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below are photos of Gif and Avery distributing benevolence items. These were going to hospitals and frontline villages. We appreciate the willingness of various units assisting us in getting these items delivered. In the photos you will see more of Hillsboro Church of Christ buckets being delivered. <strong><em>THANK YOU HILLSBORO CHURCH OF CHRIST!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I
