During the trip we were constantly scheduled and enjoyed a number of opened doors that lay the groundwork for future efforts. As the reports sought to communicate, the opportunities offered are exciting and encouraging. I hope that you were able to read the reports and appreciated the photos that were approved. So much more could be added but what we sent should give a good idea of how things are going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I appreciate the communication from many during the trip. Here is a sampling of the encouraging words received:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJohn, You, have had a wonderful trip and I am personally thankful for God\u2019s plan for placing Gif in Ivano-Frankivsk. \u00a0I know you do. \u00a0I have followed your time there and have prayed for your success! \u00a0What wonderful opportunities you continue to take advantage of in the spreading of the GOOD NEWS to those who eagerly pursue Truth! Your past contacts are ever opening special opportunities for you! We will continue praying for that work and for Gif in particular. \u00a0Safe travels my friend! \u00a0May God continue to bless you and your special gift for work!\u201d (TN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJohn~ Thank you for your timely and comprehensive reports. It thrills me to see the church grow in Ivano-Frankivsk! Please give TZ a BIG Alaskan hug for me. May God bless you and all the brothers and sisters in Ukraine.\u201d (AK)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWonderful news \u2014 so much potential for <strong>The Galaxy Center<\/strong> and helping the children traumatized by war \u2014 the story to share is gradually being written \u2014 thanks again.\u201d (TN)\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I have returned to a FULL warehouse and two more truckloads are to be delivered before the end of May! We continue seeking donations to help us ship supplies critically needed for medical, food, clothing\/shoes, school, maternity, and special needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special THANK YOU shoutout to JERRY MAX MORGAN and JERRY MOORE in Holly Springs, TN! They paid half of the shipping costs for a container going to Zaporozhe where the war\u2019s devastation is awful and they paid for a container of food going to Ivano-Frankivsk that will be used to help feed a number of the orphanages visited on the recent trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for your prayers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John L.
