Today was filled full once again with a number of visits and meetings. Two remain in my memory. The first was to the District Hospital in Lysets. Many years ago, I visited this hospital in follow-up assessment on the distribution that churches of Christ sent in response to the 2008 floods. Since that time the congregation in Ivano-Frankivsk has been in constant contact and has supplied more needed materials. Jim Akridge and the Clarkson, KY congregation shipped an entire container to this hospital in 2017. Today I was taken on a tour showing that the items Clarkson sent were being used. The Chief Doctor is Taras. He has done a remarkable job in upgrading the facility. Jim had included a commercial clothes washer in the container and the hospital was very grateful for that. See photos of the visit and assessment below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon I returned to Lysets and attended the class that Julia Didukh has been teaching for 2 years. It is conducted in the rented room where the Lord’s Church assembles for worship and Bible study. It is voluntary class where children attend and are taught English, Bible morality and character, and crafts. The class has two sessions\u2014one for younger children and one for older children. I attended the younger age class. There were 10 children present and Julia did an outstanding job in teaching and directing the students in their learning. The Bible lesson was the \u201cGood Samaritan.\u201d Many of the children knew the parable because they have a \u201cChristian character building\u201d class in their public schools. Their knowledge of the parable was impressive and is a compliment to the school teacher. In a culture dominated by \u201cpriests\u201d it was interesting to hear the children give the explanation, approved by the local priests to be taught in the class, as to why the priest did not stop\u2014the priest passed by on the other side either because he was hurrying to the Temple or because he was afraid the robbers were lurking in the bushes and would attack him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day ended with another good\nBible study. Tonight, we began discussion of Philippians 2:1-4 that presents\nthe Apostle Paul\u2019s plea for unity. The attendance was down from other classes\n(9 were present) and was explained by a number of reasons with illness being\nthe major factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue praying for all aspects\nof our efforts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
