Here is one of Doug’s posts that he just sent to me. I thought you would enjoy reading it. Doug has been a valuable member of our mission team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today Caleb and I spent most of\nthe day in Lysets, along with Vova, (the preacher of the new congregation\nthere), and Nastya to translate. Vova\u2019s English is good enough to translate\ntoo, so we decided to split up at the school in order to double the number of\nclasses we could visit. The Principal welcomed us with open arms and the\nteachers welcomed us into their classes so that their students could hear\nactual Americans speak. Of course, the students were excited to have a\ndiversion from their usual class work. After the classes, we were served lunch\nin the school lunchroom \u2013 another opportunity to enjoy some of the local\ncuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After lunch we inspected a house\nthat the congregation in Lysets is to purchase for a meeting place (the\nClarkson, KY congregation oversees this work). It is a good location, situated\nin the center of the Lysets and within walking distance of Starry Lysets. It\nhas much potential to be a very serviceable facility, (with some work). Then we\nwent to the rented space where the church is now meeting and joined Vova\u2019s wife\nJulia for one of her after school reading classes. She is of course using Bible\nstories as the textual basis for her lessons and doing an outstanding job! We\nalso had an opportunity to meet some of the parents who seemed very\nappreciative of the opportunity to have her children attend those classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We made it back to the Ivano-Frankivsk\nchurch just in time for the evening study session. Gif delivered some very\nmeaningful points in the group presentation and Nick Revels did an outstanding\njob of leading the men\u2019s discussion group. It is inspiring to watch this young\ncongregation, now five years old, begin the process of maturing into an\nautonomous congregation of the Lord\u2019s church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems as if just when the ball\nstarts rolling it\u2019s time to jump off! We start the journey homeward tomorrow,\nfeeling greatly blessed to have had the opportunity to touch the lives of the\npeople of Ukraine with the love of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pray for our on-going efforts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
