On the way I received an urgent message from Tanya saying \u201cBorders are closed.\u201d All mission trips for 2020 fell victim to COVID-19. I still have an airline ticket \u201csomewhere\u201d in Delta\u2019s system and \u201chopefully\u201d I will get to use it (this is the message I received).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today I am departing from Montgomery, AL and will arrive in Ukraine later tomorrow night. The thoughts of the travel ordeal are overshadowed by the anticipated joy in meeting with beloved brethren in Ukraine. On this trip the schedule calls for me to visit these locations and visit a number of sites in each one: Ivano-Frankivsk, Kherson, Kyiv, Vinnytsia, and Odesa. I will be teaching classes on Church Growth and the Book of Colossians in Ivano-Frankivsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As often as possible I will send reports updating the trip. A special THANK YOU to those who have donated funds that help covered expenses: Harold &amp; Jean Bridges, Calvin &amp; Connie Donnell, the Knob Creek Church of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John L.
