Voice Week

Here are some pictures from Voice week. Voice is our annual week long English course. It took place a few weeks ago and it was a really great week. We had about two hundred people come all five nights. It was a very comfortable, friendly place for people to come and work on their English and also be challenged to think about God. They heard the gospel every night. Over the past few weeks we have seen a handful of people come to church. It is encouraging to see God revealing himself to people here in Chernigov.
A wonderful group of people came from Fellowship In The Pass Church, our home church, to help with Voice. They were eager and ready to do whatever they could to help out. They were a true joy to be with! I'm very thankful that we were able to have them come and serve with our church!
I have also included here, photos from our time in the orphanages, and photos of a dinner that we put on at a local rehab center we just recently started visiting.

These two had a great time with their classes! (They all did!)















It was one of the hottest weeks of the summer.



We went through so much water.



We visited three different groups of orphans in our area.



















The poeple at the rehab center were excited that we wanted to cook for them, but I think they were even more excited when they saw that we wanted to sit and talk and share the meal with them.

F.I.T.P. thanks again for coming!!!

Voice

Voice starts a week from today. Voice is the English course our church puts on as a way to serve our city and share the gospel! Many people in our church were first introduced to the gospel through outreaches just like this one. It is a great way to get to know people and it makes for many opportunities to share Christ. We have a group coming from FITP to help with Voice. They brought a team two years ago and it was one of the best teams we have ever had come along side our church. We are very excited to see what God does next week! Please be praying that God would do a work in hearts and that many would respond to the gospel!

Ps. these links are great!!!

Papa, Look What I Made

Gavin called me outside to show me what him and his little friend had been building. They named him Marlboro man. And we wonder why the kids start to smoke at such a young age!

This month marks our tenth year in Ukraine. We were looking through our old prayer cards remembering how gracious and merciful the Lord has been to allow us to live here. To witness God's power in saving lives here has been amazing. We are so very grateful for how He has cared for us and provided for our every need these past ten years. We are blessed to be able to live in Chernigov and be part of the church family here.
Thank you to all who have prayed for us for so long!!! Please keep praying for Ukraine.
