Ukraine.Yes please!

Getting ready to head Ukraine….again… We are truly thankful that the Lord allowed for us to come back home for a few weeks to refresh and rejuvenate. Though these two weeks have flown by, we were so blessed to be able to spend them with our friends and community of faith. Kate and I have been able to spend some much-needed time with our daughter and at work. It was such a blessing to get to help our men’s ministry with leading worship at their annual Ironman Retreat, plus I was able to fill in on the 22^nd with leading our contemporary service again.  For the last two weeks I was able to preach two sermons on Trust in Tough Times, this is a message I felt God laid on my heart on the way home from Ukraine but truly landed at a time that some of our students desperately needed it.

We are rested and as prepared, as we will ever be to face the final SDA appointment. We fly out tomorrow and will arrive in Ukraine Tuesday just in time to have our big appointment Wednesday 2pm (6 am Central Standard). We are nervous and excited. Please be praying for us. The best outcome is that we will chose a referral, however that still means that we will have to turn down children. We still have very clear imagines, names and sad stories of the other children that we turned down but know that the Lord is guiding us through this entire process. We can’t wait to be back in Ukraine and look forward to the journey he will lead us on. No matter the outcome we truly trust our Lord and know that it is his will above ours.
