Exciting New Developements!

By -
Looks like we're heading to Zhelty Vody tomorrow at around 3:00 AM! Since finding out only yesterday that the three children in ZV were available, and apparently the ones the Lord is bringing into our family, a lot of exciting things are falling into place quickly! What has seemed like an impossible situation has suddenly turned into a miracle A van was procured to take us to ZV in the morning, and then on to the coast where the children are currently at camp. There we will have our first opportunity to meet the children, so we are praying that this time with them goes well. I appreciate so much a word that the Lord gave Cris Mahy for us at a time when we needed it the most: 1 Thessalonians 5:24: " Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it!" We have so very much to be thankful for!!! More to come...

You're in my thoughts and prayers. I shared with our fellowship about the journey the Lord's taking you on, and we are upholding you in prayer as a church body.

Love and blessings,

Here it is Monday the 15 already, and looking back on the past weeks' events I can only think what an incredible week it's been! First the amazing trip from Kiev to Zholty Vody, then on to Berdyans'k, then back to ZV for one day (two nights) and finally back to Berdyans'k (300 miles, 6 hrs driving one way) where we have been enjoying sun, sand, surf, and most of all, interaction with the children we hope to adopt; Katya, Sasha, and Shurick. It's truly something that only God could have brought to pass! All the details that fell perfectly into place in order for us to have this wonderful opportunity to be with the children in this amazing setting could have never been scheduled or orchestrated by us! It's been amazing to Lisa and I how quickly our children have bonded in spite of the language barriers: truly, love knows no bounds! I spent some time today teaching Sasha and Shurick some chords on the guitar, which they really seemed to enjoy, then Sasha picke...

A fter our busy Sunday, Monday morning dawned a little too early but we finished packing, loaded the van and tidied our cabin.   B oth families came down to say goodbye and after a sweet prayer ti me we started o ur trip to Ukraine. We stopped in Tchew at the home of our friends (Piotr and Marisha) and enjoyed fellowship with their family and Yanush and his family f or an hour.   They had large plates of delicious pastries prepared for us, along with lots of coffee and tea. They also gathered around us and prayed for us, and we felt that we were saying goodbye t o family as we pulled away from their home. Jewish Ghetto Memorial Poland has a re ally nice toll road and we traveled on this until we safely reached "Varshava" as Warsaw is pronounced.  Ben had contacte d Jerzy Schmiel, a gentleman who was instrumental in arranging the tours that he and the other younger siblings t ook part in years ago in Poland.   It was a ma zing tha...
