Catching Up & Looking Forward
Catching Up:
The
last time I wrote was on March 11th. Michael left on the 12th
and got home yesterday after a few days in England and France. We all miss him!
He did a great job of starting things up!
On
Saturday, the 16th, we had a fun night at my place and we had 19
people – including 6 kids I think! It was a lot of fun!!
On
Sunday, the 17th we had 13 for Class and Worship.
I
decided to have my Bible Class – Series on Growing A Christian Family and my
sermon – Series of Growing In Christ – translated and handed out. It was well
received! I also started a new newsletter/bulletin. The newsletter was kind of
rough but I think this weeks will be better!
On
Monday morning I left with my friend and translator Sergey for Krakow, Poland
to get my Visa. This is so I can get my Temporary Residency which is good for
one year. Then I can get my Permanent Residency, which sounds a whole lot
better to me! With some trials and extra costs, which we didn’t expect, we got the
Visa! We returned to Kremenchuk around 4pm on Thursday. The last day and half
have been real busy working on lessons, bulletin, add for future Bible Clubs
and now this!
Looking Forward:
Sunday
we will have a new look bulletin and outlines (you can have copies for the request!)
for Sunday.
Next
Sunday the 31st, will be election day for President and many people
will work extra for extra income on that day.
Saturday
and Sunday, April 6-7 we will have our first young single Ukrainian man, come
and be considered for the Lord’s work with us. His name is Ivan. Please pray
for him and for us. We may have a 2nd
man ready to come on the 21st. We’ll see.
April
13th and 14th we will begin our Bible Clubs!! I have been
working on an advertisement to take to the schools and distribute other places.
One
step at a time, right? Things are going pretty good but the busy level is about
to escalate!
God
bless you always!
Love
in Christ,
Doug
