Ukraine Fall 2009 Report #7


Sunday Oct 25th Report # 7


We were up early Sunday as Vadym had to take the van we were using, back to the owner. Every Sunday there is a massive vehicle market just outside Ivano with literally hundreds of vehicles of every shape size and year. The van was left for the day and if not sold, we would get it back on Sunday night, which in fact we did.


As the meeting is at 3pm on Sunday, 5pm during the week, we spent our time getting ready. We went a little early so that we could put the heater on but it didn’t do too much as the room was very cold and is made of very thick concrete and so retains the cold.


Just over 20 people came to meeting and gave good attention. Howard gave gospel message and I spoke from 1 Peter 2 on the subject of “What does God expect in a New Testament Church?” It was obviously new to some there but I saw many nodding in agreement with the scriptures.


One of the young ladies who is usually at the meetings, Tania, had to work at the coffee shop she now works for, so we went to visit her. Some of you will remember that it is her mother that has been receiving “treatment” for want of a better word, for a problem with the end of her nose where the skin has “slid off”, which is the best way to describe it. Tania told us that they have spent somewhere near $8,000 in treatments and medications. Her nose has not healed but she is able at least to cover it, I suppose, and go to work.


We came home and are trying to plan our week of visitation and distribution.
