Now that Louie and Malcolm and Howard had come and gone the feel and mood here has change, it’s no longer quite the same! God has truly used these men here in this little town! They along with Eric and others who have come have had a big impact on the lives of the people here. Many do not read their own Bible or understand the Word of God or the Love of God or how to love God and live a Christian life. This is where these men had the greatest impact in teaching them both by word and by deeds! May God bless these men and may others step forward so to be used by God as these men have! A big Thank You for their example!
Thursday the 18 was students’ day. There was a dj in the center square and in many of the fast food places and students walking all through the town at the same time, it did seem a little odd until I found out what was going on.
We are no longer having a Thursday meeting since the men have left. If the time comes when a Thursday meeting is desired then we will start again when visitors come.
On Friday we had our meeting with the Director of the prison. The meeting went well but very strict and went by the book (it always helps if you have connections, we didn’t). They will send our documents along with a copy of my passport to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. If they approve, it will only give us a two week period in December and we will have a chance to visit four prisons, all this work just for two weeks, pray God will bless this time!!
Saturday not many were out for the children’s meeting. We had a big whopping three and this is including us, but still took advantage of an open and empty gym! Earlier this week I had posted invitations on nearby apartment buildings for the meetings, then after the meeting I went back and most of the invites were already taken down, most likely the day after they were put up.
On Sunday we stayed in Ivano and had our meeting, the time will change since lviv changed their time from 12 to 10, ours will change from 4:30 to 3:00. Lighter than usual since some are sick but was still a good meeting and nice to see Michalo out again. He will be going into the hospital for two weeks to check for problems he has been having since his eye surgery.
Had a good meeting on Wednesday about 10 and was very glad to see Andre out (Vadym’s Father In-law). His daughter got married this past weekend and said he will like to make it to the meetings more often and will try to come next week, do hope to see him again!
Pray that the Lord will protect this little gathering here in Ivano and the outreach to the schools and orphanages and prisons and for the people to people relationships that are still developing. All are in great need of prayer and God’s intervention!!
In Christ our Lord
