Sunday had our meeting here in Ivano, 16 were out including Vadym and his Wife and daughter. Nice to see some out who haven’t been out for a while. After the meeting had dinner with Vadym and his family, it was good to see them all together as a family!
Monday called to confirm our appointment with the Mayor and Priest but they could not make it being out of the village so we reschedule for Tuesday. We then called a few of those who come to the meetings and signed up to receive clothes and then headed out to a village called Hgrushka. We were told that we would be in the Village Hall to speak to the people but instead we were taken to a small cold office room and spoke to about ten people, I do not know if this is what they meant by a village hall? Though small the meeting went quite well, they listened very carefully and afterwards were very thankful for what they heard! The Mayor said they will be having a special event and would like for us to come and speak then, she well call us, we’ll see?
Tuesday left in the morning to a village called Nigzniv to meet with the Mayor and Priest. As we arrived to the Mayor’s office no one was there so we called him and of course he was out of the village again but said the Priest will meet with us but where is he, we couldn’t find him, so we waited and when he arrived we were finally able to talk. Though we did talk it was clear by his body language and facial expression and the tone of his voice that we were not welcome by him in this village!! After a little while in talking to the man it was disturbing to see how he was using the Word of God for his own agenda and for controlling the people, truthfully it was quite disgusting to see and even to shake this man’s hand! But God is true and just and he will have to answer to Him one day soon, hope this man turn’s from his ways and turn to the one who is The Way!
Had our evening meeting, about 11 out and listened well!
Wednesday had an appointment with the principal in school 22. We talked about having regular meetings with the Christian ethic class. He said he would like to continue to have us come but got some negative feedback from their Board of Education, he had us come without their consent. It had nothing to do with what was said but with not knowing who we our. The principal suggested that we should write a letter explaining who we are and our purpose here in Ukraine, he believes the Board will accept us into their school system and then he would like for us to come back, plan to give them a letter soon. Then later this evening I received a call from Tarrus, he came with me to talk to the Director of the prison. He was calling me to say he hasn’t heard from them yet and after some talk we hung up, less than five minutes later Tarrus called me back and said the person from the prison called him and approve our request to visit the prisoners, we will go next week to plan the dates.
Thank you for all your prayers! Please continue, need prayers in all these meetings and the Lord’s protection and guidance !!
In Christ our Lord!
