Eric Fowler's Report #7

Eric Fowler’s report #7  
 March 19   
 We got up early and went to a village for Leanna's mom. Her mother has needed an operation for three years now. We had made an appointment at the Hospital with the Dr. we see all the time.  He is not just the head Dr. of the hospital but is head over all the Dr's of the region.  Leanna and her mom visited him. We went to the lady in charge of who has a daughter in Brampton Ontario and had nice visit with her.  We then came back to Leanna
and mom and the doctor is sending her to the cancer hospital. He told her what dr. to ask for.   We went just out of town to a little hospital. The lines were very very long . What a mess but        we would never have got anywhere without the name of the Dr. we saw. The Doctor had called as well and in less then and hour we are in the appointment. Nice to have connections.
We have to buy everything the dr. needs for operation, even to the gloves and mask, every last item.  We had to go back to the village again 40 min. out of town for Leanna's mom to get the things to be admitted to the hospital.  Neither Leanna or her mother expected to get treated so quickly, all because of the contact with the doctor we have had for years. We left her there for operation tomorrow  at 11am.
God is great and God is good.  Leanna is happy and this is a major step in her conversion, we trust.   We went and bought the mops and cleaning things on our way out of town from the cancer hospital.  We will take them to the dr. tomorrow. 
Gods great program of reaching souls often brings very hard work. Got tea and then went toOleg's building and got boxes of clothing for clothing distribution tomorrow.
We then went to supper with Svetlana's parents.  Sveitlana is home for 7 days from Dubai.  She is the girl who got saved  about three years ago and was our Interpreter for some years. Her dad
and mom we have met three time since we came.  They were very nice and great to talk.
We love to see them have a real interest in the Bible.  He would like to have a leather jacket so told him come tomorrow and see If the LORD has put one in some box for him.   He wants a pair of jeans too. Will see tomorrow what the Lord will do for him.   
 Came home finally and glad day is over.

 We are all slow in getting on the move today.  Yesterday was a long and big day. Our first stop is at the place where the clothing distribution will take place. Will meet Misha and the others that will help with three ladies and another man. Taras was to come from a bank and some of his workers but having trouble there today and couldn't come.
Banks are closing every day so the economy is getting worse, if this is even possible.
We made a visit to the Dr. to deliver the mops to him. He was very very happy. He is feeling      the pressure of losing three of his three best Dr.s to the war front.
   We then went back to the long 5 and half hours of dealing with over 235 people who came to get clothing. We gave out New Testaments, calendars, tracts and a bar of soap at the end. It went very well for sure all seemed happy that went through and also those that helped .  We had to get more boxes and the total was over 30 boxes. May it be a step to contacts for sure.
Many who come to the meetings came through as well.   Day over and stretched to the limit.

The week is coming to a close. We were praying about a mountain trip but it isn't working to that end.  It is still cold in evenings and may be snow up there. We haven't checked but the Lord maybe just keeping us safe this way.  

 We dropped off more sneakers to the orphanage here in town and dropped off more food and  clothing and blankets to Hilda the older lady who relatives are coming to the meeting.  It was nice she came so much last time but her health is preventing her this year. I believe she really got saved. She went to the Lusk conference last year and truly enjoyed it.  Was also to Lviv conference. Our God is so good to people.   We then went to visit Natalia, she is the lady with MS that we always visit. We got her medicine she needed.  Svetlanna went with us and we took her cd's of NT that I got in Canada for her.  She had some chapters of NT that Howard gave her before but this is all the books of the NT. We also gave her one for her friend who is also in a wheelchair. 
 We then met Sasha and his brother and took a fridge from his dad's place and to his apartment.  It would be nice to see Terrace and his wife come to meeting but he has never come. We then went and had supper with Luba. This was different as Luba  is the lady who broke her leg. Had a nice time with her daughter and granddaughter and Daughter in law. It has been years working there and very slow in making progress.
 One must never get tired of labouring even with one person.
We left there and got car washed which takes and hour and also got gas for the long trip tomorrow to lviv.  This is the last meeting in Lviv before we leave for Canada.

Woke early and ready to move. 

 Yaroslav came here and also Dema. Great to see Him go for sure we need young men like that.   Look to the Lord to save him and use him.   We went to pick up Sasha, who is never on time and for this trip shows no interest at all and wondered why he wants to go to Lviv. Victor is going he shows an interest but will have to be a great change in him. As far as I know spent 15 years in Prison and it truly has affected him .   Leanna is going again, even though her mom got the operation at the hospital on Friday but seems to be doing well.                                                       At the meeting we had 14 in the back and 15 to the Worship meeting . The meeting went very well and worship was nice.  Edmond spoke to the children and I spoke in Ministry.   I again spoke on Godliness ..... it's Beginning  ... It’s growth which will affect Our Worship.
Good trip home again here in Ivanno .... time to rest , read and Run to meeting again. I did expect a smaller meeting tonight as it was cold but when all settled in 33 was there.   After meeting we went and visited a Black lady and son from Nigeria, her son name is Sampson.   I asked where name came from she said my grandmother got it from Bible.
Home isn’t the apartment and tired and happy for the kindness of the Lord for many KM's over the many bumps.
