Eric Fowler's Report #3


Eric and Margie Fowler's
      and Heather Anderson    report #3

April 7th

Breakfast and a time of reading together for a fast get away to Lviv. The weather has been warm and sunny for which we are thankful. A lot of people got their gardens planted already. Trees are green and fields are green and looking great.

Yaroslav's wife, Halia, has been having health problems and today we will take her and her son to Lviv to see a Dr. Mark, a Christian Dr. who has a clinic in Lviv and does alternative medicine. We will take her there since the Dr's here in Ivano have found nothing in her case EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS HAD MANY DIFFERENT TESTS. We left here at 10 and arrived there at 1. When we were finished there Heather, Margie and I went to visit Nadja and her new baby Daniel. She is now living with her mom while recovering. This gave us a little chance to visit with her mom and dad who are in the meeting and also a wee visit with her grandmother. It was great to have supper with them and have a time of fellowship. Heather then went to visit with a Deaf Lady and stayed all night. Nayda is the lady's name and she is coming to meeting. Heather had a nice time with her. We went back to the apartment here and rested.

Saturday April 8

We rested some extra this morning and nice to have wee time alone and pray about what we are doing here. Edmund came at 10:45 and got us to go to Sosnivka to speak to a group of children. They get 20 to 35 children each time here and Edmund goes every second Saturday. I enjoy the group, they learn many verses and are very attentive to the story. At times there are 5 to 8 adults which is very nice. We do have to drive an hour and the road isn't good. Then Vasiel, the man who plans it, takes us to his home for a dinner. They have 6 children and she is a real good cook. It was great to see Vera, his wife, again and talk to her. They both like to talk of the Lord while eating. It was a joy to learn that two days ago a Russian lady got saved. The Lord is at work and it was a joy to talk to her. The group sang very nicely and I gave them a story on the Shoe, it was the first time they ever heard it. Then back to Lviv and prepare for the meeting tomorrow morning. A week is over and tired for sure.

Sunday April 9
A new day...the Lord's day and a new week. It was a joy to be able to remember the Lord again. It was great to see 8 in the back to observe and 15 of us to remember the LORD. I gave a little word at the end on Gal. 5:1 Then Ruslan spoke a word to the children.
It was a joy to hear 8 give thanks ... Then the ride back to Lviv and a wee rest and then to meeting again. We did have 31 out to meeting. This is good considering planting time and the Sunday was Palm Sunday at the churches and this is big for them. The Sunday before Good Friday and Easter Sunday is bigger here then Christmas.                                       Dema came back to the Apartment after and had a great talk with him. The day is over and tired for sure. We did have bags made last fall with a Bible verse on it and we gave all at the meeting a bag each. We trust that this will help spread the word in the street.

April 10
It is Monday again ...Relax Rest Refresh Read Renew while on the Run. Breakfast and a little time of fellowship to touch the Spirit. Then the day started in a rush. Tanya with three children came to get medicine for her husband who has trouble with his Immune system and now is running a very high temperature. Then 45 boxes came from Meest, some form Nfld, Nova Scotia, and Ontario. It was great to get this gift for sure. There were boxes from Welland and Waubaushene here when we came. This gave us the ability to do the Baby Hospital.                                                          Then we got a call from Dana, the lady who has the big family. Her husband had been drinking for four days and so we went and talked to him some. Then we went and bought food for her. Sin is a sad burden and everywhere you see its vast effects on the people and the nation. Marianna, her daughter is home again and we have helped this girl lots. She was at meeting Sunday but came late. She has been coming some but not much over the years.                                                                         Then we went to Valentina's and had a late dinner. We found out that her old gas stove is causing great danger leaking gas and is very dangerous. It was her son's 16th birthday and had a nice time with them. We went to the market and bought a new one. She has been faithful to the meetings since 2005 and gives good signs of Salvation.

We then came and got medicine for Luba, “pony tail Luba” not the Luba in the meeting. She fell and broke her hand. Then we came back to the apartment and spent some time with Leanna who came for a visit. She is troubled and we look to the Lord for a full deliverance. She wanted some clothing for a friend and we gave her some food; got a taxi for her and she went home.  Monday which was long is over, now trying to study for meeting, write report and get boxes ready for hospital tomorrow as we are to meet head Dr. 9:30 in the morning.
