Sept 26 .... Ukraine trip 2019
The weather is cooling down in night especially but warming up in the day. Breakfast went well with my normal Manna and the peanut butter we brought from Canada and some maple syrup on the manna. The days are going to fast time is running away with us. We went to the New Box room and picked out the baby bags that was there for the visit to Baby hospital tomorrow. We called and there are 21 new Babies. We got 27 bags ready. We brought some hand made bags with us that we filled from things from the boxes. The home made ones was made in Newfoundland. We put New Testaments in each one and a text and a tract.
We had no children's story books, we need to purchased some from Lviv.
We went to dinner and after gave out few tracts on the street. We went to the
market and got little soap and baby pampers for each bag. We came home and
rested some and got ready for meeting tonight. The meeting went well with 22 out. There are still so many of the regulars missing. I need to do some calling as 12 or more of regular ones are missing. Leanna and Daughter came late but came and we took them out for pizza. Then home and now ready to rest.
Sept 27 Ukraine trip to Ukraine
Morning cool and cloudy .... breakfast was normal and great to be in the country to help. There is development everywhere in buildings as many moving from the Russian occupation are rich, this is just making the prices of everything higher. The Lord is over all. Saw many young soldiers where we ate yesterday.
We finished putting things in the baby bags as we are to go to the hospital at 12 . The trip to the hospital went very well, we gave out bags to 23 babies. We had some nice questions and moments from the mothers. We had a great visit with the head nurse the the lady responsible in the birth or the babies. We had a few workers stop and say hello . We then came home and rested some. We then went to the regular meeting place and meet with 5 and answered questions.
We are now home and had a piece toast before going to bed.
Lots to do reading and praying about what to do and getting ready for it.It is total pioneer work and having good printed material is important as well.
Value prayer of all and any wee e mail on your praying for us would be good.

Blog #2 Sept 23rd.
Sept 23 ... Forth day on 2019 Ukraine trip.
Monday morning came to Early but we both sleep well. Ruslyn came at 10:15 for us. We went to the Market and bought food for the family we are to visit.
Ruslyn got a few things for his mom and took to her that gave us a little visit
with her. She is gone totally blind and they have a lady that takes care of
her every day... We left her a little funds to help with her care she needed.
It is nice to see her at meeting on Lord's day, she attends well even with
her great health problems.
Then we drove to Stryi about an hour away. The family there is Michiel and Maria .. he is the Dr. we have often talked about and his family. We had a great visit for sure. We ate before the visit as they never offer you any tea even thought you bring them food. We went over the Great I Am's of John's Gospel. We are very confident in his salvation but not so sure of her. She remembers our first visit and said I spoke about John's gospel then and asked me if I love John's Gospel.
We also left them some medicine I brought and some extra funds as well. We prayed with them and the ride back.
We had a little rest then went for a walk about an hour on the street. We did give out some literature but people refuse lots.
Back here at apartment and study for tomorrow meeting in Ivano.
Did some texting and the write up from today ...to keep in line with everything. Dan will be here for us at 10am and Larry and Ruth Perkins will be with him they fly back to the USA tomorrow.
Sept. 24
We both didn't sleep real good but morning came ok Breakfast and a little repacking as Dan will come for us to go to Ivano today. He was here at 11:20 and we went to dinner with Larry and Ruth Perkins as hey are returning to America today. Had a nice visit and delivered them to the Airport and saw them go.
We then had the 2 and 1/2 hour ride to Ivano. The traffic was heavy and that slowed us down some. The day was beautiful and enjoyed the ride much. It is truly great to see the country again.
We got here in time to unpack and have a 45 min. rest. Then off to meeting to the New place. It is great to have it and see it for the first time. We had 25 out tonight and one new lady for the first time. The Lord gave help to speak and one man came back after the meeting and wanted to know what it meant to be BORN AGAIN. He has been coming for some months and has shown a great interest. His son wasn't with him tonight but has come some as well. Leanna and her three friends was out tonight.
Now we are back to the apartment and almost ready for night rest. The weather
Gets cold very quickly in the night but nice each day, no snow yet ...praise God.

Eric Fowler September 2019 #1
Editors note.
So sorry for no blogs for a long time. some visitors do not write reports so I have nothing to write. Please enjoy Eric Fowler's letter.
Thanks for all your text, e-mails and telephone calls before leaving.
Friday was a calm day but full getting the last touches in place.
Mary our Daughter gave us ride to Airport.
The check in went very smooth as all bags was little under weight.
WE DID TAKE ONE EXTRA BAG but it getting to expensive to take extra....
every year the price goes up and up.
We went very smoothly through security and then the rest at the
gate. Our heavenly Father gives peace ..... It's nice to know
one is returning after the last year operation and the changing of
our two trips ...one in 2018 and one in 2019. Doors are opened and closed
by Our Gracious Heavenly Father who is Lord of the Great Harvest field.
Sept 21 .... Poland
Then the flight to Warsaw Poland ...they announced it would be just 8 hours but when it was over ...they were longer, so a little more head wind than expected.
We had very smooth flight out over Labrador just North of home town LANCE AU LOUP and safe in Warsaw. Had 2 hour wait over and enjoyed leaving tracts around for people to read. The flight to Lviv was just 45 min. and very smooth with a full plane. Very sad no traffic on airport in Lviv with such a
nice new terminal built for the soccer games some years ago.
It went very smoothly through customs. Ruslan was the only one who came to
pick us up ...we were little late 5:40 in the evening.
He took us to a supermarket and picked up some food for the days we are to be in lviv before going to Ivano Frankisk. We also exchanged some American funds
at the same time. He then took us to our place of rest at George Washington street. We went to rest early...my wife rested on Flight but I didn't much.
Sept 22 ...Day three.
I rested very very well ..but my wife didn't. Ruslan came for us at 10:30 for the worship meeting. The meeting was very small...as no one was up from Ivano Franksisk. Edmond and Agnes are away to Ireland for a visit. There were 4 brothers missing from the area and one sister...so meeting was small. The meeting was still refreshing to remember the Lord and know that HE was in our presence.
Today was the day one year ago I had my operation and it so great to be back and doing so well in the short time.
I spoke a little word on the greatness of our GOD... his Power, Presence and Provision.
It was great to see two homeless men in the back and two children and a young lady who profess to be saved and we would love to see her in the meeting. Voladya had a word for the children. A nice tea was served and the morning went quite well for a small crowd. We came home and rested for an hour and then I took tracts and went for a hour and half walk in the street and enjoyed both the walk and the giving out of literature.
We are staying near to where Mrs. Kancir use to live when here and lots of tracts
was given in this area. Now the day is almost over again for us and another rest and get use to the 7 hour time change.
VALUE the Prayer for all and give God thanks for all
kindness shown to us in the Lord's name.
