We have not forgotten the work we left behind, as the used and new clothing still comes in for us to pack and send. 10 more boxes arrived last week in Ivano Frankivsk. Our contact man, Vadym keeps in touch with us by e-mail as well as phone.
As I think many would know, Vadym and his wife Svetlana and daughter Amelia, were living with Svetlana's parents because their apartment was sold from under them for an exhorbitant price. They were living in one bedroom and sharing the kitchen and bathroom. I am glad to say they now have found an apartment with 2 bedrooms and should be in, after de-bugging it, by this weekend Dec 5 or 6.
I am glad to say that a small group of the people who were meeting with us when we were there, are now meeting each week for a Bible study. I send Vadym a chapter to read and give him some pointers and he leads the meeting. To say the least of it, this makes us very happy to know they are interested to carry on the meetings.
We don't know of any one going over to Ukraine before the Spring. I am looking at going in the Fall, God willing.
A number of brethren have been very generous in helping Vadym to purchase an auto diagnostic machine to use in his garage, as he is now working for himself. He no longer works for the Audi dealer, as they are going out of business in Ivano and so he is getting much of the service work that they would have done.
We are glad that we were able to help so many children with much needed shoes and boots while there. Vadym just got a call from one orphanage we visited just before we left, asking whether we were able to supply their children with shoes. We had visited them and got their shoe sizes but had not got the shoes for them before leaving. As funds become available, we will get Vadym to buy their shoes.
Thank you for reading this and continuing to pray for this work.
Yours serving the Greatest of Masters.
Malcolm and Howard.

Thank you so much for all the work you do in His glorious name. I often check and am so glad when I see a new post.
My daughter Aislyn deSouza was with Flo in Lviv back in 2006 (was it that long ago?!?)and she came back a very changed young woman. We pray for the workers but also for the many families and children that touched Aislyn's life - the gypsy families, the old lady with the chicken, the doctor and his family, the children at all the different orphanages and Yosopovich in particular. This was where a little brother and sister (Nicholas and Lesia) thought Aislyn was their mother come back to take them home... The little girl espeically would not let go of Aislyn whenever she was there to visit.
God's continued blessings to you who continue to do His work! Priase His Name!
