Hello Ukraine!


We leave tomorrow for Bila Tserkva, Ukraine. I just wanted to take a minute, while we finish packing and calling our families, to start our blog. I’m not sure how much internet access we will have over there, but we will update as often as possible about the work God is doing through us in Ukraine. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to travel and share the Good News with others.
 For those who are not exactly sure what we will be doing in Ukraine, here is a brief description. We are traveling as part of Let’s Start Talking ministries. They connect American Christians with churches all over the world to spread the Good News through conversational English lessons. We meet one-on-one with individuals who would like to practice their English speaking skills. We use a workbook based on the gospel of Luke to read the story of Jesus as a jumping off point for conversations. Along with the reading sessions, we have small get-togethers with our readers and the church members to foster relationships and show our readers how much fun it is to be a part of the body of Christ.  Nathan and I have already planned a Texas-themed gathering and can’t wait to see how our new friends like chili.
            God has done so many wonderful things in our lives, and I look forward to sharing His love and joy with others. We are so thankful to our supporters who have helped us take hold of this opportunity. Thank you all for the love and prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we travel and start the work in Bila Tserkva.
