Well, friends, God has done amazing things within the last few weeks, and I am so excited!
I haven’t written for most of the month, primarily because until a few days ago, I had no idea what would happen with my trip. As I briefly mentioned in the previous post, my contact in Perm, Russia and I were waiting on a letter from the Russian Government in order to get my visa. I was encouraged to hold off on purchasing my plane tickets until all visa issues were straightened out. After some weeks of waiting, we realized that there would not be enough time for me to be there for 6 weeks before I had to be back at school in the Fall.
My contact in Perm suggested that I contact a friend of hers at another YWAM base in the Ukraine in hopes that I may be able to serve there on short notice. After emailing her, I was quickly contacted by my new contact in Ternopil, Ukraine! The team there has invited me to serve with them this Summer in much the same capacity as I would have been serving in Perm. In fact, I will have the opportunity to help begin a new ministry called King’s Kids as well as to be a part of a large Christian festival in the city.
The website for the Ternopil base is www.ywamternopil.org. Please be praying for this entire team as I join them in ministering to the city of Ternopil, specifically the youth. I’m so excited to see how God is going to work this Summer, and I’ll be leaving on Thursday, June 30th! I’ll be coming back home on August 14th for a few days before I return to Biola for the Fall semester.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support! I look forward to sharing this time with you through this blog!
God bless you all!
