Ukraine 2005

On August 16th mylself and 10 students will be travelling to a village called Dobromyl in Ukraine for a 2 week missions trip. 3 of us have been there before 2 years ago. To the left you see me and a few of the friends we met there. we hope to assist in a church plant for this village. we will be working with a few bible college students from a the city of Lviv, 2 hours away.

If you think of it, pray for me and my team. I really want to see God change our lives through the adventures we will have. I also believe that God can use us to change this village somehow. I really want to play a part in the story of the Kingdom in this place, with these people. I find their culture and faith inspiring.
I get to be a pastor and a leader, but I really don't know what I'm doing. I'm just like every other beleiver, trying to be obedient and depending on an amazing God! I get to preach to people through an interpreter, I'm thinking about talking on the fruit of the Spirit... "what is growing out of you"... "God is the farmer - I am merely soil... what kind of soil will I be?". I pray that God's word comes through me loud and clear, that is power!
But more than that - I pray that who I am matters. That I can make a difference because I let Christ shine out of me - even at the most unusual moments.

Pray with me,
Pray for me!
