The Ukraine team arrived in country as planned. They have completed their second day of VBS. More information will follow soon.
All 8 teammembers arrived safely and in good health along with all baggage! Slava Bogu (Praise God) Vasily and Jane met us at the airport with no wait whatsoever- a perfect connection in Kiev
We rose early and were out the door before 8AM to pick up worshipers along the way to Studenitza. The churches in Studenitza and Bilkovtsi send their greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. They appreciated the love many members told us to convey to them, and they inquired about numerous members who had traveled to Ukraine
We then traveled to Bilkovtsi where they served the team a marvelous lunch, all fresh and homemade… including ice cream. An afternoon service immediately followed and we experienced another great service where Michelle, Addy, and Anna gave their testimonies. Songs were sung again and God’s word was preached. There were some seeking unbelievers in the group so God’s word was sewn and watered again.
Anastasia, one of our translators from prior years made us a hand made gift of Origami – two beautiful swans which she presented after the end of the service. This is the same young lady that last year walked almost 2 hours just to meet the team bus so she could be a translator. The Christians here have big loving, giving, and serving hearts and are a great credit to the cause of Christ.
It is now Sunday afternoon and we are resting up for tonight. Activities are unknown as this is typed. Please keep praying for our team for God to go before us. Please also pray that VBS will bring many young children to God or allow us to sew seeds amongst village children and their parents. In the new village where no VBS has ever been taught, we pray that many children, mothers and fathers will come to know the Lord.
In Christ,
Mike Kynett
