Merry Chistmas

Merry Christmas to all. We pray that you found joy in the true meaning of Christmas - that God's love has been shown to us in the coming of His Son Jesus Christ and that He came to offer Himself as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of all our sins. We have great reasons for being truly thankful even if our joys are at times mixed with our sorrows as His were

" Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:1-2

Pastor Don Is Back From Ukraine

UPDATE: 15-24 APRIL 2009

We Prayed for the Shafers and Pastor Don as they prepared to go to Vietnam and Ukraine.

April 16: Pastor Don Arrived in Kyiv, Ukraine
After a leader's meeting he traveled 16 hours by train through the mountains to Mukachevo to begin a ministry tour through the region.
After doing leadership Training with the leaders of the Gypsy Church Pastor Don was privileged to preach the Resurrection Morning Message (Orthodox calendar) at Church of the Living God in Mukachevo (That is his home church in Ukraine).

Then the Gypsy Church in the evening where new doors are opening with the young people.

Monday:
Train trip to Stryi (pronounced "Stray") to conduct a Parent Training and Leadership seminar with Pastor Ihor and Lyuba Huziy

Tuesday: A three hour train Ride to L'viv followed by a two hour van ride landed Pastor Don in Chervonohrad for a special, more advanced Parent / Leader seminar which brought two pastors from L'viv who want a two day Parenting seminar for the L'viv area in the future. It's hard to imagine, but they say, no one else brings this kind of teaching to them and that the parents here really need it.

Wednesday:

A three hour van ride to Rivne where Pastor Don gave a parenting seminar at the church that we started building a relationship with about four years ago. It was a wonderful time of reconnecting with these precious folks.

Thursday: A four hour taxi-bus ride to the Kiev train station and the journey was just about complete...

...and as night settled on the ancient city of Kyiv a few fleeting moments of sleep were taken as a reserve against the long journey home...
