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