Down to four weeks now. We leave Wednesday, October 17, and preparation continues for our trip to Belarus and Romania. Just a quick update this week on my trip and the ministry that you have been so faithful in supporting:
Many of you had the opportunity to hear Yaroslav Lukasik speak at KPC last summer when he was visiting from Belarus. He is the dear friend of ours from Belarus who has since been deported from the country for his steadfast refusal to close down his church and temper his message of reformation in Belarus. He has since relocated with his family just over the border in Poland and continues to be a steadfast worker on behalf of Belarus though he has been barred from re-entry for five years. He has been visiting in Virginia Beach this week, and I had the opportunity to share dinner and breakfast with him on a couple of days this week. What a joy to see him and hear of his unmatched zeal for the Lord’s work in Belarus! He encouraged us so much ahead of our trip.
Some things to praise the Lord for and pray for this week:
- My funding is up to 70%. Thank you!
- We are finding ways to trim our costs in Romania, and the Euro is coming down ever so slightly against the dollar. (You didn’t know international money markets were a part of missions work, did you?!)
- Our visas for entry into Belarus have been sent to the Embassy and are in process. Pray for smooth approval and a quick turn-around.
- As always, I would appreciate your prayer for my family as I leave them for this extended period.
