Prayer Letter/Ministry Update

Dear friends,

Happy Independence Day! (sorry we missed the 4th, we have been waiting for our internet to get hooked up)
We are in Kiev! We got here on Saturday, met by our field director and wife. It was good to see familiar faces and so nice to have a few groceries in the frig and beds all ready for us to sleep in! It was a long trip, 25 hours of travel, 5 airports, 3 countries and none of our luggage got lost! Thank you for praying, God has answered your prayers!!!!!!

Sunday, we surprised our neighbors by knocking on their doors, it was SO good to see them. We are looking forward to sharing what God has been doing in our lives and hearing more about what has been happening with them.

Yesterday Sasha came over to see us! Today, Jerry is at the sauna as I type (looking forward to hear all about it). We will be getting together tomorrow with the director of the University, Eliya and our other friends.

It is so good to come back to a familiar apartment, our beloved city and to our dear friends. We have prayed this past year for these dear ones and the ministry that God has planned for us this term. Thank you for your prayers this past year too. We will begin each day here praying, asking God to lead us to do His will, sending those who are seeking Him to us. Please pray with us as we seek opportunities to meet people and share Jesus with them.

Thank you for your prayers, faithfulness and love,
Serving Him together,
Kim and Jerry

Prayer Requests/Answers to Prayer

Please remember…
*Us as we adjust to the time here, (our body time is 10 hours different) and as we adjust to life, just the 2 of us and as we unpack making it home here.
*Our kids as we are far away from each other now, when they are doing well, we are doing well! (those of you with kids, know how this works, right?)
*For our friends here as they seek God, that they would see Jesus in us and that we would be bold in our sharing. That God would continue to work in their lives, bringing them to Himself.
*For sensitivity to God’s direction in our lives…we are asking Him to lead us each day

Thank you for your prayers for us as we prepared to return and as we traveled. All went so smoothly and well.
I want to list all the ways God has blessed us recently…
*Both Russian and Ukrainian visas in our passports as we traveled back to Ukraine
*Everything fit into our suitcases and it all arrived safely with us
*We had precious family times together with our kids, our parents and siblings shortly before we returned…(we are SO thankful for these times, even if it hurts now as I think of them and miss them…it is a good pain)
*the list of a “million” things that had to be done before we left actually got all finished!
*we had really spacious seats on the long flight over here, just the 2 of us…just a little thing, but SO nice.
*we are back in our old apartment, it feels almost like we are coming home…I already know where everything goes.
*we had some snail-mail already here
