Update From Ukraine 8/09

Our team had all been away from Ukraine for a few weeks, and just last Wednesday, we all got back and reunited again. I wasn’t sure how it would be to be back and to put my whole heart into the work after a long break like that. Friday, our team and chaplain Leonid went to Vuhledar with a group of press people to bring food parcels, fresh bread, and, most importantly, the Gospel. We haven’t been in this frontline city for a few months, so it was time to go back.
When we arrived I walked towards the group of people surrounding Leonid, and this one elderly lady saw me and her face just lit up! She opened her arms for a big hug, and when she stepped back she pointed to her head in an attempt to remind me of who she was. I remembered her immediately so I knew she was trying to say that she was the lady who I met there last time, who was wearing a dirty white beanie and we happened to be handing out blue beanies that day. When she got hers, she quickly took her old one off and put her new, pretty one on. She made sure we got a picture together!! She was so thankful that day, and just as much so this time when we were reunited!
She blessed my heart and brought so much revelation of why we are here, the desire to serve and the desire for people to hear God’s word has been rekindled in my heart and spirit! I am so thankful for the opportunity to be back here with my amazing team!
