Hello my friends!
Only 5 weeks until WSC training begins in Indep. MO. As you know, I am travelling to the Ukraine with Allie Petrie. We recently found out where in the Ukraine we will be travelling and it is exciting!
First off- Kiev, the famous Eastern European city. We will be there for a few weeks and will get an opportunity to stay with a family there. Here, and throughout our whole trip, our assignment will be to lead worship services, minister to the local congregations and communities, and communicate with children in local villages.
Second we will go to Odessa - the sunny, all-healthy, resort-like city in the South of the country along the Black Sea. We will work with new church members, doing similar projects as in Kiev, just with a warmer background.
Third - Gorlovka, the mining city famous for it's black snow and the fact that 30% of its inhabitants have died of lung cancer...a bit concerning....But it was a HUGE mining town for the past few decades which has caused the cancer and the black snow...but they say it's a lot cleaner now.
Then we will head back to Kiev.
There you have it friends. My trip in a nutshell. Please continue to come read of our adventures - especially when we get there because that's when things will get really interesting and exciting!
Again, I must say a huge THANK YOU to my wonderful donors who are helping this trip happen for me. I don't have the full amount I need yet, but I have had a tremendous amount of help already and I am so very grateful to you all.*
Until next time!
