yesterday, Vitaliy went to the village of Radinka and spent some time with his Bible-institute-days friend Olexiy, who is the leader of the prayer house in this small, almost-forgotten village.
They had good talks together.
Vitaliy also went out witnessing. Two early-teen guys prayed with him after he presented the gospel to them.
A bunch of us drove [...]

At our home church in TN, my mom (lo, these many years ago) was instrumental in starting a ladies’ Bible study fondly called “MOMS.”
I love it, every time I’m home. Two hours of kid-free coffee, snacks, special speakers, Bible study, etc. It’s the marker of my week.
So, here I am, two small kids, and I [...]

Here’s part 1.
Vitaliy F., Vitaly S, and our elder pastor entered the water and prayed.
Then people entered the water one by one to be baptised:

After the baptising, we started our service on the beach; we sang, and a few earlier-baptised people gave testimonies.
All around, a great day. In [...]

In Ukrainian churches, they ordain a man as a pastor-teacher or a pastor-evangelist or a pastor- . . .
Sunday, August 30, Vitaliy was ordained as a pastor-evangelist.
Our two pastors and Fred Bennett from TITUS (our mission agency) laid hands on Vitaliy.
It was a very special and emotional service.
Fred Bennett gave the first challenge; he talked [...]

Vitaliy and I are attending an Evangelism Explosion-type training in Brovari, a town about 5 minutes outside Kiev. It’s long, long days. We leave at 7am and come back after 10pm. Great training, though. Clear way to start a spiritual conversation and present the gospel.
Saturday all day we have a medical clinic in Agrostansia, a [...]
