Here in Kiev

So great to be back! Vanderkamps and Ockerses are here in Kiev staying with the same families from before. Such a blessing being welcomed with warm hugs and familiar faces. We truly have a family of Christ here in Ukraine. Now rested from the safe trip, we are off to visit the many sights in central Kiev that we experience pre-revolution three years ago. It has been eye opening hearing how this has impacted their lives. Already strapped financially, they have experienced extreme inflation with no pay increase to compensate. The currency here has devalued X3. Three years ago the exchange rate was .08 to the dollar, now it is .25. It is humbling to see their faith lived out daily.

Pray for safe travel for The rest of the team as they are taking off as this is being posted.
