“My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:81‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

One of the most notable aspects of this trip was to have our Board Chair, Mark Stewart join us for a few days during our gathering. Mark is a dear and trusted friend and an incredible Kingdom servant and thinker. Our partners were glad to meet him and be encouraged by him. I am proud to serve with this brother.

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians‬ ‭1:3-6‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Since I’ve been in Central Europe, my updates from Ukraine have been less frequent. However our work with our partners has continued unabated.

We remain committed to stand with our partners who are serving their fellow Ukrainians in need of food.

Over 42,000 meals, thousands of nights rest and hundreds of long term housing are being provided to those in need.

We’re thanking God for the ability to help because folks like you are helping us.

Please keep praying as the overnight air raids have intensified.

Please consider a donation. Every gift counts. Every dime goes to Ukraine.

Thank you.

At the end of the interesting little letter of Jude are these words:

“Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” (Jude‬ ‭1:24-25‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

Reflect on this…

“who is able to keep you”

Whatever assails us, may we trust and not fear!

Soli Deo Gloria!

We came to Osijek by way of Đakovo where we had a wonderful visit with the Kolariks. After an amazing lunch we walked to the center for coffee where the cathedral stands above the landscape.

Between a couple of people filled days, Anna and I had a quiet morning to walk around the Osijek old town…

Then we got a second breakfast of burek…
