Today Anna and I drove to Harrisonburg (VA) to enjoy a Ukrainian lunch at the Slavic Christian Church. The youth group was running the show to collect donations to help Ukraine!

The turn out was great! We waited in a 1/2 mile line long to get in!

While there I got to visit with a friend of 20+ years, who is originally from Vinnytsia. Andri’s dad, Sergiy is a key partner over there. This is a great family who give it all to the Lord.

Thank you for praying, please don’t stop.

Thank you for staying informed, please continue.

Thank you for giving, every dollar helps.

Many mornings I send Scriptures to colleagues. Here’s some texts from this morning.

“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. …

… And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” (Philippians‬ ‭1:3-6, 9-11‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

As you pray, as your heart and soul moan for Ukrainians, who suffer so much, as you give, you show love.

Thank you.

Here’s some pix of the camp team. They work shifts from 6am to 945pm in time to get home by 10pm curfew.

Pray for them. May God give them safety, strength and wisdom. Let’s thank God for them.

Pray. Give. Stay informed.

Thank you.

David was no insulated person who did not know trouble. He knew what it meant to be a man fleeing great trouble and living in a foreign place. Yet he says:

“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭34:1-3‬ ‭ESV‬

“at all times”

This is just like when Paul who reminds us to be thankful in all things.

Being thankful, blessing the Lord, remembering God, when times are hard – like now – is a sure means to our being able to press on.

In the strength that God gives us. To be his hands and feet to a hurting world.
