This fall we are going on a mission trip to Ukraine with International Partnerships (http://www.ipukraine.org/) and we would be most grateful for your thoughts, prayers and even some financial support if you are able.
The thrust of this mission is to engage university-educated Ukrainian professionals in Bible study through offering English Language study classes. Most of the students and professionals in Ukraine today are a product of the former Soviet era’s atheist doctrine and mindset, where it is rare for people to read Bibles let alone study them. In fact for most of them it is illogical for educated thinking people to be Christians – for them it doesn’t compute. This is an important opportunity to show, counter-culturally, that belief in Christ is entirely compatible with logic, thought and education.
The mission team comprises three of us and the trip will last twelve and a half days commencing October 14, 2009. The itinerary is to fly to Kyiv (Kiev) and then on to Kharkiv (Kharkov) on the eastern border with Russia. We will return to the US on October 26.
Our church, Spring Run Presbyterian, supports International Partnerships and this mission trip. We are really excited to be involved in this outreach, and wonder with anticipation what the Lord has in store for us!
If you would like to support us in any way at all please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any of us.
Peace and blessings
