We have just returned from a mission trip to the Ukraine. We were so blessed during this trip and want to thank each of you who helped us make the trip possible.
We were in Zhytomyr, Ukraine from June 26-July 5. We were with Dr. and Mrs. Bill Pennell and the Ukrainian Hope Mission. We were with Dr. Pennell last year and saw 168 people saved, most of them children. Only a few women and no men came to the services. This year we saw 45 saved and most of them were adults. Half of the crowd each night were adults and many of them were men. Many of these people have never heard the gospel. We are so grateful to God for using us to deliver His Word to these people. Please continue to pray for the Ukrainian Hope Mission and the people of Ukraine.
We were in two villages this year. The first night we were in the village of Svytin and the next four nights we were in the village of Peryvlika. We had an open air service in Svytin and tent services in Peryvlika. We also returned to the city park where we were last year and had a concert. There were 12 saved during this service. We also returned to Bethany Baptist Church on Sunday morning for their services. We also participated with Parkview Baptist Church in a Vacation Bible School and a Sports Camp in the village of Peryvlika.
We were also blessed to be able to once again play with the Ukrainian Hope Folk Orchestra. This is a group of five men who play the drums, violin, flute, bass and accordion. We grew to love playing with these men last year and were glad once again to get to renew our friendship.
We still have a few DVD's left from our trip to Ukraine last year. It is entitled "Live in Ukraine." It was taped during a TV program we performed while in Ukraine. The price of the DVD is $15 and all of the money goes directly to the Ukrainian Hope Mission.
Please continue to pray for us as we minister throughout Central TExas. We are grateful for all your support.
