Our Ukraine Trip
“Shine Jesus Shine. Fill this land with the Father’s glory. Blaze Spirit blaze. Set our hearts on fire. Flow river flow. Flood the nations with grace and mercy. Send forth your Word. Lord, and let there be light.” Graham Kendrick
The words of that popular song have never meant as much to me as they did on a beautiful Sunday back in April. Five Ukrainians, two American church planters and Catherine and I sat around a small table in a backyard in Donetsk, Ukraine and sang those words in Russian and English.
The heart of that church planting leadership team really touched me. Their desire to see their small group of seven become a church is truly reflected in the words of that song. They want to shine the light of Christ in their city.
Worshipping together, face to face, with these dear people stirred an even deeper desire in our hearts to help them build their church building.
Coordinating short-term teams to help them build their church is really just a small contribution to the cause (they are the ones doing the hard work) but we are blessed, nevertheless, to be able to play even a small role in Jesus’ plan for His church.
Please continue to pray for this church plant and the teams that will travel to Ukraine this fall to help them build their building. It will not be easy or cheap; but it will be worth it.
“Shine, Jesus, Shine!”

Cool! For the first time in his life David is frontpage news. 
Ok, so actually, his band is frontpage news. The local town band that he plays in, Stadtmusik Kandern, is having their Spring Concert this Sunday evening.
This group gives David a great opportunity to enjoy playing the trumpet, getting to know people in the local German community, and practicing German.
Thanks in advance for praying for our concert this Sunday evening.
