Praying about the future

Oles and I have started praying about our future, specifically as missionaries.

We're both striving to be more than normal in our faith.  We want to have a fiery love for Christ that will lead us to where God wants us to work for his kingdom.  For now we see that God's will for us is to grow spiritually and in our marriage.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

It is hard for Oles to wait for us to be ready to go and serve the Lord.  In these times, I try to remind him about God's perfect timing for us, and how we can live as missionaries now in Kiev, for all the lost people that are around us.  We were inspired by this message from Francis Chan.  It's only about 2 minutes, so I recommend this video to you.

Friends, you can pray for us that we will learn God's will about the future, but keep our eyes open for the opportunities to serve him here in Ukraine while we're here.

Thank you for your prayer support!
