First we prepared the last few months for a 1 week public evangelism project, which was completed 2 weeks ago. It was successful by the Lord's power alone and all of us were greatly encouraged by what we did and saw during the project. The basic outline of the project is like this:
- we had a team of 4 Americans come, and we provided translators for them so they should do face to face street evangelism.
- there were other Ukrainian pairs who did face to face evangelism
- we had a team of 4-8 people depending on the day who read the bible on a loud speaker in a public place near the metro, and the other team members talked with the people who were interested in what we were doing.
- To prepare our hearts for evangelism we pent the first half of the day in devotion, bible study and prayer. This time was what we needed to trust our hearts and actions to God.
We're still seeing the results from the project now...new people coming to church, new friendships with non-believers that will hopefully bring them to Christ and a new inspiration about evangelism within our church.

One of the only photos of me since I was a photographer for the week
As you can also see from the photo above, I'm now 30 weeks pregnant with our baby girl, Elizabeth. There are a few small problems with my health, but we're praying and trusting God that everything will be normal and she'll be born on time and healthy. Please pray for us as we finish out the rest of the summer, ministering in Kiev through evangelism, and preparing for parenthood!
God bless!
