Packing For The Journey

Humbled and grateful for the way the Lord has provided, I am preparing to embark on a five week mission trip to Ukraine. There, I will be working with disabled children, orphans, and teens at a facility called Kompas Park in Cherkassy (out in the countryside). My sister, her husband and four children live in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, and I will also be helping them. I would appreciate your prayers for me as I prepare to leave, that everything would be in order here, and that the Lord would be preparing for a great harvest. Pray that He is already softening the hearts of the children and preparing them to hear His word. Pray also for safety, and that I would know my place and be able to serve wholeheartedly. We've got quite an assortment of items to fill our suitcase, from gifts, to crafts for camp, to flags, to peanut butter and marshmallows (American rarities), to paper products for my friends wedding, and also a few clothes in there somewhere! I will be flying out with my sister Katherine on June 8th and we will return July 14th. I appreciate having prayer warriors at home and I will try to keep you all updated! Thank you and God Bless!
