Isus lyubytʹ tebe – “Jesus Loves You”

Sunday

We have some wonderful ladies traveling with us this time (Patty Cole, Nancy Hudspeth, Martha Lennon & Pam Reed) who are launching a teaching & care ministry for the women of the Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary. You can follow their story at – UBTSWomensMinistry.WordPress.com.

We spent the morning at Shepilska Resort helping set up for the women’s retreat that will be held later this week. The resort has cabins on a lake, three pools, playgrounds, a spa area, lodge and a few wild animal viewing areas.

After lunch we drove back to Lviv for afternoon worship at Hosannah Church where we had the opportunity to share about Troika and our purpose for being here.

There was a guest pastor this Sunday, Tony Peck, the Secretary of the European Baptist Federation. Tony’s text was Revelation 3:8 and he encouraged us to faithfully walk through open doors of ministry like the persecuted churches he had recently visited in Turkey and Egypt.

We made a quick stop at a driving school in the main square (they start fairly young here) before enjoying a ballet performance at the opera house.

We finished the day with wonderful friends (Pavlo & Olenka pictured), food and views from the Panorama Restaurant.

Please join us in praying for our seminar that begins today.
