We arrived to Kiev, Ukraine unsure of the ministry we would be a part of. Nothing was actually scheduled when we arrived, but we are in Kiev where there are a variety of options. So some of you may be wondering what ministry we are actually involved in this month.
Some of you may enjoy hearing about the ministry we have at English club on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There we work with three classes of students each class varying in their English proficiency. We spend this time investing in each of the students, having discussions about the journey we are on, and answering any questions they may have. Others may enjoy hearing about our times on Friday afternoons where we spend time loving and caring for babies and children with AIDS, such as Katya who has instantly captured my heart. To stretch out our arms and literally wrap these children in Love is an amazing, beautiful, experience.
But As I write this ministry update for you, I can’t help but mention those unscheduled moments, or the rest of our time, which I like to refer to as life. Those times GOD leads me in prayer for the women of our squad, my teammates, or specific people I have met or who I may just happen to pass by. There are those times when I sit to listen to the hearts of my fellow sisters and am blessed to be used by GOD in some way to encourage them with a scripture, a word for them, or just a listening ear. There are those moments when I enter into discussion about scripture or the meaning of particular worship songs as we learn from each other.
