Where does the time go?  Wow!  I am just leaving Ukraine and I haven't told you how to pray for Ukraine yet.  Tomorrow I will go to Swaziland in Africa and I will live on top of a mountain and work in a children's home.  

 

Last month we lived in Lviv, Ukraine.  Maybe you have heard that Ukraine is not very safe to be at.  This past year, they have almost been attacked by Russia which is right next to the border.  But we were very safe because we were on the other side of the country.  Ukraine is the size of Texas, so it is very big.

 

A Ukrainian man was very surprised to see so many Americans in his country at a time like this.  He was so encouraged and told of how he was very happy that so many young people came to visit the country and were not afraid.  He said with his very thick accent, "Sank you, Merica!"

 

Will you pray for Ukraine that it would be safe and that the new president just elected would make decisions that would protect the people there?  Pray that people would be proud of their country and not live in fear.

 

And now tomorrow I will go to Swaziland!  We will live at a home for abandoned, abused and neglected children.  

The Bible says this about orphans:

The Christian who is pure and without fault, from God the Father’s point of view, is the one who takes care of orphans and widows.  James 1:27

God also says that He is a:

Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.  Psalm 65:8

 

Will you pray for these children to grow up knowing their Father in heaven and that they reach many for Jesus?
