As we saw another team off this morning I had the stunning realization that it is officially May. I am sitting here trying to wrap my head around that concept.
You know what may be the craziest part to me?
I have officially spent over a month in a country that speaks Creole and French:
I still manage to answer in one of the handful of Russian phrases I know and cannot seem to get Creole for the life of me!
I see hundreds of Haitian tap-taps daily, the colorful mode of transport used here:
Tap-taps remind me of Ukrainian marshrutkas, just with a bit more color and air flow.

People here give me hugs and kisses on the cheek:
I miss walking down the street arm in arm with my friends in Ukraine.
I love Haiti. I love the people. I love the community I am part of. I love the ministry. I love my job.
I miss Ukraine.
It has now been six months since I left Ukraine. Not a day has passed that I haven’t thought of my friends there. I admit that I daily check the Kyiv Post online for news. And a whole lot of people have been subjected to my retelling of last October’s events.
With the coming of this new month is the urgency to be able to purchase plane tickets for my time in Ukraine, since weekly the price seems to jump a little more.
In all I need around $3500 to cover my costs from mid-June to the end of July (maybe August-ish). About $1800 of that is just airfare costs and another $800 is the cost of my week and half working with CCX’s summer English camp. The remaining amount will cover costs of food, transportation and housing for the remaining time.
I have been amazingly blessed and supported throughout the past year and half, and remain awed at all the things God has done because of the prayers and financial support that has been given. You are part of the story too. It isn’t just my ministry, you are a part of it too.
So I am asking that you would consider prayerfully and financially supporting my return to Ukraine, where I am praying about the possibility of being on a more long-term basis.
If you would like to give financially, checks can be made payable to:

And if you could drop me an email to let me know so I can keep track while I am in Haiti. Feel free to include a note about what is going on in your life and how I can be praying for you, since I feel like you constantly hear about what is happening with me but I miss out on so much of what is going on back home.
