Last weekend we went on a short road trip to Yalta.  It is about an hour or so away from where we are staying.  It is set up for people wanting to vacation.  There are hotels and a  rock beach, and harber.  We stayed 2 nights at the hotel and spent saturday listening to the tide come in, it was quite relaxing.  Sunday we drove about 15 minutes away to another part of the coast, where there is Church.  This place is called Alushta.  The pastor’s name is Vladamir.  There were around 15 people there, including us.  They don’t actually have a church, but they hold their service, in a store front building which they rent.  This church is connected with the other churches.  A couple of Sundays ago Vladamir come to Simferopol, to Al’s ministry and spoke in the Russian service.  It was a nice reunion for the Kings.  We are praying for God to show us where to live in Crimea, and are looking for any and all afordable options.  Please pray along with us.  We love and miss all of you!

Well the last month has flown by.  We needed to go to Kiev to renew passports and get a letter of invitation for our visas.  Then we went to Fastov and got to visit the ministry there.  We had a great time!  We went with the Irelands (the missionaries in Fastov) to a small village.  They had it all planned out.  First there was about 8-10 people who sang songs in Ukrainian and Russian.  On this dirt road was a small market where people sold things.  After singing, 3 of the young men took turns preaching their hearts out to people passing by.  We also went around passing out tracts while this was going on.  There were some that stopped to listen.  After this trip we went to Zhmerinka (in another part of Ukraine) to visit Pastor Valerey and his ministry.   There were around 12 students there attending his Bible Institute training.  David was able to speak in it, but both of us were sick for part of this time.  We traveled by train.  It was nice to take this little trip but also nice to get back to Simferopol.
