Pressing toward the Mark . . .

Getting a first hand look at ground level ministry.

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.
