London Report
We arrived back in Simferopol on Tuesday. We had a great time in London. The day after we arrived in London, we went to the Ukrainian embassy and submitted our paperwork for our visas. The man looked over the paperwork and said, “impossible”. I asked what he meant and he said it was impossible for us to receive five year visas - one year was as long as we could get. But when we went back the following Wednesday to pick our passports up, we noticed we had received 5 year multi-entry visas! Praise the Lord!
While in London, we were hosted by Pastor Mark Jackson. He and his wife Sara were so gracious to even give up their own bed to us! We were humbled by their hospitality. We thank God for all of our friends at Monnow Road. We were shown kindness and hospitality by all! Thanks to our English, Italian, Albanian, Romanian, German, Nigerian, and Malaysian brothers and sisters in Christ! 
We also got to participate in their vacation Bible club for children. Spring break for all of the school children occured while we were there, so they had this club with a pirate theme. It was a lot of fun and there was a good turnout. It was also a good outreach to the local children and their parents. Here is the youth pastor Pete (aka Captain Hook) leading the festivities. 
Also notable was our time spent with Andrew Ong. Andrew is from our home church and is in London helping out the ministry of Monnow Road Baptist Church. We had a great time with him and got to know him better, too. It is interesting to us that Andrew is Malaysian, because the majority of the international students here in Simferopol are from Malaysia. Who knew?! 
We also had the privilege of spending time with fellow KCBT missionaries Brian and Mindy Clark. Brian and Mindy have been ‘chisling’ out a ministry in the Chislehurst region of London. God is really starting to bless their persistence and faithfulness. They are good friends and we had a good time of fellowship together.
