My first Month in Lviv
 Dear
Family and Friends, Thank you so much for your continued support and
prayers!... it is so good to be here in Lviv and serving alongside the
Pratts, Sneads and Janisses. I arrived in Lviv on May 14th after a three
week missions trip to Lviv, Kiev and Kharkiv with Calvary CHapel Bible
College Indianapolis, to start working with New Horizons Lviv a new
Calvary Chapel church plant.
My brief time here has been busy with VBS, a missions team from
Virginia, English Club, Koinania Cafe, Sunday Service, the two dogs I
watch, shopping to get basic necessities, figuring out transportation,
trying to learn the leanguage, and steeping into my new role and duties
at the church. Your contnued prayers and support are greatly
appreciated!
A Place to Call Home
 God
is so good and always faithful! I was worried where I would live once I
arrived in Lviv. Dennis and Georgia Janisse graciously hosted me for a
couple of nights and then God opened up a place for me to serve and
stay. One of the missionary families serving in Lviv for eight years did
not get their visas and had to leave for three months to the states.
They asked if I would watch their two dogs, Carrie a dalmatian and Duke a
dauchund, and sublet their apartment for three months. I was glad to
and God opened up a place for me to stay and to have all I need. I have
two new babushkas (grandmas) to look after and they look after me. The
Ledfords were so great to show me around the city and show me where to
shop, pay bills, and all about public transportation. Getting use to a
new place is not always easy but they made it seem so. I am at home in
Lviv and am looking for an apartment of my own as they plan on returning
in September.

VBS at Public School
Our
church had the privilege of hosting a Vacation Bible School at the
public school on our block for two days this past week. We had a time
for games, Bible stories, crafts, snacks, hand painting and balloon
animals. 39 kids attended and we all had a great time together. Please
pray God would keep opening hearts here at this school and others for
the Gospel to be shared. You can see more photos here Click Here!
