Recently we decided that we would try to release a new ETO video report every month. Well, so far so good. The March report is here! This one’s a bit longer than usual, but I think you’ll forgive us when you see it. Here’s a quick overview:

Last weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at the national Campus Crusade for Christ conference in Vinnystya. Their were about 275 people in attendance from Ukraine and Belarus, as well as few from other countries. The theme of the conference was “Living Upstream”. That is, following after Christ (upstream) as opposed to following the world (downstream). The topics were primarily aimed at believers, though I also had many opportunities to present the Gospel to unbelievers. Here’s a quick overview of the four sessions I taught, followed by some pictures.

Since publishing this post, we have done more research on the visa issue. In short, we have decided that at this point, religious visas (type-R) are the way to go for our team. We were able to get letters of invitation for our family and the Day family at a very reasonable price. In the morning, we leave for Poland where we will apply for our visas at the Ukrainian consulate in Krakow. We would appreciate your prayers for smooth border crossings, and successful visa application. If all goes well, we should be back in Ukraine Wednesday morning.

Recently, Kelsie and I were interviewed by an online magazine called Generation Impact, edited by Grace Williamson. The magazine is a ministry of the Williamson family, and their goal is to encourage homeschoolers to be lights for Christ.

Here in Ukraine, anyone who isn’t Catholic or Orthodox is considered a “sektant” (member of a sect or cult). The mere mention of attending an evangelical church is usually met with fear, skepticism and even anger.

On Saturday we celebrated Abigail’s fifth birthday. (Where does the time go?!) Abigail means “her father is joyful”, and since the time she was born, Abby has truly brought great joy into our lives. She is maturing into a sweet, bright little girl and we love her so much!
