Yes, not to rush things by any means, but we’ve finally got a YouTube channel up and running. Actually, it’s ETO’s YouTube channel. We’ve got a fancy new video camera over here and we’re shooting lots of ministry video! So be sure to stop by the ETO channel and subscribe. Below are some samples of what you’ll find there...

The latest issue of Overseas Field Report has now been posted to our blog. If you’re on our regular mailing list, you should be receiving your hard copy in the next couple of weeks.

The image below is a picture of the map hanging in our ministry office here in Lviv. Each pin represents a town or village where we have students enrolled studying the Bible. Denise Hutchison recently gathered this info from our student tracking system and set up the map. (Thanks, Denise!) At present, we have 406 students in active enrollment, and with CMO approaching, we’re expecting that number to rise!

At around 12:15pm on April 28th, we landed at Lviv International Airport. To me, this seemed like the shortest and smoothest flight we’ve had yet! The kids did very well (slept a good bit) and overall the trip was uneventful. No ash cloud either. :) That said, I did notice that we were cruising at about 38,000 feet - a good 8,000 feet higher than normal. Maybe we were flying above the danger zone?

Yep, we’re still here! Why? Just Google the terms “Iceland volcano” and you’ll find a whole pile of news stories covering the most recent act of God which has paralyzed European air travel. Bottom line: our original flight to Ukraine was cancelled, and we have been rebooked for April 27th, ash-cloud permitting. Please pray that God would remove this ash cloud and that we would have safe flying conditions for our return to Lviv. Traveling with us on the same day will be Bryan Shufelt.

Due to sickness in my family and also in the family that was organizing this event, we have decided to postpone it until a later date. If/when that is scheduled, we will post a new invitation. We apologize for the late notice.

Since our last post (which, yes, has been entirely too long) much has happened. So much, in fact, that I’m not quite sure where to begin. I suppose I’ll start with the news that it most exciting:

Last Friday morning we managed to break out of the record-breaking Texas snow and begin our trip north towards Alabama. We traveled for two days and arrived late Saturday afternoon at the Ballengers’ home about 50 minutes outside of Birmingham. John Ballenger is one of the leaders of Grace Family Church. He had contacted me several months ago by e-mail about the possibility of our family visiting their church to present our work in Ukraine, and now we finally had the chance to meet in person.
