It’s hard to believe, but as of Friday, September 25th, our little Abigail is four years old! We are unspeakably grateful for her little life and for the privilege of being her parents. Here are few pictures from her birthday party with our family.

Since we posted out last update regarding our trip to the US, God has provided us a car free of charge! A missionary family based out of Illinois contacted us to say that they no longer need their ’95 Toyota Camry since they are moving to Japan. As it stands right now, we will be picking up the car when we come through Chicago on our way down to DFW.

Yes, as many of you have heard, our family will soon be making a trip to the United States. We will be leaving Lviv on August 26, arriving in DFW the same day. While we don’t have an exact return date, we expect to be back in Ukraine by mid-May, in time for the start of CMO 2010. There are actually several reasons that we decided to make this trip at this time, but one of the main ones has to do with immigration problems that have come up recently in Ukraine. Here’s a quick synopsis of the situation.

On March 18, 2001, I left the United States bound for Lviv, Ukraine, and the beginning of my work as a full-time missionary overseas. I was 21. At the time, marriage was not even on the radar for me. I had already purposed that I would first establish my work on the field - especially mastery of the language - before I even considered taking a wife.

While I was content to serve the Lord in singleness during that time, my days often seemed quite lonely.

In 1997, during my first trip to Ukraine, I read a book called Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret. I was deeply impressed by this man’s willingness to trust God for his needs as a missionary. Hudson Taylor never asked people for money; he made his needs known to God alone. When I read that, I immediately knew that this was what God wanted for my ministry as well. Nearly twelve years later, I can say that God has indeed held up His end of the bargain.

To everyone who prayed for our recent trip to Krakow - thank you! It went very well. I was able to get my visa, though not for as long a term as I had planned. There was a misunderstanding with the paperwork, and I ended up with a visa for only six months. However, in September I can apply again and, Lord willing, should be able to get my full five year visa at that time.
