Shortly after our return from America, one of the teachers in the Christian school at our church asked me speak to her class. She had heard about our visit to the Ark Encounter in Kentucky and wanted me to share our experience with the children. After I spoke, the kids would do a puppet show about Noah’s Ark.

We were all exhausted and several of us were suffering from colds, but we were glad to be back home in Ukraine.

(Romans 3:21–22, 4:4–5; Philippians 3:9)

“God,” I whispered, “will you help me?” I sat in a small bedroom hearing the spring breeze rustle the curtains and play in my hair. I wiped my sweaty palms and tried to take some deep breaths. It wasn’t the first time I had to face my nervousness and take on a public speaking opportunity in a foreign language.

On April 8, 2017, our eldest daughter Abigail was baptized following her profession of faith in Christ. After the event, as we stood outside and chatted with various friends who had attended, Pastor Mihailo approached me with a request. “I heard that you’ve been taking Abigail through the Bible First lessons at home.” I acknowledged that this was correct. “Would you be willing to do the same for our older kids at church?”
