We recently had a visitor from Ukraine, Wally, in February. He is the pastor of a growing church in Southwest Ukraine. Please pray for Wally as he continues to try to reach the lost in Ukraine. This is a message we recieved after he had returned home. This photo is Wally and his friend Rusty when they visited us in New Orleans.

Hello Steve, Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus! Hopefully this message finds you and your family fine and well. We are doing good here. Few weeks ago we had opening service in our new church building. It was great. The sanctuary was pretty packed. We have almost full sanctuary every Sunday morning worship service ever since. We are so glad. Almost every Sunday people come to Christ. Last Sunday four people came forward and repented. Praise God! How are you doing? We think of all of you often and pray for you daily. Thank you so much for everything youve done for us. It is great blessing for us and example of Gods goodness and generosity. The car I bought is so much helpful to do the ministry. Our church is on the other end of the city. This year I also will be director of the Christian camp. And will go to the region teaching in the churches a discipleship course and help them to evangelize using multimedia projector. Please pray for me and my family. We pray for you and ask God to do a great things in your life and ministry you are about to do. God bless you all.
In His love, Wally

We still think about those in Ukraine so very often, but we have recently felt God's leading us to help plant a church here in the U.S. We don't know what the future holds, and if someday we will return to Ukraine, but as we go where the Lord leads, we will always share of our love for this dear country.
