Travel Prayers

Cross Culture family,

I had a great visit to the United States. Enrolled Leanna at Faulkner University, completed the 2011 Annual Report for Cross Culture, Inc. (be watching your mailbox), and completed several other pressing projects. Tomorrow morning at 9 AM I begin my journey back to Gorlovka. Please keep me in your prayers and my luggage, too! Thanks for being such faithful ministry partners.

Update and Prayer Request

We have had a great and eventful summer. All our classes are going well and we have had a blast doing Friday Fun Day including the younger kids. Our teens have done a good job helping out and serving the children.

Tomorrow morning Leanna and I begin travelling to the United States. She will begin her freshmen year at Faulkner University soon and I will be helping her get settled in. It seems like a short time ago that she was seven years old and we were moving to Gorlovka. Right now we have a house full of kids spending their last few hours together with Leanna.

Today Dima and I delivered Pampers and supplies to the Baby Hospital. Dr. Masha Sverdlova, who grew up in our youth group, showed us around and told us some sad stories about the abandoned children. I have never gotten used to seeing these precious children and hearing their stories without it touching my heart deeply.

Please be praying for Kenny and Leanna as they travel, for Lora, Dima and Lexi as they remain in Gorlovka and continue working with the church family and kids. Thanks for being such faithful ministry partners.
