Nearly every weekend since the beginning of September has found Jeff and a few of the kids in a different city sharing our story and the work in Ukraine God has planned for our family. Friends in Conyers, Georgia, northern Alabama, western Tennessee and central Tennessee have opened their homes to us and have invited us to speak abut our mission to their Bible study classes, congregations or friends and relatives as the Lord has led them. In October Jeff and the kids will be traveling again to Tennessee and to North Carolina and Virginia. We are so encouraged by the love and prayers of the many new friends whom God has brought into our lives. Financially, we are nearing our monthly budget target and praise the Lord for His provision! God, who has called us into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. (1 Cor 1:9)
