We're Back!

Well, we flew into Nashville last night around 9:00p.m. We left Ukraine on Friday morning, after a full day on Thursday. We finished up at the Novoshenalone orphanage, and we had a special lunch for our interpreters. Then, Ben did a wonderful job teaching our final class at Krasnoarmeysk.

Our first flight on Friday morning was over an hour late, and we landed in Kiev at the exact time our plane to Amsterdam was leaving. We caught a later flight, however, so we made it fine. We spent Saturday on a layover in Amsterdam. A few of us were able to visit Anne Frank's home, a cheese factory, a wooden shoe factory, and other museums. As we walked past several shops in the city, we were reminded of Satan's hold over so much of the world. We're concerned about what our young people are exposed to in our society (and we have reason to be), but our visit to that city reminded me that things could be worse. It reaffirmed the fact that the only way to overcome evil is to spread the gospel.

On Sunday morning, our team had a "de-briefing" meeting, then we had a worship service in our hotel room. We left Amsterdam at lunch time, and 12 hours later, we were in Nashville! We will give a complete report about our trip soon, and we have posted several pictures below to give you an idea of what it was like. Thank you for reading our blog - this will probably be our last post for a while...at least until next year. Your support really helped us through the entire trip. Let's all pray that God will bless the Ukrainian Christians over the next year!
