For those of you who are reading about our mission work for the first time, it is a bit daunting to try to tell you about everything that has happened over the last 4 years. We started from scratch. I was worshipping and working with one Church - the Central Church of Christ. We started this mission work to reach out to children as we taught the Bible in 1 school in the city of Kremenchuk, Ukraine. We are now teaching the Bible before or after school time in 6 schools in Kremenchuk and surrounding towns and villages. We are presently teaching 23 classes each week in these schools. We are working in 2 orphanages and one boy's prison on a regular basis. We are working with 5 churches of Christ in 4 towns. We presently have 3 native preachers working with me in this work. We also have 10 classes and activities in my home and at the church building of the Central Church of Christ each week. I have had 2 AIM - Adventures in Missions - teams of young people working with me the last 19 months. We have also had 2 campaign teams come from the West Fayetteville Church of Christ in Fayetteville, TN and one come from Lubbock, TX as well. We each summer have a summer workers come from York, NE and the Easthill Church of Christ. These workers work under the guidance of the MAP program - Master Apprentice Program. We have had many baptisms in our youth work, in the churches and in the prison ministry. God is truly blessing this work. It is through His love and power that we continue this work.
