Steve has been talking a lot recently with Youth for Christ about being able to support-raise through them while we are in Ukraine. They do have YFC in Ukraine and usually send people out there to work with the existing youth ministry center however there isn't one of those in Zaporozhye. There is a possibility of us starting another branch of YFC there but at this point it's just an idea. Also the biggest thing on their end is that they usually require potential missionaries to spend six to nine months with their organization preparing before they would send us. This next week Steve will be talking to the guy in Canada who is in charge of sending missionaries overseas and will hopefully be able to get more answers as well as explain our intentions and ambitions.
So that being said please pray that:
1. This may not be a road-block but a good thing that jumps us forward to the next step
2. This man will HEAR what Steve has to say about our experiences, previous training (Trek and G42) and the time frame that God has been preparing us for and will be willing to move ahead with us
3. That we won't worry about this - whether or not God wants us to be part of YFC in Ukraine or not
4. Flexibility in our plan ONLY IF we feel that YFC is really where God wants us to be
And just because here is a photo of our boys to make you smile!
