We recently made a trip to Sambir, Ukraine near the city of L'viv to visit our Sasha in the "juvenile colony" there. We had the rare opportunity to sit down with the prison Chief one on one; gaining insight and an open door to minister at the prison and the 173 children there. At this moment, we are beginning to plan programming to bring to the children. We are also asking for help in fundraising to provide new tables for the children to eat on. After a discussing with the Chief this is a current need that would greatly help the prison, but providing these tables will help us in ministry and give us more opportunities to visit Sasha, whom we love so dearly. Any support is greatly appreciated! And your prayers are always needed! We are beyond excited to have these new doors open before us and we can't wait to share with you all that God will do!! These children are in a uniquely open position in life and God's grace is a message they so desperately need to hear!

I'm glad you all had a great time of ministry and that you made it back safely. I will be praying for you in this new aspect of your ministry.
