Ministry in Ukraine is inevitably a roller coaster ride from day to day. This reality was definitely an aspect in Losha's schooling. He had been accepted into a trade school here in Sumy, but after receiving enough "regular" students, Losha was dropped due to the mere fact that he is an orphan.
5 trade schools later, countless meetings, and determination on everyone's part has brought Losha to a new trade school here in Sumy!! We couldn't be more excited. As far as trade schools go, it is one of the best. It even accepted him into a better trade than he was in before.
For Losha, this is a huge transition, but one he desired and fought for. God definitely used the closed doors to lead us to the best school for Losha. And the fight to get there helped Losha in countless ways. From the first school where he couldn't look a teacher in the eyes, to his current school where he gets right on in the midst of conversations - Losha has already changed. It is a much more difficult school than what he is used to, but he has a new pride in where he goes. He is up at 6:30am every day and ready to go at 7 am. We can only pray that he will utilize this opportunity as we are here to support him. We praise God for where He has brought Losha thus far.
