I just wanted to let you know that I wrote up a little post and featured you, Igor, Katerina, and their family for this week's Ministry Monday on my blog. I really hope that it helps to get the word out. Let me know if you'd like me to change anything. Thanks for such a terrific blog and for writing about something so worthwhile!

You have no idea how much that means to me. Just reading about their struggles and their attitudes about their struggles shows me how much I truly am lacking. To trust God the way they do, depending on Him for absolutely every need. We American's are pretty spoiled. I look forward to praying for them and helping if I can. I am anxious to hear more about them. This is one of the most exciting things I've been a part of in a long time.

My husband and I had the opportunity (pre-children) to spend two weeks in L'viv, Ukraine, teaching ESL classes as a tool for evangelism in a local church. The difference in attitude toward learning, teachers, and life in general was SO far removed from what we encounter here in the US. We would do well to follow their example in gratitude. The food...that's another story!Poppyseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150623839398820450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-81487639598236644192008-08-26T15:15:00.000-05:002008-08-26T15:15:00.000-05:00Oh I am gonna cry this is so awesome!

And then you touched my heart by taking her shopping for curtains for her birthday. I assure you she has never had a birthday like that. Isn't it just so neat how God brought the two of you together. She needed you and you needed her, the beginning of a new relationship that I see having so much impact on this world.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881554728710759245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-48273747190020406172008-08-26T09:37:00.000-05:002008-08-26T09:37:00.000-05:00I've been sharing this story with my children to r...I've been sharing this story with my children to reinforce how blessed we are in this country...free to worship, speak (pretty much) as we please, and share our faith with others.
