Mountains of Colorado

I pray for each of you to have a wonderful Valentine's Day.  Don't forget about God's great love for you!  "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)  God has really blessed my trip to the States this month.  Not only have I been able to accomplish tasks such as the doctor's follow up procedure, but, I have also had several opportunities to share about missions in Ukraine with a number of churches and individuals.  I would like to thank Valley Nazarene Church and Walsh Baptist Church who invited me to share.  I have met some wonderful people and have been able to renew some other relationships that were established years ago.  As I am winding down this trip to Texas and Colorado I would like to ask for your continued prayers.  Pray that I would be able to establish meet with a few people regarding a short term missions church construction project in Ukraine.  Pray that I would make connections regarding the schooling of our children during home ministry assigment June through December 2011.  Pray that I would be able to spend more quality time with my parents in Colorado.  Pray for my wife and children who are back in Ukraine.  Pray for them to have strength to deal with situations there while I am away.  Lastly, pray for my return trip to Ukraine on February 25.  I have enjoyed my time in Colorado.  But, I am ready to return to my family in Ukraine.  Thanks again to everyone who blessed me during this trip!
