A Busy Holy Week

After enjoying a wonderful Easter here in Ukraine, it’s back to business. I’m still unpacking from last week’s trip to Kyiv with its strategic planning and Staff meetings and tutorials with students. I got back to Odessa to jump into preparations for Easter. But I still managed to work with the publisher on the final corrections to my book: “Retooling the Church: A Spiritual Gifts Toolbox,” soon to be available on Amazon!

I leave again on Tuesday for 3 days of Presbytery work in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky. That just leaves Monday to catch up on the huge pile of papers on my desk! But even Monday is already half-full. It is “Easter Monday” in Ukraine, and the church’s ministries will also fill half the day and the evening. Whew! Work is sometimes like that, but how exciting to see God at work in people’s lives – in answer to the prayers of his people, and allowing us to take a part in it – even if that means the work is sometimes exhausting!
