We're blessed!

Our team was doubly blessed in two worship services yesterday morning. We are almost ready to go. We had a team meeting last week to go over last-minute details and pack up the donations and VBS supplies.

We are to meet at the airport at 2:30 (p.m., thankfully) on Thursday. Then we're off! We fly through Detroit, then Amsterdam, then land finally in Budapest. From Budapest we have an 8-hour drive (or so) into Ukraine.

If you have been watching the news recently, you know that tensions are high between Russia and Georgia, with a possibility of the conflict spreading into other former Soviet republics such as Ukraine (specifically Crimea). We are going to a part of Ukraine far away from what is going on there, so don't worry about us and our safety in that respect. I'm more worried about dropping a brick on my toe! :-)

But please do pray for our safety! For travel safety, especially. Here is a list of our team so you can keep us in prayer by name:

Stan Mortimer (leader)

Marci Brueggen
Jaci Finch
