The new year gives a great chance for evaluation. How was last year? What will this year be like? In a few weeks we will be submitting our annual report, but for now let me just say that God has been so faithful to our family in every way.
- We were able to move into a house closer to the kids school; they walk everyday!
- We continue to use our gifts of teaching to help multiply new Bible teachers.
- We also remain deeply tied to our friends and coworkers in Ukraine by praying, communicating, hosting, social posting and writing newsletters on behalf of YWAM Kyiv (not to mention zooming in for leadership meetings and promoting Waves of Hope).
- We joined a small group of families here in Budapest that all came from Kyiv and continue to work within Ukraine while living here due to the kids going to school with our kids. It has been extremely life giving.
- Ben has enjoyed teaching a second year at the school (it is easier a second time around!), has become more involved with coaching sports, and was able to participate in YWAM Budapest work a bit more.
We feel we are in just the right place for ‘such a time as this’ and are trusting that one day the war will end. In the meantime, we keep working to use our gifts and talents in obedience to God.
