Quote (from our prayer chain -July 28, 2012): From Sandy PLEASE… need huge prayers NOW. All family has been called in. Time is short. Gerald has not yet accepted Jesus as his Saviour. Mitch is broken! Tough to read that. Is this really the way Jesus wants it to work? That we become absolutely broken…

He’s done it! Note the date – July eight. Yes, it rhymes… Anyway, Kai rolled today, not for the first time but many times over. From his tummy to his back.

We have 10 participants from all over Europe (like Sweden, Germany, Lithuania, Switzerland) in three teams heading to nations like Romania, Russia and Ukraine!

When it comes to living in far off places there are so many things that we have to learn. So when I read an article about what people need to learn if they are coming to Canada or America I thought it kind of interesting. HSBC has a culture guide by country which is what…

We have travelled and taught and studied multiple new languages with such variety as Mandarin Chinese, Indonesian and Russian. Of course, as teachers it is incredibly important to show humility by also being a learner, of culture and language, so that we don’t think we only have something to offer without also realizing that we…

I’m not totally sold on all of the ideas presented in the article below, but now that I’ve got two growing little boys I definitely am seeing the need for a strategy in developing them into next gen men.

Yes. Yes we do! It’s not a totally abnormal event for the power to be off at our house, even up to a few hours. It happens more now that it is really hot and everybody’s air con is on high. Anyway, maybe you’re not like us but before leaving for the night to go…

Our friends are out of town for a little while so we are planning to leave a small welcome home basket in their apartment for when they return. We were thinking some fruit, chocolate, maybe a few canned drinks. Today as we told our Ukrainian friend about our plans to put a little welcome basket…

Hey Dad! I just wanted to write you a little note and say I love you and I’m so thankful for you! Since you’ve been gone I’ve been trying to include Jay and Cas in more things I do, not just getting the jobs done but trying to let them be a part of it.…

“I wasn’t God’s first choice for what I’ve done for China. I don’t know who it was. It must have been a man—a well–educated man. I don’t know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn’t willing. And God looked down… and saw Gladys Aylward. And God said, ‘Well, she’s willing.’” – Gladys Aylward

2012-Jun-08 at 00:56 | Svitlana Tuchynska ** Taken from the Kyiv Post Take a quick lesson on Euro 2012 co-host Ukraine. It is Ukraine, not “the Ukraine.” More than half (53 percent) of the population speaks Ukrainian and 44 percent Russian. The capital, Kyiv, is mostly a Russian-speaking city. While the population of Ukraine is…

I’m posting this article from Christianity Today because of its relevance to my post on Father’s Day. There is a really great quote below: Frederick von Hugel said the institution of the church is like the bark on the tree. There’s no life in the bark. It’s dead wood. But it protects the life of…

During the month of June we will doing special feature posts on Ukraine. It won’t be quite like discovery channel, we just don’t have the time or budget for that. The purpose of these posts is to give you a basic introduction to the world of an eastern European Ukrainian. As you may have noticed,…

** This is a guest post by Mike Hopcraft. Wow! I can’t believe that 2 weeks have gone by. Lisa and I have thoroughly enjoyed Ben and Ang’s wonderful hospitality. I am so glad that Lisa has been here before and that Ben was such a willing guide – I would have been lost many times over.…
