“I have but one passion – it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.” Count Zinzindorf “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s…

We are in the final stages of leading the School of Biblical Studies here in Kyiv. We have just over a month left and it is exciting to watch the students as they make it through the prophetic books in the Old Testament. 4 out of the 8 students will be taking part in Titus…

We like to introduce you to different people we meet, since that helps you understand our life a little more. Today I want to introduce Vicka. Vicka is a student in our bible school. She is Ukrainian and has a passion to teach God’s word. She will do Titus Project this fall to get stronger…

“An autotelic person needs few material possessions and little entertainment, comfort, power, or fame because so much of what he or she does is already rewarding. Because such persons experience flow in work, in family life, when interacting with people, when eating, even when alone with nothing to do, they are less dependent on the external…

Well, I recently wrote a great blog on this movie entitled “The Island”, but it got deleted along with our recent stuff … and I just can’t remember it. But its an interesting movie, that for me raised a lot of questions about the Orthodox Church here in Ukraine. We’ll bring our copy home in…

A few posts ago, 9 of Them, we mentioned wed like to feature some of their stories. Here is the first one. One of the students in Sweden is from Ukraine, Dima. We met him and his wife, Zhenya, while we were still there running Titus. Theyre really an incredible couple, intelligent, passionate believers, from…

Its been almost 3 weeks where have we been? Let me tell you. While we were in Sweden (one month ago), we were informed that we would be moving out of the classroom weve been in we just didnt know where. The move has been in the works since around Christmas, but in the…

The last two weeks have been full of activity (we just posted some new pictures). We travelled to Sweden to teach in the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) there. That is where we were for nearly 3 months last year for Titus Project. It was really kind of them to invite us back to teach…

We just finished hosting a team of Bible teachers from Taiwan. It was great, we got to see a couple of our friends and they brought some Bubble Tea too – Bubble Tea is probably one of our favourite drinks of all time (at least for Ben)! Anyway, not only did we have a great…

Our first experience with the orthodox church happened in late May 2009. We were visiting Kyiv while considering where we might relocate Titus Project in Europe. As part of our visit, one of our hosts by the name of Tim Huddleston, now a treasured friend, took us for a tour around Kyiv. As we learned,…

You wouldn’t believe how long I’ve waited to be able to use that!!! :) But its the truth, today Jay began walking… Angela texted me while I was at work, “Jay just took 10 steps”. I bet you can imagine what I was thinking at that point! I had the camera at work, but when…

It is a big deal here! It is a National holiday in Ukraine and everyone makes sure to treat women especially well on this day. My morning began with Ben taking care of the kids so that I could sleep in, a cup of coffee brought to me in bed when I woke up, and…

Maybe you have asked yourself why Ben and Ang bought a new car, emphasis on new. We’ve asked ourselves that same question a few times too, but after a whole bunch of research we’ve settled the matter for ourselves. We thought you might be interested to know why. Options: a) bring in a car from…

We don’t usually blog about our kids except on their own personal pages, but today I feel that Cassie deserves the spotlight (or maybe Mommy does). Today we started with Potty training. You may be thinking, ‘What?! She is almost 3 (in May) and she isn’t potty trained yet?’ It is true! Not because she…
