We have been in Georgia this past month with a team of bible teachers. We had very little internet access so that is why we haven’t updated this blog in a long time. Please forgive us. The picture to the left is a team dinner we had to celebrate Harald and Marjo’s 10th anniversary.
Joys: Our team included our co-leader Valya, Luba and a family (Harald, Marjo and their two kids Micah (5) and Grace (3). Our kids had lots of fun with their kids. Teaching in two different churches every week meant much more of an impact than a short seminar. The Georgia Ywam team was hospitable and fun. A park close by that our kids loved to play at. Lots of prayer, coffee (and tea), helping with teaching, and lots of sleep at night.
Challenges: Difficult to set up lots of teaching opportunities because it was the first time we had been there. We lived in a small apartment with 6 adults, 4 young children and a 75 year old Grandma who wanted us to keep her apartment perfect (good luck with 4 kids!). No hot water for half of the month. Very little internet. The challenge of raising kids in that kind of environment. Plus to top it off, Angela was very tired (due to the pregnancy) for most of the month.
Thank you for praying for us. Our team has gone on to Armenia and we have come home to Kyiv to get ready to welcome the 4 teams back for debriefing. We have big plans for this month, please see our post in a few days from now for some prayer requests.
