Welcome to Kyiv!



We made it to Kyiv safely last night about 1045pm. Anya, Victor, and Karen were there to greet us. The flight, all in all, was pretty good. We were fortunate enough to have an American missionary by the name of Georgia, to offer us a place to stay while in Kyiv for three nights. After getting a good night's sleep, we met Karen this morning at 1030am. After getting a quick familiarization with Ukrainian public transportation, we made our way over to Anya's. After taking care of some paperwork, we went to Anya's apartment where we were greeted by Victor, Julia, and Anya's grandmother. Anya and Victor prepared a wonderful meal for us as we visited and held the baby. After dessert and many photos, we are now able to log on and update the Blog. We will keep everyone posted in the days to come. Tomorrow is our appointment with the SDA where we should recieve our paperwork to go down and visit Berdyansk, and God willing, see the girls. Thank you all for all of your prayers.

Hi Guys,
Congratulations on the safe arrival. We're praying that God lets you see through his eyes as you go to your appointment. All is well here. I met Julie's mom at church yesterday and the kids looked great - VERY HAPPY! We miss you. Last night I went to Bob Kelly's home group and he told the group about your journey. There was an extended time of prayer for you. We're all checking your blog every day so keep up the posts and the photos. Know that you are loved and we are looking over your shoulders to rejoice with you in what God is doing THROUGH you! PURE RELIGION is caring for widows and orphans in their distress.

You are loved...
Pastor Kenny & Your Oasis Church family.
