Prayer requests... we have been privileged to be a part of a baptism this morning... thank the Lord for saving these three ladies ... please pray for them as they begin their walk with the Lord... also please pray for their families as some are already christians and some are not. the team is in fervant prayer for these. Pray for this evenings' services, both with adults and later youth and for those working with the children now and later this evening... pray for the Lord to bless their efforts and speak to each of these great kids abouat His love for them.
The weather has stabilized around here and we are enjoying it. Praises that Joel arrived safely to finish out the week with the team. Tomorrow morning there will be a baptism for four believers. Friday morning the American and Ukrainian teams will have shashleek together and then we will begin the journey back to Kiev. Pray for those whom God is dealing with, that they will not walk away from the last meetings without Him and that the team will be able to finish the final things that need to be done for the camp.

The Graceland Team arrived in Kiev on Saturday morning and ate Valya's cooking for lunch at Joel and MaryEllen's then boarded the train in terrible heat to begin a 15 + hour ride to Lugansk. The train did cool off a little after getting under way. We arrived in Lugansk and were met by Oleg, our church planter and Marina a translater. From there we drove to Rovenkee and spent part of the afternoon at the rehab center. Then in the evening we had a service in the tent and then met the Ukrainian team, getting to know one another.
