Church, church, and more church. That was today's theme. The next theme was food, food, and more food. We split up into two teams this morning and attended different churches. Our service lasted about 1 hour 45 min. Preaching went ok, I think. Nobody got up and left at least. We ate pizza for lunch at a local restaurant. No PaPa Johns, but it was still pretty good. We then headed to a Harvest Thanksgiving for the afternoon. The event brought several area churches together. A lot of singing from different groups. All Ukrainians can sing. (Jenn, they now know you sing and have requested you come next time.) We have struggled a bit in the singing dept :-) Kevin delivered a good message on "true servanthood", it was well received and very interactive for the people. After the Harvest Thanksgiving, we then headed over to the host pastor's home for some food & fellowship. There was a lot of singing, laughing, and good discussion about the church. We leave in the morning for Kirovograd. We will first visit a rescue shelter and then to another orphanage. This will be our first chance to run our program. Looking forward to it as we will be in orphanages going forward for the rest of the week.
Much Love,

Coach Drew: AMEN!!!!!So glad you're doing the Lord's work in the Ukraine. The soccer girls are making it but don't seem to have endurance to last very long at practice- HA. We look forward to your safe return. Keep shining the light to those Ukrainians!!!!
You preached for an hour and forty five minutes!?! Wow.
Blake-this is Jennifer(I forwarded your reply to Drew)-I'm hoping he didn't preach for that long! Maybe it was the service as a whole!
