Ukraine and Meat

No, I'm not talking about kielbasa ("kovbasa" in Ukrainian, I believe). Though I do hope to run into one. Not to mention perogies, cabbage rolls, and halushki. Ah, just like mother-in-law used to make it.... (Yes, there's a lot of Ukrainian on Carrie's side of the family!)

No, I'm talking about what we'll be doing there. What the leaders of the growing evangelical church in Ukraine (Baptists, Pentecostal, Reformed, etc.) would like is to help their people enter more fully into the worship they faithfully offer each week. So George de Vuyst, along with Michael Cherenkov, Rachel Schupack, and others have organized a worship conference in Kiev from October 5-7. We'll explore a biblical theology of worship, listening and speaking to God, the Psalms in worship, worship and culture, and leading worship. Additionally, we'll make presentations at George and Sarah's church on Saturday, October 1.

If there's one thing that comes to mind when it comes to prayer, it is this: all of Greg's and my presentations will need to be translated into Ukrainian or Russian. Would you please pray that our ministry is effective through the translation? That at these events we can become a community of learners together? This is always possible when God's people get together!

Thanks,

Dave
