Fraser Valley, Ukraine: Team Testimonials
July 7, 2009
"[Hightlights of the trip were] visiting widows, and having widows over for a special dinner and hearing their testimonies. Hearing their life stories during communism and afterwards."
"I was excited how our funds came in within such a short time for the trip to the Ukraine.
We made plans but God changed some of them for the good, and I felt so good about how things worked out for His good!"
"I will never be the same, after hearing people who went through much hardship and who have so little, but are so thankful to God."
"I learned to pray for the people I have met. Since I know their needs and hardships better after seeing and hearing them. Is was so hard for me to see Puska, a young man who was paralyzed, just laying there unable to do anything."
"I'm going to share the story of my trip with others, trusting that they would pray and give or go on a trip. It was so good to see how God is caring for needy people by using the people of their own country."
"Going to visit sisters was a highlight. Ministering to them and then the next evening, helping the remaining sister with her grief. Meeting her request without us even knowing about it, having a service with the lady in her apartment."
"The Lord brought so many things together that just fell into place. The Lord is never too early, never too late, just on time. It was meant to be that this team make this trip and this time. The funds coming together -another miracle.
"I love these people and they will always have a place in my heart. You can't limit God in what He can do."
"[I have been impacted by] the love that these people have for the Lord. They have gone through so much and are still suffering. We have so much and we still complain. The foods here are ripe into harvest, but the workers are few. John desperately needs an assistant to work alongside him."
"I'm going to pray harder for these people and John. Nadia especially, their load is heavy."
