Recent trip to Ukraine

What a blessing it was to go into Ukraine with friend and Pastor Marlow Dunham, and Gary Sherman from the River Church in Poughkeepsie, NY. We visited our friends at the Life Ministry, Nadja, Vika, Rita, Marlow, Oxanna and Volodya, Gary. Then to Mukachevo where Pastor Misha has a church. Here is Misha, Marlow, Volodya and Carlos. Marlow, Gary and I all ministered at this Tuesday evening prayer meeting. Carlos translated into Hungarian and Volodya into Ukrainian.

This is a picture of Carlos's wife Lalo and their one month old baby Gloria. Carlos tried to wake her up so I could hold her. This pregnancy and problem free delivery is a miracle story. Two years ago Lalo was paralysed and at the point death. Much prayer from many nations resulted in her being almost 100% whole.

Mary Jill, I have been trying to find an email to write you at but I guess this will have to do for now. I just wanted to write you and say I miss you so very much, almost as much as I miss Ukraine. I was just reading through your blogs and wondering if you had any new news for me concerning Alla or the ministry in Ukriane. The things I have been hearing have been encouraging. I can't wait to go back and see you all once more. This week just finished up finals for me and still I feel as though I am not really here, in the US. Even after 6 months of being "home" I feel as if I am still missing parts of me in Ukraine. I think about Alla and the team and my class at Chaslivsti daily wishing I could be there to help in some way. Until then though, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you lots of love...

February 4,5 Alpha Holy Spirit Retreat Hollókö, Hungary

Image
Last Friday I traveled to Hollókö, Hungary to meet with my Hungarian friend. Nora. Nora is leading her second Alpha Course in her village. From there we traveled to another village for an overnight retreat.  10 ladies and some children attended. The Holy Spirit was so faithful to demonstrate Himself in our midst giving encouraging words as we prayed together,  refilling some and baptizing some for the first time.  It was a very precious time. If God lays it on your heart please be praying for these ladies. The 10 ladies were from 6 different villages in Nograd county (and me,too). In none of the villages are living churches but most of these ladies are "keys" to living prayer groups. Nora has been working in one of the villages and is now in the process of setting up a small retreat center. After our weekend she took me there to pray. She and her husband were able to acquire a small "prayer" house, which was once a Baptist prayer house which is next to a home they...

We had a really good night last night - kind of...

My brother Jack and his wife Debby just arrived back from Florida where Jack was trying to hide out from having to face a "big" birthday. So my sister Kathi and I decorated his house to welcome him home - and left him a card that said "You can run, but you can't hide! :-). Some of you know Jack by his more common name "No rules for kids, Uncle Jack". Well, mom really enjoyed visiting with Jack and Debby and as a result she stayed up until 10.30. Most nights she can only sleep for about 5 hours tops and even then gets up a number of times. That means I get up with her :-). Night before last that was at 1.30, 4, 6 and 7!! So when this morning I realised I had been able to sleep through the night I was more concerned than relieved. I checked my monitor and yes it was working and finally turned on the light to check and see if mom was ...alive. Do you remember the first night your baby slept all the way through to morning? You awake with a start and run in...

Chocolate chip cookies

Image
My mom who was a very good cook and baker, was famous for her chocolate chip cookies. Since she can no longer make them I took it upon myself to "try" to perfect the recipe. This is my latest attempt. (Last weeks were enjoyable but not in the running) Two brothers independently rated them at 8.5 out of 10 - 10 of course would be just like moms. This score could even climb to 9 depending on how they taste frozen. Mom often baked at night and would leave "some" out on a plate and the rest hidden in the freezer so they would last longer. Of course we figured that out pretty quickly and now prefer them frozen. You may like yours golden and crispy but there is a secret ingredient in these and a way to bake them that makes them soft and oh so yummy!!
