Ministry in Ukraine

Paul with Luba. She is the director of Dombokie the orphanage where we are helping to place "graduates"
Church of the Living God, Muckachevo - Pastors Ivan and Tibi meet with Anya, Richard, MJ, Fred and Paul in there almost finished sanctuary.

Joseph and Tanya have recently opened up a house for street children to live with them as family - they have 10 children now. (2 of their own). They also rented a small storefront in their new neighborhood in Uzghorod and their older street children have started a soup kitchen which feeds 85 kids daily. They would really appreciate your prayers. Tanya studies English now and will see us in October 2010 at GOIAM.


This was dinner on one remarkable day when we were served breakfast, full lunch and full supper!! How did we ever forget true, rich, deep Ukrainian fellowship always includes a meal?? And why did we meet people every 3 hours that day?! PS - the meal(s) were fabulous!!



Pastor Paul between Marika and Vasily who are "mom & dad" to our Domboki graduates. Directly behind Paul is our Allah who we rescued from a terrible home situation her sister in blue scarf and her brother (not in photo- at school) are now living with her, here in Pavlova.

July 2019 Update One of the high points of summer is always our 8 day long church camp. Amazingly, this was my 5th camp!  Our guests this year were good friends, Pastor Wayne and Sherry Sanders from Chardon, OH and Paul Richards from Melbourne, Australia.  Every camp is special and God never fails to bring us the exact ministry, prophetic words and teachings we need!

The turning of a page....

Don't you just love opening a brand new beautiful and colorful notebook, grabbing your favorite pen and deciding what to write on that clean, white page? Or do you hesitate, wondering what if you mess the page up, or your ink runs out or you misspell something or you spill coffee on it???  Sometimes that first word, on the first page is the hardest.  BUT go for it!!! Jump right in! It's a brand new day, a brand new month and time's a wasting!!! I woke up this morning after a great night's sleep, ( which is somewhat rare) Remembered a dream I had (sometimes happens)...in which I Spoke a sentence in Polish and it seemed correct (and short :-) (an absolute first!) I realized then it was August first and I could turn the page on my calendar!! and in that small act of turning a page, I sensed a shift, a much bigger SHIFT. Suddenly, anything was possible, everything was possible!!! Everything was new,  new mercies, new grace, new favor, a new start, new creative ideas

Will you put your shoes in the window sill tonight?

Most Westerners are surprised to learn that in Hungary, Santa Claus is not really a feature of Christmas proper. Althought the red suited one is a familiar figure to Hungarian children, he takes a back seat to the gift bearing Christ child and his angels on Christmas eve. Indeed, old St Nick is relegated to the early part of December, coming around Hungarian houses only on Mikulas eve. Tonight, December 5, Hungarian children place their shoes on the window sill before going to bed. During the night, the kindly old Saint Mikulas fills their shoes with candy. While this sounds familiar, Mikulas differs markedly from his Western counterpart in that he is helped by a dark side-kick, Krampusz. Krampusz is a horned devil who puts a switch into the shoes of naughty children instead of candy! But this seems to be a very rare occurrence. Indeed, if kids ever get a switch from Krampusz it is spray painted gold and placed among the candy. Chocolates abound on Mikulas day, the most popular being s
