I just received a note from Ukraine. Someone has done a calculation and told the Ukrainian people that their economy is 40 time worse than the US. I don't know how you would measure something like that. I do know that I believe the Ukrainian life is at least 40 times harder than life in the US. Prices for basics like food and transportation are skyrocketing while jobs and income are disappearing.
We received an extremely generous gift this week that will allow us to continue the next phase of construction at Dyetski Dom, our foster home. At the same time we have made the decision to sell some assets we hold in Ukraine and use the proceeds for construction. This will require us to change the way we are doing some ministry, but we feel the construction is THAT important.
My April trip is close now. I'm getting anxious to see families and friends that I miss. So far, I've received about 200 pounds of "gifts" to deliver. The airline only allows me to take half that much, including my clothes. Sometimes, I get antsy to see how God plans to get me through the situations I get myself into.
Don't grow weary,
Charles
