Ukraine Celebrates 25 Years of Independence With the Growing Threat of All Out War

By No tags 0

Some of you were wondering why I didn’t mention Ukraine’s 25th Independence day celebration in my podcast yesterday.

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about it! It’s just that yesterday, I still ended up sitting through about 9 hours of meetings! That’s the missionary life sometimes!

Our children were also busy working with about a 100 crazy kids at vacation Bible school at our church all day.

However, we decided that we weren’t going to let the day pass without donning our Ukrainian vyshyvanka’s and celebrating 25 years of Ukrainian freedom.
