May 27, 2014Sad to hear on the TV that planes are attacking the separatists. Must pray that this will not escalate.

May 27, 2014You and Ukraine continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. This happened at worship on Sunday – http://www.christianchronicle.org/article/pro-russian-militants-seize-church-of-christ-building-in-eastern-ukraine-during-sunday-worship

May 28, 2014Thanks for sharing that David, I had heard that the separatist had taken a church building and the Bible Institute. Sad indeed!
Dan Black

Dan Erickson
May 30, 2014Thanks for the ideas. Many of these prayers could work at home too.
Betty Draper
May 30, 2014Great ideas…now comes the hard part, doing them. My husband is so much better at following the news so thanks to him I can keep up. It’s a messy world we live in and even though the word says, there is nothing new under the sun, it seems because of instant broadcasting something new is breaking out all over the world. It can be frightening until we remember God said it would be this way, wars all over. Praying for the Suko family too since all this has an affect on your ministry in Ukraine. Thanks brother for keeping us informed from you perspective.
Caleb
May 30, 2014Thanks so much Betty, especially for praying for our family too! We are really itching to get back to Ukraine now and we only have a couple of months left here in the States.

June 3, 2014Caleb, Thanks so much for putting this out there. It’s so easy to forget that our brothers and sisters around the world are often dealing with different challenges than we.
I’ve only caught a couple episodes of your podcast so far but I’m really enjoying it.
Caleb

June 6, 2014TO Caleb and family, Things seem in a very bad way – just everywhere really. 800 kids sent now to the Black Sea. We must pray for their safety and for their parents that many will turn to Jesus. I do hope you and your family will not return to Odessa. May the Lord keep you all safe and give you wisdom at this time..
Caleb
June 6, 2014Yes, thank you so much for your prayers! We are still hoping to return to Odessa in August and praying that things will be calm there then.
