Football and more

Euro 2012 continues to bring visitors and excitement to L'viv. Thus far, my favorite fans have been Denmark and Portugal. For their game day, fans from both teams were chanting and singing country songs back and forth to each other, all in friendly rivalry. That is what makes Soccer fun and exciting. I may be a slight Portugal fan, so I was happy with their win this week, but of course, Ukraine has my highest hopes:) Ukraine won their first game, and sent all of Ukraine into one big party! Their next game is tomorrow, and they will be playing France. Hoping for a win, so maybe Ukraine will play their A game?


Jodie ( the summer intern) has been here now for two weeks! It is such a blessing to have her here. She brought some fun crafts with her, and the kids from the "RadFun" playground ministry (which is the new name I've just recently, on my own, started calling it) have thoroughly enjoyed. And it is nice to have someone else around to share in the joys and struggles of life in Ukraine, and the life of ministry. Don't forget you can keep up with her perspective of her journey here by visiting her blog: http://jodiesjourney1.blogspot.com/










And don't forget, that you can be apart of the ministry here as well! Please Pray! Put Radical Feet on any prayer chains and prayer list you come across! The more we pray, the more there's victory!

“But there's far more to life for us. We're citizens of high heaven! We're waiting the arrival of the Savior, the Master, Jesus Christ, who will transform our earthy bodies into glorious bodies like his own. He'll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him.” Philippians 3:20 MSG

Sex Standing Up : Moldova Part 2

If you missed part one, please read it first: Part 1 Throughout my trip I was reading the book written by John Eldredge, entitled Beautiful Outlaw. If you've not read it, I would highly encourage you to do so. And I hope with this next sentence you will still read his book, and the rest of this blog for that matter. The title of this blog I questioned, but you are here reading this so it either hooked you in, or was in poor taste enough that either way you are here. In Eldredege’s book, he pokes fun at the joke, that I've heard many say about Baptist, you know the one, “ Why don’t Baptist have sex standing up? Because it would look too much like dancing.” Honestly I've never gotten the joke, cause I’m not sure a Baptist would talk about sex in public either, well at least not the good ole’ conservative southern Baptist. But this was the point, Christians in their various denominations get lost in their theology. They, I guess I should say ...

Serenity

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.  Today has been a bit of a struggle for me. I've been asking God why, which is never an encouraging way to spend the day. It all started with a little boy at the social orphanage. Last week, he was a little wild, so I just scooped him up, and held him in my lap, while Ed told the Bible Story. As we sat, this little boy just melted into my arms, sat quietly, and listened. So this week, as soon as I sat down in the classroom, he was climbing into my lap, and started to just talk to me.  He told me how everyone had gotten picked up this weekend and got to go home for the holiday Ukraine just celebrated. This social orphanage we go to, the kids live and go to school in one place. Their parents either are incarcerated, too poor to care for their child, or a single parent. Some people put their kids in this "school" so that they ca...

RIP

I  want to take the time to let you know how great Dr. K was. He has been a ministry partner with Hands on Missions for a really long time. His free medical clinic offered aid to thousand. He would make house calls (even to the missionaries in town) and give free medicine. Often he would visit our elderly neighbors, patiently listen to their every whim, as though he had all his day to offer sympathy. I left Ukraine for a couple years, and when I returned, I ran into Dr. K on the street. He genuinely took interest in how I was doing asking questions and encouraging me. Couple months ago my arm went numb and I was freaking out a little bit so I went to Dr. K for help. I was in pain and worried, and he looked at me and said, its okay, don't worry. And after a chiropractic session, I could feel my hand again. Did you know if it had not been for Dr. K my family would not be in Ukraine. My mom originally came to Ukraine in the 90's to do children's ministry outside ...
