We mentioned in the post yesterday that we would be starting classes this week. On Tuesday, Tim will meet with three fellows for a class in Christian Ethics, and then on Thursday he will also meet with a group at a village church to teach a class based in Practical Christian Issues. The youth there had actually responded to a survey about what they would like to have offered to them on a theme of theology. But Tim thought it might be a good idea to get acquainted with this group on a more elementary level.
One of the very important aspects of any academic learning experience is reading, but to have access to the required books for the Christian Ethics class meant finding them online and having them shipped here by air freight to get them here quickly in order to begin the class. So, in a way we were hit pretty hard on the expenses to get the books here. Later, we want to share how you might be able to help us in Christian education ministry and leadership training here in Ukraine. Please follow this important aspect of our ministry here.
We wanted to add to this matter of the books being shipped here for our class and write that we are very grateful for the help that Cheryl's mother gave to this project as she received the books from all parts of the US and then with the help of one of her grandsons (Clayton), packed the box (along with some other goodies like chocolate chips, etc.) to ship it to us. We were so delighted that the entire process from Cheryl's mothers' house to Uzhgorod took less than two weeks. Thank you.
We went to the village of Kamyaitza to worship in the evening. We had shared with you that we have been preaching there on themes relative to the Holy Spirit. But this evening the church had special guests visiting from a church about 100 miles away and they offered singing and preaching. It was very nice and gave us a break from preaching.
