Don't think I've blogged on this one. Amy and I (along with my parents and a group of others) are travelling to Ukraine today for a week. Christ Fellowship has been partnering with a church over there for many years, and they are opening their new Sanctuary this week (that we helped build). This will be my first trip to Ukraine in close to 12 years, but since Amy is a regular over to the country, this is a great chance for her to catch up with friends (and introduce me to them).
While there I get to speak a couple times; the most interesting topic is "how to be a Christian outside the box?" which I'm taking to mean outside of culture... I think that's hilarious because I don't know Ukranian culture yet I get to talk to them about being above it? I'm not really in the mood to get as deep as Niebuhr's Christ in Culture, but I'm sure we'll work something out.
Pray for the trip, that God will lead, protect, strengthen, and focus our thoughts on him. I'll try to blog over there (in Internet Cafe's), and I'll post a bunch of pictures when I get back.
Praying that your trip will be safe and filled with God's blessings!
