The first evening several of the Ukraine volunteers wished to walk through the park down to town.  The sun was still bright in this northern region as the group set out.  They happened to be wearing their GAiN identification badges and conversed in English which drew the attention of one young woman.  She asked what group they were with and why they had come to Lviv.  Esther S. recognized this as a divine appointment orchestrated by God as she “happened”  to have her gospel bead bracelet on her arm and some literature in her pocket.  The ensuing conversation revealed that the woman, named Katia, was one who had attended a number of churches and she had several questions about God, Jesus, and christianity.  Esther listend attentively and told Katia that it doesn’t really matter which church one attends, but rather the thing that matters is what one believes about Jesus Christ.  This led into the presentation of the need for forgiven sin and the salvation offered through Jesus.  When Katia left, she had a gospel bead bracelet and the explanation of the gospel to ponder.  Pray with us that Katia might come to know the Lord as her savior from the penalty of sin.   

Good news and answer to your prayers of yesterday: the missing suitcases have been found and flown to Lviv.  They will be trucked down to Chernivsti; we hope they will arrive by tomorrow morning.
