In September I will be going to Ukraine to attend Youth with a Mission's DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Kyiv. The first part of the trip is a lecture phase where the students will learn about missions and about living a godly life. The second half we will go to Moldova and Romania. Our ministry will take place throughout the trip, even in the lecture phase when we are in Kyiv. Please keep my team and I in your prayers throughout the whole trip! Thanks for reading!

Wrapping Up Cahul


5:32 PM

Last Sunday I got to teach in Sunday School. I taught the kids a song about God’s promise: the rainbow. Oh and did I mention that I sang it in Russian? The kids seemed to be very amused at my Russian speaking skills (or lack thereof). We had two major events in the latter part of the week. On Thursday we led Emmanuel Church’s youth group; the subject was the value of life. This was a chance to do our human trafficking presentation one more time. A fellow team member taught on how much God values us-even more than the lowly sparrow! I even had the opportunity to tell a testimony on how I learned of how God values me despite the things that I can’t do and that he created us each so unique.

Friday we had an evangelism service with the charismatic church. I had no clue that it was actually at a well-known bar in town until we arrived. Turns out that God can move through anyone and anything, even if it’s in a bar.

This weekend we began to have goodbye dinners with our contacts in Cahul. So far we have said goodbye to our friends at Salvation Army and Emmanuel church. It was such a nice time being able to say thank you to these awesome people that we worked with. The nice thing about this town is that we can most likely count on seeing a number of these people around town. We tend to meet people everywhere we go that we are already friends with!

These last couple days in Cahul will be a little relaxing physically but mentally I’m going a little crazy. In a little over a week I will be back at home in my own room, not living with 4 other girls and not having to walk across town to have dinner at the boy’s house. It’s a weird thought for me. There’s going to be substantial changes! Looking forward to the last few days in Cahul while it lasts!

Keep me in your prayers as I try to keep healthy and pack up all of my things for heading back to Kyiv.

  1. Love you girl. I'm praying for all of you. Transitioning is not going to be easy, it's been a challenge for me, but you're going to be great! I hope the last days in our lovely Cahul are sweet. Hugs!
