All is well here in Ukraine. We had another productive day at work. It rained in the morning so we were able to get some rest and do a little sightseeing until lunch. After lunch we managed to pour all the concrete for the footings. Wew should have everything ready for Troys team to start laying block and building the walls. We have officially layed the cornerstone for Hopehouse mission headquraters in Ukraine. Dinner was amazing and then the team had a ping pong tournament. Everyone sends their love and many thanks for the continued prayers. We have also enjoyed reading everyones comments, thanks for taking the time to write. They mean a lot to us. Yuri and Ira have been terrific as usual. They say hello as well. Goodnight!

Praying for your team!! Sounds like you kicked it off right on the Black Sea. We did not have a body of water big enough for a boat in Lugansk
List your team members on the blog so we can lift them up in prayer by name. Praying for strength and safety. Jim

Love the daily updates. We are praying that everyone is keeping up their strength, especially after those ping-pong tournaments (grin). So exciting to hear the “physical cornerstone” for HH has been laid…Praise God! Can only imagine what He has in store now! Love and miss you!
