Right around the corner

The Ukraine mission trip is right around the corner. We leave on the 10th of June. Our tickets are bought so we are going! YEA!! First of all....may I just say WE CAN HARDLY WAIT! We are more and more excited the closer it gets. We are still short on funding despite the many fund raisers we have done through out the year. We are not panicked though, as we know God will provide. We are asking that you pray for us that we will do what ever God opens up for us to do to earn more. Also, if you can give, even a small amount, we know without a doubt, that God will multiply it and use it for His glory. He always does. The funds will pay for our lodging, food, payment for translators, craft items, supplies, and travel while we are in Ukraine. Our theme this year is "The Armor of God". We are purchasing NIV Russian Bibles. (another thing the funds go towards) The children are going to decorate their own Bible covers. Every day we will teach more about the armor of God and we will use Paul to show how he put on the different parts of the armor. An unexpectd cost we have this year is luggage. In the past we have been allowed to bring 2 50 pound suitcases. We use one for our personal items and one for crafts, supplies, and donations. This year, we can take one 50 pound suitcase only. This will really limit us, so instead of taking one only, we are still taking two, and will have to pay extra for the weight. If you can give financially, please write your check out to SACS and mark it for "Ukraine Missions" and mail it to: San Antonio Christian School @ 19202 Redland Rd Bld F San Antonio, TX 78259. Our deadline is June 1st for getting all our funds in. I forgot to mention that we each have to raise $2,800 and some of us are almost there and some of us are far from there. More than anything, we appreciate your prayers. Satan is attacking and does not want this trip to happen. Igor (In Ukraine) is working on his end on getting us in to the village and to the orphan camps and Fontanka so that we can teach the Bible stories and spend precious time with the kids. Please pray that we will be able to have this time (especially at Camp Viktoria).
