Final preparations have been made and the SACS team will be leaving tomorrow morning (Thursday) bright and early.  Please keep all of us in prayer as well as the kids that we will be reaching out to.  Pray that the doors will be open and kids' hearts will be softened to hear our lessons and the good news that Jesus loves them and died for them. Pray that our flights will all go well and that we will be safe in our travels.  We will arrive in Odessa Friday afternoon and get settled in for a couple nights' stay.  Then Friday evening we will meet our translators and get to know them a bit before we start our ministry on Saturday!  I am writing in Pam's place and will be updating the blog on the Ukraine side.  Pam will probably do some posting too because we will not always have internet.  Thanks again for your prayers!  In His Service, Carol McGilvray
