Ethan took a marshrutka (passenger van where you buy a seat for commuting) to Chernigov this morning and plans to visit with friends there. He will be staying with Jake Knotts, the pastor of Christian Bible Church .

He will see our friends, Danny and Anneliese Foote, today who are passing through Chernigov, and he hopes to see Conor and Koren McNamee this week. There are also wonderful saints in the church there whom he would enjoy seeing again.

Thank you for your prayers for his time in Priluki. It was a good time of ministry and also revisiting old places, and seeing many people whom we love and pray for. He spent two evenings teaching, and then Sunday he preached on Psalm 67, a favorite of our family's. I am looking forward to talking to Ethan when he gets back about his time there. A couple of blessings from the past couple of days included spending Saturday at Max's dacha outside of Priluki, and spending time talking to Lyosha, a theology/Bible professor who is from Priluki, who was visiting. On Sunday afternoon, many people stayed after church to fellowship, eat pizza together, and visit with Ethan. What a blessed time!
