Special Visit

This week Tammy Swailes stopped by for a short visit.  Tammy is the director of INSTE in Europe and our supervisor.  Since she lives in Ukraine, a two-day drive from here, she is not able to stop by often.  Even though she was with us for only one day, we did have a productive time together.  Please pray for Tammy.  Even though she lives in the western part of Ukraine and she is physically safe, the unrest in the country affects her in other ways.  Many Unkrainian INSTE students and other people she knows live in or near the areas affected by the current violent situation.  Of course, she and all those around her are very concerned for the future of the country.

Many people ask if we are affected by the situation in Ukraine.  We are not affected at the present time, but we are concerned.  Misha, our close friend, is a Ukrainian married to a Hungarian.  He has many family members and friends living in Ukraine and tells us the situation is in desperate need of our prayers.  So, we are not personally affected, but we are concerned.

Tammy is scheduled to leave Ukraine for the US in late June for six months.  Please continue to pray for her, for Misha, and for peace to come to Ukraine.
