Every year we look forward to the Voronkov camp. Both of the years we were back in the States, Mary travelled back here to participate. We have been looking forward to it since we returned in January. Planning for it began several months ago and so much went into it. The Voronkov camp is always […]
We returned from the Azov camp on the 21st and the following week another camp started in Zhytomyr. We decided that Bethany and Seth would go with Mary, Micah, and Eliana and that I (Chris) would stay home with the other kids. Bethany and Seth had been with the kids the time we were gone […]
On Tuesday, June 13, we headed the Azov Sea to a Christian campground. The Azov Lighthouse camp is 760 kilometers from our home. Obviously, it was a full day of driving! Chris, Mary, Micah, Eliana, June, and some guests who came for the camp (James and Trudi) punched in the coordinates on the GPS and […]
I am sure you have heard that the Malone family will be moving back to Ukraine on January 15, 2017. We, their friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and fellow church members can go on mission with them. God calls each of us to something. Some are to go. Some are to give financial support.

This […]
Sveta came through the very intense surgery yesterday to remove part of the tumor growing in her brain. They were not able to get as much as they wanted to get, but they do believe they got enough out that they can now use radiation and other treatments to shrink it further. It is benign, […]
There is a real threat that Russia is about to launch a full-scale invasion into Ukraine. Some are throwing around words like “imminent.” However, God knows exactly what will happen and what the outcome will be. Psalm 20:7 7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the […]

We will be traveling to the retreat next week. This week, we are preparing, collecting resources, meeting with ministry partners, etc. Thanks to your generous donations, […]

When we landed, I was just overwhelmed with the feeling of being “home.” In fact, I actually teared up a little bit. The Ukrainian man next to […]
