short term team coming!
On Thursday, March 30th, I have three ladies from America who are coming for a twelve day fast paced short term mission trip. The focus of this trip is to:
1. further the ministry of Healing Hearts International in Ukraine, specifically in Kiev and surrounding areas through Women’s ministry meetings at different churches
2. offer encouragement and teaching from the Word of God to current Ukrainian leaders
3. handing over the ministry during this time to three Ukrainian leaders
I’ve been busy the last month doing all the administrative work involved in a short term team coming. We will be travelling between three different cities, from Kiev in the north of Ukraine to Lugansk region in the south of Ukraine and two cities in bewtween! PHEW! I’m already tired! I never realized how much work goes into the planning of a short term team, I have new appreciation for all of those short term leaders who travel all the time! I have learned much in the process though and am thankful for the opportunity.
However, this will be my last planning of teams with the ministry of Healing Hearts International. I’m filled with a myraid of emotions as the time comes to hand the ministry over. Pray that “it is not I who lives but Christ who lives in me”, that I will reflect this when the team is here, and when the team is gone.
