It brought back memories this morning when I met a man from Romania and greeted him with, Bună dimineaţa-good morning, and Ce mai faci- how are you We talked briefly about different places in Romania. Romania will always have a special place in my heart because that is how it all began for me in ministry among other cultures.

Memory lane was nice but it also led me to think about how Jesus has blessed me with meeting people from so many places. I am so thankful that he has given me a purpose in life that no one would have anticipated, including me, when I was younger.

In many ways it feels like it has culimnated in my current ministry with my Ukrainian friends. We draw on past experience with Jesus and even learn from mistakes to prepare for now and future ministry.

Speaking of Ukrainian friends, please be in prayer for them as they feel uncertain about the future and their status to stay here in the USA. Please also pray for an end to the war there.

Specifically please pray for my friend Pastor Alekseyi. He had his hours reduced to 30 hours per week at his job so he is supplementing that by deliverying for Walmart but he has neck and back pan so that is a bit iffy for him. Please pray for Jesus to provide for him and his family.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
