Word and Motion

Quick update and then I am going to sleep...

Birth Certificates obtained this morning!!!
Tax code numbers (though not exactly what we wanted- it was a negotiation to get them promised to us for tomorrow early)
Meeting with Passport office tomorrow to try and set a scan time and day- but no guarantees on scans yet - we also have to get an official "check-out" letter from the local apartment manager in the region of the city where they used to live-and we will try again to obtain it tomorrow since the Apartment manager was gone for the day.

Thank you for praying for us. I was able to proclaim the word of God in a village church meeting tonight. I quoted a chapter of the Psalms while my friend Pastor Ruslan translated, then I taught some from the passage on the Harvest in John Chapter 4. It was an incredible time to meet together with the family of God in the countryside outside Kiev. The local pastor and I were able to pray individually for many people who indicated they needed healing in some way from God. I am rejoicing because at the close of our time, two ladies indicated that they had believed Christ for salvation tonight!!! One had been an Orthodox church member, but testified how she has just met Jesus Christ instead of being just a religious person.

John 4:25-26 "The woman said to Him, 'I know that Messiah is coming; when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.'
Jesus said to her, 'I who speak to you am He.'"

Blessings-
Chris

It's so good to hear that you were actually able to get the birth certificates today! In some ways it's hard to believe that this process is really almost to the end. We miss you here and look forward to your return with the new kids! Know that you are prayed for with faith that God will make himself evident through all of this.

Great news that the paperwork is getting completed and it was wonderful to hear about the ladies who became Christians!
