A long time has passed by since the last post on this blog. I used to
think I was going to keep this busy with articles about daily things that are
happening here with my involvement with ministries at YWAM and my Oksana
life... As I got to be ensured, this is not happening as often as I
planned it to be. It's ok, I am back to writing about what has happened since I got back from my first time staffing DTS.
It was long time ago in June.
June, a month that started with finishing the Discipleship Training School at YWAM Vinnytsia.
It was, of course, a great time of learning to be in a serving
leadership position, using skills and ideas, focusing on getting along
with the 5 students and staff team, sharing both good and down sides of
life, being encouraged and making inputs in other's lives. The main
point for me was, "To get along with each other, means to be wise" (James 3:17-18).
July! This month, surprisingly took me to Europe. It actually happened, despite that I felt it like a dream. On that month I was also blessed with traveling (love it!) --> we went to Cheb (Czech Republic; the town where we had DTS last year) and Slovenia and Italy (which turned out to be a radical, last minute planned trips for fun). Most of the time I spent in Vienna, living in and helping around the student house which is a project of Baptist Union and Burning Church.
August had just started but somehow is already half left...
I was very much excited to get back with my team, because many cool things are happening here in Vinnytsia and I was anticipating getting involved with them.
Visiting the summer camp for orphans, getting regular girl's hang outs, helping around the Transition Home, visiting wounded soldiers from East Ukraine, translating at the church construction\VBS, joining YWAM National Conference, gathering at Staff Retreat, celebrating b'days, (I am 23!) ... all of this has happened, is happening, and will happen this month.
As the summer is heading to its end, I am anticipating and worrying for the Great Move that is ahead: YWAM Boston, USA, which will become my next settled point of living and serving.
However, my documents for visa are already on the American side, waiting on approval. As soon I get it (pray for a miracle for me to get there by October. Amen. But, let His will be done. Amen) I am leaving the lovely and most dear to my heart YWAM Vinnytsia to stick to another family. It has been said to me "Transfer from a family to a family" (This happened when I stood at the worship time in YWAM Boston base at the end of last year). There, I am excited to work in the office doing finances, staff their Art DTS, help local outreaches, be involved in a Evangelical ministry for international students and, I hope to invent and launch new ministries!
As well, I believe to be called "To Serve The Servants", that means to do something for missionaries to let them serve, or rest!
