The mission "Heaventown"

My location is now "Heaventown" (if translated literally from Ukrainian).

I got here this morning. I don't know where I am now according to my home.

I am sitting on something that looks like stairs leading into the house where I am going to stay over the night and meet my birthday in the morning.

 Yesterday late evening I got a message from my old American friend who ministers in Russia, Ukraine and Slovakia.
He opened his need for an interpreter for two sessions he is leading at the rehabilitation center.

He said the name of the place and time he needs me to be here.

I agreed to come over and help without knowing more information.

Would you? Me yes, this is how I usually do.

I looked at this opportunity as serving God with the possibility and ability He gave me - speaking English. It is because of Him that I can serve with this gift now.
So I spent my morning finding a way to come here and actually make the trip.

 
I had been picked up by a missionary lady who works here at the rehab center. They bought an old village hospital and some other buildings and turn it into a place of changing lives.

I came into the cold and very old Ukrainian village style room where my friend was and where the people who came to listen to him were starting to worship God.

 It was such a nice time! Singing messianic songs and interpreting for him. The message was about righteousness. Four women and five men were sitting in front of us and carefully listening, shouting "amen!" and "hallelujah!", saying "yes!" and attentively sticking their eyes on us.
I was just enjoying being in such a surrounding! I got to know some people more. Though their stories are sad, it is so miraculous how they have changed! It was an atmosphere of hearts hungry for God!




Since I leave early in the morning, because of my 22nd birthday, they prayed over me and I am grateful to finish my 21st year like this, in such place, among such people.




  
"Humbleness. Patience." These are their needs. These are my needs as a follower of Christ. These are the example of Jesus. So now these are mine.
