Almost there.....

    We have only one more week left from our training at the Seaside Missionary Training Center. It's been a great time here, I was together with students from Poland and Ukraine and I made friends for life.But God wants us to move on and go to the next stage: intermship. Everybody is thinking wich place it would be better for internship, some of the students already decidec, some of them are still thinking and praying about it.
    I am ready to apply what i've learned here, I don't know for where I will be for internship but most probably I will go to Uganda or India, wherever I'll go i know God will take care of me.
   But for now I am very excited because I'm going home to spend Christmas with my family and my church.




   I would like to ask you to pray for:
- my internship
-my way back home
-my time with my family and friends
-all the students at SMTC
-financially support for internship

Yalta bay

In the week 8-14 of November we had the opportunity to go in Yalta, a beautiful city in Crimea, southern Ukraine, on the north coast of the Black Sea. We went there to be trained in sreet evangelism, It was a challenging week but God helped us to finish.

on our way to Yalta  (we had to take the train, it was a long way...12 h)

i know we look happy, but we were very tired, 10h of classes each day...

second month in Ukraine...

When i was aked  why did i want to come in Ukraine i said:"Because i don't want to be 'normal'".
The person who asked me gave me a strange look when i said that, but then,i told hin that i don't want to have a regular life,i want to do something great, and what can be greater then taking part in God's ministry?




I am in Odessa at the Seaside Missionary Training  Center for almost two months,,,,In these two months i faced ups and of course, i faced downs.But God is good and I am starting to adapt and to be more focused on studying and learning what does it takes to be a missionary.


Please check out the pictures below and see what has been happening here.
