Sorry for the delay everyone. I got back to Dallas and had a week of classes, finals this week, Friday I go to Seattle to meet Amy's family (really excited about that) working around Christmas (I didn't have much of a choice with as much time as I have had off recently), a one week class- the last EVER, and then a trip back home to Phoenix and Amy will get to meet my family). So it goes without saying that I have been very busy.
But you all have followed the trip, prayed for me, and I owe you some updates on how the trip went. This post is a summary. If you want more details then feel free to read the other posts. Here are some bullet points from the trip:
* Trip was a success.
* The SEND team in Ukraine is incredible. They have very good chemistry, very friendly and hospitable, doing lots of good work.
* I love teaching. The class went well. The students responded positively. They are now considering how their churches can engage in missions and a few are now considering being missionaries themselves.
* There are some positive signs emerging in the Baptist Union. They are becoming more missionally minded.
* The younger generations are very excited about the Gospel.
* I was given the privilege of preaching at a mid-week service at the church in Chernivtsi. I learned I'm a great teacher and a good preacher.
* This trip really allowed me to see what life would look like there.
* There were some red flags that I saw. They are not black flags that would prevent me from for sure going but they are things to cautiously consider. If you really want to know what they were I can tell you individually.
* I'm excited about the future, individually, for Ukraine, and for the Second Coming! See my "Going Forward/Next Steps" Post for future plans
